Skin care is one big scam
Buy this product, buy that product, this "cleanser" just lol.
All these women with 10 step skin care and spend thousaunds in skin care yearly have worse skin than someone who doesnt do fuck all.
Tell me how putting man made chemicals will "cleanse" your skin. Why would you even need to clean your skin. As if soap will prevent any "pimples". Ive uses water all my life. Never used a facial cleanser. Its all juice scam.
They even have like "toners" which is supposed to "prep" your skin before you put a certain lotion. Basically they want to sell you as much juice products as possible.

So soaps act like a surfactant. And will allow water and fats to mix, which they normally don't. This also allows the dirt and dead skin to be removed from your body. This is how man made chemicals cleanse your skin.
When it comes your time to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with the fear of death, so that when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way. Sing your death song and die like a hero going home.

Vitamin A derivatives like Tretinoin increase skin cell turnover so the skin is always “fresher” in theory this should improve the skins texture and evenness.
Then micro injuries - which can be anything from Microneedling to chemical peels is meant to cause your body to produce collagen which thickens the dermis and again should improve fine lines and wrinkles
The only issue I have is that a lot of the research I’ve seen on skincare uses a sample of people with medical conditions like severe acne or rosacea … I haven’t seen any robust RCTs where cosmetic or aesthetic improvements are measured for a normal population and even with the studies that treat someone with a medical issue the studies are often industry funded and the outcome is “a global assessment score” which is completely qualitative and based on a dermatologist’s opinion.
Now the two broad categories of treatments I mentioned earlier do show collagen induction and cellular turnover on a microscopic level via biopsy measurements but I’m not sure that translates to any meaningful improvement in appearance.
I’ve been using retin a for 5 months and look the same but perhaps the goal is slowing down the aging process and not necessarily improvement.
To your point about over the counter topicals I would agree these are completely cope.

I agree with OP on this. There might be some exceptions for certain situations but for the most part, IMO, over the counter chemicals arent going to change the things people want to change about their skin. And your skin doesnt need to be any 'cleaner' than however clean water and steam in a warm shower will get it.

But IMO the various creams and home-applications people use on a daily basis are mostly dubious.
Of course it helps to moisturize generally if youre prone to dry skin. But I'm not sold on elaborate and pricey treatments where first you apply this 50 dollar lotion then you apply that 40 dollar finisher etc. I think a lot of people are getting ripped off with that stuff.
