How is L'Oreal's small honey pot cream? What are the effects of L'Oreal's small honey pot cream?

L'Oreal's Mini Honey Pot Cream is a moisturizing cream recommended by many people. L'Oreal's Mini Honey Pot Cream is very good in terms of texture, skin feel and efficacy. The main effect of L'Oreal's Mini Honey Pot Cream is anti-aging.

This cream is a new product in the L'Oréal Paris Gold Series, the top-of-the-line product among all the products of L'Oréal Paris. This mask uses ingredients from its thousands of yuan creams, among which the most conspicuous ingredient is phosphene. Sisters who know the ingredients should know that this ingredient is an anti-aging ingredient. It is said that the concentration of this ingredient is the same as other thousands of yuan models, but this cream is only 350 yuan/50ml, so it has been popular since it came out not long ago! This bottle of cream takes the anti-aging + moisturizing integrated skin care idea. In terms of anti-aging, it relies on tetrapeptides + phosphene to enhance skin firmness, improve skin elasticity, and improve fine lines. Manuka nectar helps to improve skin moisture, brighten skin tone, and solve seasonal dryness problems. One bottle of multi-purpose simplifies the skin care process to avoid excessive skin care in winter with three layers of paste inside and outside, which will cause other skin problems. It's really great. Finally, I want to say that this cream is not only effective, but also has a good skin feel. It has a smooth and easy-to-absorb cheese texture and is easy to spread! It can be absorbed after a gentle massage, but it is not greasy at all! It can be used by both dry and oily skin. If you have a lot of skin problems and need to improve your skin quality quickly, it is recommended to use it together with the ampoule essence in the series, and the effect will be even better. After using it for seven consecutive days, you can clearly feel that your skin quality has improved a lot.

L'Oreal's "Little Honey Pot" has a great skin feel and a good experience, even comparable to some high-end brands. The moisturizing oils used are pretty good and can nourish the skin. But when it comes to anti-aging and wrinkle removal, it is not very strong, and the core anti-aging ingredients are not added in sufficient quantities. If you want to rely on this cream for anti-aging and wrinkle removal alone, you may be disappointed. You can try it as an anti-aging cream for daily care, or use it with other more effective essences.

L'Oreal Honey Pot Ingredients

Let's first look at the formula structure of the "Little Honey Pot". It uses a variety of emulsifiers, oils and thickeners, and has made a lot of efforts to improve the skin feel. In terms of moisturizing, a variety of oils of different properties are matched to complement each other. The largest amount added is: hydrogenated polyisobutene. Many friends don't know much about this ingredient, but if you say squalane, most people should have heard of it. It is an excellent moisturizing ingredient. Hydrogenated polyisobutene is also known as synthetic squalane. Its properties are similar to those of natural squalane. It has good penetration and is moisturizing and non-greasy. It is an excellent moisturizing oil. Other oils added in large amounts include: polydimethylsiloxane, avocado tree butter, and white pond flower seed oil. Polydimethylsiloxane can provide a smooth skin feel, so that the cream will not be greasy and heavy. Avocado tree butter and white pond flower seed oil are plant oils, which have good compatibility with the skin and can deeply nourish the skin. "Bis-behenyl alcohol/isostearyl alcohol/phytosteryl dimer linoleyl dimer linoleate" is mainly used as an emulsifier stabilizer, which has the effect of moisturizing and thickening. The water-soluble moisturizing ingredients are mainly glycerin and panthenol, which are not very outstanding, but they are enough. The "small honey pot" formula structure makes this cream a bit thick, but not sticky, nor greasy and heavy, and the moisturizing degree is medium. It can be used for medium-dry skin and combination skin. However, in particularly dry and cold areas and seasons, dry skin alone is not moisturizing enough, and the moisturizing degree is not enough, and other products need to be superimposed to cooperate. After analyzing the formula structure and moisturizing ingredients, let's look at the core functional ingredients of this cream, which are mainly: hydroxypropyl tetrahydropyrantriol, acetyl tetrapeptide-9, honey extract, royal jelly, and honey. Hydroxypropyl tetrahydropyrantriol (bosine) is the ace anti-aging ingredient of the L'Oreal Group. As long as it is an anti-aging and anti-wrinkle product, some will be added. "Proteoglycan" can promote the synthesis of "proteoglycan", make the skin full and plump, maintain skin elasticity, prevent skin sagging and aging, and also has a certain repair effect on damaged skin. Many anti-aging products of L'Oreal Group's brands: Lancome, SkinCeuticals, and L'Oreal use this ingredient, with the highest addition amount being 30%. In this cream, "Protein" is not ranked high, and the estimated addition amount is between 2-5%. This addition amount has an effect on the skin, but it is not very strong. If you are particularly looking forward to the role of "Protein", it is not the best choice.

