“Expensive cosmetics vs. dermatological procedures, which was more effective?”

I've been having a lot of skin concerns lately, so I've been trying all sorts of things, and suddenly I got curious.

Whether expensive cosmetics are more effective, or if dermatological procedures are definitely better.

 

I used to consistently use quite expensive lines of functional cosmetics.

I definitely felt my skin texture becoming a little softer and more moisturized, but

I didn't notice any significant changes in areas like blemishes or elasticity.

 

Instead, it felt like I was taking consistent care of it, so I think it helped maintain my basic skin condition.

 

Conversely, when you have received laser treatments or procedures at a dermatology clinic

There were definitely visible changes in the short term.

 

I was very satisfied because I felt my skin tone becoming clearer and my elasticity returning slightly.

However, the cost is a burden, and since it feels like I need to receive it consistently to maintain the results, I am hesitant.

 

Ultimately, it seems both have pros and cons. Which one did you find more effective?

 

Whether it is better to consistently use expensive cosmetics,

Or I'm wondering if dermatological procedures are definitely effective! Please share your experiences in the comments 🙏
