I do not know what skin care product you are talkin about. Nor do I know of any skincare products that work by putting chemicals into the bloodstream itself.

But of course, there are a lot of chemicals that can be absorbed through the skin. And this takes a little bit of time because the chemical has to physically move through the skin and into the capillaries, where it it has to be pumped around the body. 26 seconds is a very short timeframe for that to happen, but it is possible if you are talkin about very easily absorbed chemicals or chemicals that have help from something like DMSO which increases the rate of absorption.