The second core ingredient of the cream is acetyl tetrapeptide-9, which is an anti-aging peptide ingredient. It can stimulate the synthesis of human "basement membrane polysaccharide" and act on collagen I, promote dermal remodeling, tighten and plump the skin, increase the skin's moisture content, and achieve anti-aging and wrinkle removal. The amount of acetyl tetrapeptide-9 added does not need to be too much, and the concentration is usually 0.1%. Let's look at the amount of "honey pot". Acetyl tetrapeptide-9, glycerol and water are added as a compound raw material, behind the preservative chlorphenesin. The maximum amount of this preservative is 0.3% as stipulated by the state. If L'Oreal does not deliberately disrupt the order of product ingredients, the amount of acetyl tetrapeptide-9 as a compound raw material should be less than 0.3%. If the dry weight is less than 0.3%, it is difficult to judge how much is added. If the compound addition is less than 0.3%, at least it can be judged that this ingredient is not added in sufficient amount. Zhen Yao thinks it is a regular addition, which is effective, but not very strong.

The third core functional ingredient is: honey extract, royal jelly, and honey. Regarding the role of honey extract, Zhen Yao made a detailed analysis in the article "Is Guerlain's "Imperial Bee Restoring Honey" a scam or a skin care product?" Honey extract, royal jelly, and honey have a wide range of functions, including moisturizing, anti-oxidation, antibacterial, and repairing, but the premise is that the amount added must reach the effective concentration. Although honey extract does not need to be added at a very high concentration to work, it is ranked last in the ingredient list of the "Little Honey Pot" and the amount added is very low. I doubt how much effect it can play. The "Little Honey Pot" also adds antioxidant ingredients such as ascorbyl palmitate and tocopherol, which are mainly brought in by compound raw materials. In order to prevent the oil from rancidity and deterioration, the amount added is not large, and the effect on the skin is limited. Let's talk about the appearance of the cream. Although the product is called "Little Honey Pot", the color of the paste has little to do with honey. The color of the cream is adjusted by a variety of pigments. The caramel color, CI 19140, and CI14700 in the ingredients are used to adjust the color of the cream.

What age is the L'Oreal Mini Pot suitable for?

This cream is the top-level L'Oreal Gold Series. You can't tell from the appearance that this is a cream that costs more than 300 yuan. It should cost at least 600 or 700 yuan. It can be said that the cost performance is very high. The most important thing is that the ingredients in this cream are absolutely "noble". In fact, the ingredients of many creams that cost more than 1,000 yuan may not be as good as this cream. This cream is more suitable for sisters after the age of 25, because the main effect of this cream is anti-aging, so it is more recommended for people over 25 years old who have anti-aging needs. This cream adds Manuka nectar from New Zealand. The nectar is usually used in skin care to not only moisturize the skin, but also make the skin more shiny and elastic. Then this cream also adds phosphine, tetrapeptide, and retinol, which are called the three anti-aging musketeers. Tetrapeptide can make loose collagen fit tightly, fade fine lines, and make the skin look fuller. This bottle of cream contains two star anti-aging products at once. It is not justified not to call it an anti-aging cream! This cream feels great on the skin. It is moisturizing and comfortable. After using it for a while, the skin will become more shiny and elastic. It really feels like a honey-glowing skin that is moisturized and smooth. The glossiness of the skin will improve, and the hands will feel very soft and smooth. For example, if the skin color is not very uniform, it feels good to improve it, and the overall skin condition will feel younger.
