.. it’s not absorbed well if it’s massaged.. let’s say horizontally?

The skin on your face is more delicate than the rest of your body. Supposedly rubbing upwards will prevent damage and wrinkles.
Or else it gets the hose again.
Horizontal or vertical massage is less likely to spread evenly, also the massaging itself is beneficial (potentially more beneficial than the cream, some studies have suggested its daily massage thay actually helps the skin long term not the cream at all).
Cosmetics are largely unregulated. It’s good for cosmetic companies to create rituals that make it seem more scientific AND give the user some ownership in the process.
Didn’t work? Maybe you applied it incorrectly.

If you looked at the cross section of human skin under a microscope you would see that it’s not flat, but full of tiny irregular grooves. Circular motions allow skincare products to affect the skin from all sides and ensure the best absorption.
The upward motion is to counter wrinkles. If you pull down on the skin to apply, overtime you’ll worsen wrinkles and cause droopy skin on the face. That’s my limited understanding of it.
You don’t want to pull down the skin on your face every day
Has nothing to do with absorption.
You’re not. The way to do it is to squeeze a bit more than you need into the palm of one hand, roughly rub your hands together and then vigorously rub your face, periodically looking in the mirror until it’s rubbed in. If after 3 tries there is still too much, declare it ‘good enough’ and rub your hands on your shirt as you walk out of the bathroom. Vastly superior methodology to rubbing in small circular motions.
