    If you are talking about instant brightening and plumping, you can feel the change in 1-2 weeks if you choose the right product. However, if you want to see real anti-aging effects such as light lines and tight contours, it will take at least 28 days, and it may take half a year or even longer.

    A while ago, my face became droopy due to the change of seasons. I was so dry that I had a lot of fake dry lines under my eyes. I temporarily switched to a high-concentration Bosein compounded with acetyl hexapeptide-8 essence. I applied two pumps of it thickly every morning and evening. In less than 10 days, my face was no longer wrinkled when I touched it, and my complexion became two shades brighter. When my best friend saw me, she asked me if I had slept enough during my recent long vacation - but do you think this is really anti-aging? In fact, no, this is just to bring back the false face that is caused by dehydration of the skin and disordered work and rest. It is an immediate improvement on the surface. When you stop for a few days, or stay up for two nights in a row, the condition will return to its original state immediately.

    Before, I still held the view that "if anti-aging products are not effective after one month, it is an IQ tax". Until I started trying entry-level alcohol A last year, it took almost a month to build up tolerance. In the first two months, except that my skin became slippery to the touch, there was no movement in lightening lines and tightening the skin. I thought that salted fish was ready to be sold at half price. , but after using it for the third month, one day when I was applying makeup, I suddenly noticed that the dry lines in the corners of my eyes that stuck when I smiled were almost invisible when I didn’t express my expression. The soft flesh on my cheeks was also firmer to the touch than before. It was then that I realized that different anti-aging pathways have really different effects.

    You must have seen the two factions that are quarreling on the Internet right now. One faction says that anti-aging skin care products are all deception, and it is better to save money for a cosmetic surgery to get quick results. The other faction says that applying anti-aging cream for ten years is more natural than undergoing cosmetic surgery. There are two examples around me. I have a friend who has insisted on using anti-aging products that match her skin type for five years. She is in the same condition as her best friend who is the same age and does Thermage once a year. There are also people who have applied affordable anti-aging essence for seven or eight years, but the sagging problem was only improved with an ultrasound. Obviously, to put it bluntly, expectations are different. If you want to quickly and accurately solve the looseness and deep static lines that have formed, then skin care products cannot keep up with medical beauty. If you want to slow down the aging process, then insist on using the right products. After three to five years, the gap between you and your peers will be visible to the naked eye.

    By the way, don’t believe those products that claim to lighten wrinkles in 7 days and firm them in 10 days. I have been fooled before and bought an essence that claimed to flatten nasolabial folds in one week. When I applied it, it did look a little smoother, but after washing my face, it returned to its original shape. The essence is that a large amount of silicon is added to fill in the lines, which is purely a visual deception.

    Now I don’t worry about how long it will take to see results. After all, anti-aging is not a project or homework. There is no fixed deadline. Just like when you ask "how long does it take to exercise to lose weight forever?", the few minutes you spend applying skin care products every day are originally a process of building confidence for your skin, so there is no rush.
