Skincare products you do not require according to dermatologist
"Not every skincare product deserves a spot on your shelf! Here are 3 super unnecessary products you can skip," Dr. Bhatia wrote in the caption of the video.
1. Very expensive moisturiser:
"The ingredients are more important than the price," said Dr. Bhatia. She has also mentioned one should look for key ingredients and those are:
- Hyaluronic acid
- Ceramides
- Pentavitin
2. Gentle wipes
"They are convenient but at what cost," mentioned the dermatologist. She explained that even the most gentle wipes can strip the natural barrier of your skin, leaving it wrinkled, red and irritated. Plus, they are super unfriendly to the environment.
3. Topical collagen
"It is not going to be effective because the particles are too large to penetrate your skin's surface. Instead, choose products that increase your collagen synthesis like retinols or peptides," the expert said.
