Wrong bees
The first reason, it is also the main one: the care is not chosen correctly. The most common misconception is the incorrect determination of the type of skin (for example, dehydrated skin is stubbornly mistaken for dry, and is also persistently smeared with a nourishing cream, not attaching importance to either enlarged pores or oily sheen). If there are no opportunities to independently distinguish between the type and condition of the skin, you should contact a professional. The type of skin does not change so often (it is caused by genetics and can be shaken only after powerful hormonal surges), so one visit to a beautician will help you navigate the choice of funds for the next few years.
If the cream dries a lot, the skin “lacks” it, perhaps a texture for problem skin has been chosen, or the formula is not moisturizing enough. If the skin, on the other hand, is shiny, the cream forms a film or stubbornly causes acne - most likely, an oil-based composition was chosen that is not intended for normal to combination skin.
It's not about you, it's about me
Individual intolerance to the components of the product is a rare but common occurrence. This is not a true allergy (unless, of course, a hypoallergenic or already familiar brand was chosen), but an individual hypersensitivity to one of the substances in the composition (not necessarily allergenic). This condition is unpredictable, it can spontaneously appear and disappear (for example, a favorite care can cause a reaction after several years of use). Allergies are more widespread and predictable: for example, everyone who does not tolerate bee products will react to cream with honey, and the list of potential allergens is well studied.
There is only one way to correct this condition: by canceling the product. After a few weeks, the product can be given a second chance: either the phenomena will pass, or it will become clear that it is better to give the jar to a friend
From extreme to extreme
It's not worth using one cream all your life, but changing the product every day is even more dangerous: too much variety leads to the fact that the skin becomes hypersensitive and reacts to any agent that touches it. Beginning cosmetologists and cosmetic consultants are well aware of such a phenomenon: having "seized" the assortment, they begin to try something new every day and smear all the best on themselves at once. As a result, intolerance to almost everything develops, and picking up at least one cream becomes a rather difficult task.
If the product is suitable, there is no need to alternate it, you can use your favorite cream for several years in a row. But when the condition of the skin changes, care needs to be revised. In any case, it makes sense to try a new product after 2-3 months of using the usual care (for a shorter period, it simply will not show its effectiveness in any way).
Something went wrong
Incorrect use of the highest quality cream will lead to the fact that the product will at least not work and, at the most, will cause a negative reaction. The fearless Russian woman is able to use a harsh scrub daily or apply a super-intense face serum under her eyes in her pursuit of beauty. Avoiding such phenomena can be very simple: read the instructions. For extreme cases, most large cosmetic companies have a hotline phone, where a consultant on the shelves will lay out the rules of use for you if you could not figure it out on your own. We want to warn you that the reflections “what will happen, the eyes are also on the face, and the face cream will come off, the composition seems to be the same” are incorrect. Equally written composition is not always the same in practice, because only the order of the components can be similar, but not their percentage
Oops!
It is the rarest - counterfeit. Cosmetics in the pharmacy segment are very rarely counterfeited (they cannot be sold later, because the distribution channel is very complicated). If you buy care from well-known drugstore chains, the risk tends to zero.
