However, when it comes to Japanese palace level toner, SK-II fairy water, Albion health water and cosmodecorte perilla water, they will never be absent. So which of the three Shenshui is better? Let's take a look at some of them.
However, it is the voice of controversy that has never disappeared that matches the status of the three.
Taking shenxianshui as an example, half of the ten users around me said they would use it for life after using it, while three of the remaining half didn't have any obvious effect. On the contrary, they would dry to the skin, and the remaining two were directly allergic.
So, in the end, is the fairy water not as magical as the publicity? Or is there any unknown product information that the brand avoids?
In this issue, we will take a deep look at whether the three palace level cosmetics in Japan are easy to use. The old way is to start with the ingredients.
SK-II fairy water
The first of the three is that shenxianshui is indeed the most popular high-end makeup water in Japan, and the second is that it is too expensive. 225ml will cost 1370 yuan, so it has surpassed skin care products and become a real luxury for ladies. So think twice before you buy.
component
Filtrate of fermentation products of galactose yeast like bacteria (pitera, more than 90%)
Butylene glycol
Pentylene glycol
Water
Sodium benzoate
Methyl parahydroxybenzoate
Sorbic acid
From this extremely concise composition table, we can see how confident SK-II is about its patented ingredient pitera. Because in addition to it and water, butanediol and pentanediol are just moisturizers, and the remaining three are just preservatives. Therefore, whether fairy water is a legend or a gimmick depends on pitera.
What is pitera?
According to the most scientific explanation, pitera is the extract of sake yeast fermentation, mainly composed of small molecule amino acids, several water-soluble vitamins, a few mineral elements and carbohydrate mucus.
In principle, these ingredients contained in pitera are good for skin health, and they can be combined to improve skin health. This is the magic of natural extracts, unlike a single chemical component, a component can only play a specific role. Therefore, the immortal water's saying 'from now on, rewrite your skin's destiny' is not all boasting. Is the white and red skin's healthy state a rewriting of your destiny?
Suitable population
Like most skin care products, sometimes it's not the product itself, it's just not for you. The same is true of fairy water. Because the main ingredient pitera is still a yeast ingredient, it is inevitable that it will accelerate the exfoliation of old and waste cutin to a certain extent. In addition, with the addition of three antiseptic ingredients, sensitive skin still needs to choose carefully.
In addition, as moisturizers, butanediol and pentanediol work by combining moisture and helping the skin catch water. However, small molecule alcohols can take away water from the skin faster because of their fast volatilization speed. Therefore, their moisturizing ability is not high. Sometimes their function is to help dissolve dirt and help active ingredients penetrate. So dry skin fairy water as a simple moisturizing make-up water to use, but will get twice the result with half the effort.
Therefore, after the elimination method, combined with the main effect of pitera to promote skin metabolism, fairy water is more suitable for oily and mixed oily mature skin, and its effect is not to make you beautiful overnight, but if you are the right skin type and insist on using it, it should not be difficult to get a stable and healthy skin.
Refutation of the rumor about 'dependence'
I just want to say that it's totally nonsense to say that the fairy water on the Internet is dependent. If you are looking forward to a skin care product that only one bottle can make your skin better for a lifetime, then I can only say that you are dreaming.
Albion health water
Olbin's health water is a must-have for me all the year round. It's also the top selling cosmetic water in Japan. On average, one bottle is sold every 13 seconds. In this respect, even SK-II is far behind. However, what you may not know is that there are many important allergenic ingredients in this health water. You'd better look at the ingredients first to buy or not.
component
Water, ethanol, butanediol, coix seed, European chestnut seed extract, Sichuan Valley seed extract, glycyrrhizic acid two a, glutathione, Hamamelis extract, crepe carrageenan, menthol, PEG-60 hydrogen peroxide castor oil, sorbitan seseloleate, hydroxybenzoate, hydroxybenzyl ester, hydroxypropyl ester, and essence.
And fairy water, this formula is quite conscientious, in the toner added a lot of natural extracts, also really worthy of the title of health water.
Job's Tears -- whitening and moisturizing
European Aesculus seed extract improves blood circulation and accelerates metabolism
Sichuan millet seed extract -- whitening and soothing
Dimethyl glycyrrhizinate - anti inflammatory
Hamamelis extract -- astringent pores
Crepe carrageenin -- the nickname "seaweed moisturizing essence"
It is not difficult to see that, in addition to the most basic water supplement, several ingredients are emphasizing the effects of convergence, anti inflammation and relaxation. In addition, European Aesculus seed extract can accelerate the metabolism. The biggest effect of healthy water is to improve the unhealthy skin condition and promote the healthy growth of new skin. Through alcohol sterilization, glycyrrhizic acid dimethyl anti-inflammatory, Hamamelis astringent, Sichuan millet seed soothing, with Aesculus Aesculus seed to accelerate metabolism, since then complete a complete 'get rid of the old and welcome the new' cycle.
