The difference between the little black bottle and the little brown bottle. Which one to choose depends on whether it is suitable for your skin.

Many girls are confused about the choice between the Little Black Bottle Essence and the Little Brown Bottle Essence. The core ingredients of these two products are the same, so what is the difference between the Little Black Bottle and the Little Brown Bottle? Which is better, Estee Lauder's Little Brown Bottle or Lancome's Little Black Bottle? Here's how to choose~

The difference between the texture of the little black bottle and the little brown bottle

The texture of Lancome's Little Black Bottle is light and refreshing, coming and going like the wind, and it is completely burden-free for oily skin to use. At the same time, the viscosity of the little black bottle is higher than that of ordinary essences, giving people a more nutritious feeling. The texture of Estee Lauder's Little Brown Bottle is also very attractive. When squeezed out, it produces a brown viscous liquid that is quickly absorbed when applied to the skin, with basically no discomfort. But don't use too much, just use the right amount each time.

The difference between the black bottle and the brown bottle

Little Black Bottle

Lancome's official propaganda is that it can improve dryness, roughness, and fine lines, but after actually using it for a period of time, you will find that fine lines are still difficult to improve (unless you want to prevent possible dry lines), because wrinkles are caused by the loss of collagen in the dermis and the breakage of collagen fibers due to frequent muscle movement, and the ingredients in the little black bottle cannot penetrate the surface skin to exert their effects. After using it for a period of time, many girls feel that the most profound effect of the little black bottle is that it can improve rough skin .

Little brown bottle

Although the little brown bottle has been rumored to have many benefits online (repair, firming, improving skin tone, fading fine lines, moisturizing, etc.), when you actually use the little brown bottle for a period of time, the biggest feeling you get is still stabilization and moisturizing . The other feelings are not very obvious.

The difference between the black bottle and the brown bottle in terms of skin types

Little Black Bottle

The little black bottle is suitable for oily skin, but not so suitable for dry skin and sensitive skin. Because the little black bottle contains acidic whitening ingredients that slightly exfoliate and alcohol that promotes penetration, it is somewhat irritating to thin skin. Therefore, people with sensitive thin skin are best to avoid it. The alcohol added to the Little Black Bottle can greatly enhance the refreshing feeling when used, so this essence is more suitable for girls with oily skin.

Little brown bottle

Since the little brown bottle contains a lot of moisturizing ingredients, it feels a little thick when used and is more suitable for dry to normal skin . But in terms of the applicable age, it will be difficult for young and strong skin to feel its benefits, so it is more recommended for mature skin (around 25 years old and up). It is also more suitable for people who often sit in front of the computer, stay up late, and need to fight against early aging. However, if wrinkles have already formed and you want to use the little brown bottle to remove them, it won’t be very effective.

Little Black Bottle

The main ingredient of the Little Black Bottle is the lysate of bifid yeast fermentation product. The Little Black Bottle added this lysate to learn from the Little Brown Bottle, so it borrowed from this excellent ingredient.

Ranked fourth on the ingredient list is denatured ethanol, which has the same function as ethanol (alcohol) in that it helps other active substances penetrate the skin more easily and also has a certain astringent effect . Many girls feel that the black bottle is absorbed very quickly, and it is precisely the deformed ethanol that acts as a penetration enhancer.

The ingredient following denatured ethanol is hydroxyethylpiperazine ethane sulfonic acid, which has the effect of softening keratin , so the official claim of " improving rough skin texture " is also tenable.

Little brown bottle

The core ingredient is also the lysate of bifid yeast fermentation product. Its composition is extremely complex (including B vitamins, minerals, amino acids and other active ingredients). Although its mechanism of action is still unknown, it can achieve anti-oxidation, whitening, repairing and nourishing the skin in one step. Precisely because the Little Brown Bottle was the first skin care product to use the lysate of bifid yeast fermentation product as a skin care ingredient, it became popular in the skin care industry as soon as it was launched.

In addition to the main ingredient, bifida yeast fermentation product lysate, the Little Brown Bottle also adds Sudan cola nut purple extract, caffeine and sodium RNA to enhance cell activity, which can improve the skin's metabolic capacity and accelerate self-repair.

In order to protect active ingredients such as caffeine, Estee Lauder made the bottle into a light-blocking brown bottle and added a small amount of sunscreen (ethylhexyl methoxycinnamate) to the ingredients. This sunscreen is added to reduce the damage of light to the active ingredients (it is not for you to use for sun protection), which can be said to be very considerate.
