Beauty Tips For Body Care
I really like the brand Geek&Gorgeous, they have great exfoliants, a 0.05% Retinaldehyde and a 15% Ascorbic Acid Serum, everything for very affordable prices. Recently Geek&Gorgeous changed the name of their 20% Azelaic Acid derivative serum, because it didn't contain 20% of the derivative, but it contained 20% of the tradename mixture Azeclair. And this mixture is not pure Potassium Azeloyl Diglycinate. Luckily Geek&Gorgeous never wanted to betray us and have changed their product, so it now says in the description it contains 20% of the mixture, and 6% actual Potassium Azeloyl Diglycinate:https://geekandgorgeous.com/pages/_the-apad-name-changeUnfortunately not all brands are this transparent. When buying a product it can be difficult to know for sure wether the company refers to a tradename mixture or to the actual active. I recently posted about some retinol products:M.Asam Retinol 1% Intense, which actually contains 0.08% retinolInkey List 1% Retinol, which actually contains 0.05% retinolSunday Riley 6.5% Retinoid serum, with probably contains at most 0.7% actual retinoid contentSkin Nobel with 4.5% Retinol, while the 10% Granactive Retinoid is listed below Retinol....When I saw this article by Geek&Gorgeous, I just wanted to remind everyone how easy it is to list percentages on packaging that actually do not refer to the pure active. I mean for some of The Inkey List products it's clear the percentage doesn't refer to the pure active, and I see so many 2.5% retinol products on the market where I simply have zero confidence there's actually 2.5% pure retinol.So yeah, please be critical, when you see high percentages of an ingredient, much higher than everyone else, or much higher than the supplier suggested percentage range, it could be possible the percentage doesn't refer to the actual pure active. I hope more companies will be a bit more transparent about this.