The rest of the ingredients: alcohol - that is, alcohol, sterilization, anti-inflammatory, astringent pores
Glutathione -- antioxidant
Butanediol -- Moisturizer
PEG-60 hydrogenated castor oil -- solubilizer
Sorbitan sesqui oleate -- emulsifier
Ethyl hydroxybenzoate, methyl hydroxybenzoate, propyl hydroxybenzoate -- preservative, high irritation
Compared with the above healthy natural ingredients, there are also many stimulating ingredients. The first thing to bear the brunt is the alcohol content in the whole make-up water, which is second only to water.
Generally speaking, I don't have any preconceptions about alcohol. On the contrary, I highly praise its function in sterilization, anti-inflammatory and pore astringency. As long as you are not allergic to alcohol and don't use it in large quantities, it won't do any harm. However, the problem is that alcohol in healthy water ranks second in the composition table, which means that its content is next only to water, which is so much that people have to worry about it. Therefore, it should be used with caution for sensitive and dry skin, and it is not recommended to use oily skin and mixed oil frequently.
More worrying than alcohol is the preservatives in this toner. Hydroxybenzoates are highly irritant preservatives, so we should be alert when we see skin care products. What's more, this bottle is still a mixture of ethyl hydroxybenzoate, methyl hydroxybenzoate and propyl hydroxybenzoate, so its allergenicity and irritation are even more worrying.
summary
All in all, healthy water is more suitable for emergency treatment. Through continuous use in a certain period of time, the condition of skin is adjusted from unhealthy to healthy, and face dressing is more effective than simply facial cleaning. Because of the obvious irritation, it is not recommended for long-term maintenance, and it is not suitable for sensitive skin. And because it contains a lot of alcohol, it is not recommended for dry skin.
Color Decorte perilla water
Daike's perilla water is a high-performance make-up water which has been popular for nearly two years. Its formula is similar to that of health water. It also follows the route of natural ingredients extraction and alcohol. Its effect is also calm and soothing. Many people with acne say that the effect is obvious.
component
Like health water, there are also many natural ingredients extracted, but there is no mild exfoliating ingredients, so it is a little chicken ribs compared with health water.
Rosemary -- convergence
Betaine -- Moisturizing
Extraction of perilla leaves -- whitening and antioxidation
Salvia -- astringent, sedative, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant
Extraction of thyme -- antibacterial
Other ingredients:
water
Alcohol -- alcohol, anti-inflammatory sterilization, astringent pores
Butanediol -- Moisturizing
Glycerin - Moisturizing
Clove -- spice
Hydrolyzed hyaluronic acid -- Moisturizing
Linoleic acid -- softener
Ethylenediamine tetraethyl disodium preservative
Disodium phosphate, sodium dihydrogen phosphate -- pH regulator
Ppg-6-decyltetradecanol polyether-20 -- emulsifier
Methyl benzoate -- preservative
Compared with healthy water, it has the advantages of relatively mild selection of emulsifiers and preservatives, and relatively less skin irritation. It's said that your skin is more sensitive than water, so please use it with caution. As for the dry skin, which is mainly for moisturizing, you can also make a detour. Although there is no lack of moisturizing ingredients in this make-up lotion, such a high content of alcohol will quickly take away the moisture from the face, but the effect is not worth the loss.
summary
As mentioned above, only from the composition point of view, the existence of Perilla water is slightly weak, especially on the basis of healthy water. The two ingredients are almost the same, and the main effect is also reflected in calming and soothing the skin, which may have a very slow and not obvious whitening effect.
But even if all aspects are almost the same, health water has invincible popularity and champion sales to do endorsements. So to sum up, if you are really worried about the preservatives in healthy water, it is not impossible to change the Perilla water.
Write at the end
Having said so much, there are actually three sentences to sum up
1、 In fact, three kinds of hall level make-up lotion are all made for mixed oil and oil skin, dry skin and sensitive skin are useless;
2、 In addition to fairy water can be used as daily routine, health water and perilla water are not recommended for long-term continuous use because they contain a lot of alcohol;
3、 However, if you happen to have a bad skin condition recently, such as acne, redness, oil production, and coarse pores, you will find that your skin has been miraculously cured after a period of centralized use. This is also the biggest function of these two kinds of make-up water - emergency.
