I personally think it’s just harder for consumers to justify paying for a product that’s not as backed up by research in terms of results, for example the benefits of pear. Maybe pear is great at brightening, but I’d rather stick to something I know will do that 100% like Niacinamide or Vitamin C. But if it’s under $10, I’d definitely be willing to give more unique ingredients a try.

Lol yes even James Welsh talked about it. I'm From even have a Fig line and it feels like they just put fruit extracts on their products to sound nice. I would rather spend money on researched ingredients. And most reviews that I read about the pear line is just meh.

Cotton fruit extract/water is fairly new to me, I actually reviewed a brand that uses cotton fruit extract/water on their products 😅 it’s up on my Instagram if you want to check it out.

From a marketing point of view I think it makes more sense to formulate with ingredients that have been backed up by science, since most people will already be familiar and trusting with those. A brand may try to come up with uncommon ingredients in their formulations once they get trust and recognition from their customer base since they will have more chances of selling the product that way, rather than going for it with the first launch when they're not as established as a brand.

i actually like that different brands are coming up with products with the same active ingredient. So consumers have more choice based on their budget, availability and skintype.

Yes that too! As a consumer we get a chance to do a compare and contrast between the products.
