Is HomeFacialPro useful? Is this niche Chinese product recommended by countless people worth buying?

I wonder if fairies have this feeling about popular online celebrity products: they are actually quite tempted by the advertisements, but feel empty when seeing so many people recommending them. I don’t know if this is a conscientious recommendation or a trick…

Niacinamide stock solution

Advantages: 10% has a miraculous effect on fading acne marks

Disadvantages: 2% may not be effective for people with very fair skin

Recommendation index: ★★★☆☆

Niacinamide: The most famous whitening ingredient is probably niacinamide. The magic of niacinamide lies in that it can effectively block 40% of melanin deposition, and has a good whitening and lightening effect on dull skin, yellowing, and acne spots.

It said that it can quickly whiten your skin, so I bought a 2% concentration to try it out. After using more than half a bottle, my skin tone did become a little whiter, but not very obviously (I’m not dark-skinned, hahaha).

The 10% concentration bottle was given to me by my younger cousin. She has good skin except for acne scars. One day she strongly recommended this essence to me, saying that after using it for half a month, the acne scars had faded, and she told me to try it.

Tips: For people with fair skin, the effect of 2% is not very obvious, but if it is your first time using niacinamide, it is recommended to start with this concentration to help build tolerance; 10% is great for removing acne scars! For those who are tolerant to niacinamide, this product is very cost-effective.

One more thing, babies with sensitive skin must do a test on the inside of the elbow first to make sure they can tolerate it before using it.

Advantages: Amazing hydration, can reduce powder floating and peeling.

Disadvantages: The skin feel is average when used alone, and it will be sticky for oily skin.

Recommendation index: ★★★★☆

Hyaluronic acid (sodium hyaluronate): The famous hyaluronic acid is an excellent moisturizer. It is the best moisturizing substance discovered in nature and is known as the ideal natural moisturizing factor.

First of all, I have to criticize this product. It feels a bit sticky when applied on the face, but fortunately it is absorbed fairly quickly.

In the moisture test, the skin's moisture content can be increased by more than 40% after using the hyaluronic acid stock solution. To test its moisturizing properties, I stayed in an air-conditioned room for 3 hours without applying any other moisturizing products. My face didn't feel dry, and the T-zone, which is usually prone to oiliness, was still refreshed.

Last winter, I mistakenly bought a relatively dry foundation and almost left it unused. Later, I remembered the mix-and-match usage of hyaluronic acid, so I put two drops of hyaluronic acid on it, and the makeup really adhered much better!

Now I am used to carrying it with me when I go out. If I encounter embarrassing situations like powder floating and peeling, I can take it out and apply it at any time. It is also very convenient for touching up makeup and quite practical.

Advantages: It works quickly and effectively on broken acne.

Disadvantages: The skin feels a little dry, and a moisturizing primer is needed afterwards.

Recommendation index: ★★★★☆

Oligopeptide (EGF): Many people may be unfamiliar with this ingredient, but it is the only "scar removal" ingredient in the beauty industry that has won the Nobel Prize. If you want smooth and tender skin, EGF is the right choice.

The company's introduction and netizens' comments all say that this bottle of essence is effective in removing acne quickly. I took a pH test paper to test it before using it, and the acidity and alkalinity were around 5.5-6, which is very mild.

I originally bought it to get rid of my closed comedones, but the effect was so slow that I felt it was useless. Later, I tried using it on broken pimples, and the healing speed was much faster. It was basically effective after just one night’s sleep. The effect was amazing.

I also recommended this product to a friend with acne-prone skin. After using it, her acne really disappeared a lot. Now she has become a die-hard fan of the oligopeptide essence. In general, oligopeptides are good news for acne-prone skin, so you can try it if you are prone to acne.

Tips: Use it on broken acne, it will get rid of the acne quickly! It's basically useless for closed comedones.
