Repetitive Skin Care Products

Okay I know this may sound a little controversial but hear me out on this one. Different brands have been producing the same product with the same active ingredient/s (e.g. Cica, Hyaluronic Acid, Niacinamide and etc.), and it’s not a bad thing, however, it’s repetitive and I feel like brands only do this just to hop on a trending skincare ingredient. I want to see some underrated skin care ingredient like Snow Mushroom, Cotton Fruit extract, and Pear fruit extract (Tagging my favorite products with their corresponding star ingredient). Now there are reasons why people stick with the popular skin care ingredient/s. 1. It works on their skin type 2. It has been backed up by dermatologists/estheticians 3. Availability of that certain ingredient Although it’s fun and refreshing to see some unfamiliar ingredients on a skin care product, we still have to be cautious and do our own research so we can have knowledge on these new skin care ingredients. I’m interested on what ingredients are going to be taking over the skin care community soon.

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.

I agree, that’s why I pointed out that we should do our own research to see if it’s actually worth it or not.

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.
