Skincare is expensive.
And you can never tell if it is working.

With millions of products on the market and each one promising results in "4 to 6 weeks," consumers are left guessing. You stare at your face in the mirror every day, trying to decide if anything has changed. Is that product working, or is it just the placebo effect? Most people never find out. They just keep spending.
