I have read about face creams etc but it’s very difficult to identify the truth from the marketing. From what I can tell, the whole industry is nonsense and preys mostly on insecure women. It seems like there is no way to prove it since if the results are less than expected, the reply would be “imagine how much worse it could have been.” Maybe too many questions but is there any correlation between cost and effectiveness?

Hydrolyzed collagen is used to blur small lines and wrinkles. It’s too big to sink into the skin, but it can act as a texturizer on top of the skin.
Some powerful humectants like hyaluronic acid and snow mushroom can cause the skin cells to plump up with water temporarily. Sometimes this can help with the appearance of wrinkles.
Somethings like AHAs / niacinamide / allantoin can increase exfoliation of dull outer skin, revealing the fresher, younger looking skin underneath.
There are also some peptides which can act as signaling agents to boost production of collagen and elastin, although I’ve always been a little skeptical of these
