With a variety of skincare products on the market and a rise in 'dupes', how does everyone decide which ones are high quality?
What are the signs of 'High Quality' when shopping for skincare?
How do you know if a product is worth buying, especially when there’s such a wide range of prices and new ingredients being introduced?

Brand name make a huge difference in quality

Quality means it works whether it's a budget product or the most expensive. I have real sensitive skin and will only buy products where I have been able to buy or get give a smaller sampler. Quality products , natural products all can have a reaction to sensitive skin. Samples are my greatest reliable test.

Professional recommendation from my cosmetic doctor. He has never steered me wrong. I also look for independent reviews.

A lot of skin care products are what is causing your health problems later on in life. Not to mention sunscreen is dangerous.

My daughter is pretty clued up on ingredients, and advises me on what to use, though I don't always follow her complicated advice & regimen.
That being said, she has been disappointed a few times after buying costly brands, depite doing lots of research & reading many reviews.
These days, high end cosmetic retailers have become all the rage amongst the young. They pay really high prices for products. I would love to be around in 40 years to see what the results are.
Ultimately texture matters to me. I do not want to feel sweaty & oily which some high end brands & most drug store brands make me feel. I also want a simple routine....not lots of steps, taking up a great deal of time. Wash; tone & moisturise does it for me, so I select good quality items that make my skin feel comfortable. I stick with a few brands that I like (these do happen to be expensive, but I have not found similar in drug store brands). A good mask and treatment in between supplements my routine.
Ingredients are always being hyped up. Everyday there's something new & trending until the next one comes along.
That being said, some are great, and we need to read up on the percentage included in each brand. We need to educate ourselves on what works for specific skin; the source of these ingredients & any side effects.
Ultimately though, prevention is better than cure. We have to eat right; keep off tobacco & alcohol & away from the sun. There's only so much that 'Quality' skincare can repair.

I've been using Lacura, Aldi's own brand, day and night creams, eye serums, etc, for the price and quality much like Olay, etc. but so much cheaper.

With so much marketing hype out there, and so many bold promises being made, it’s hard to know which skincare products you can trust. We’ve all experienced the frustration, and, at times, crushing disappointment, of splashing out on a beauty product that has promised exceptional results only to find that it was all talk and no real
results. I always check the ingredients on the package, only buy natural products with great reviews, yes they all have to be great. I dont buy any skincare i used to buy before unless they are made from natural and clean ingredients. It will come as no surprise that a skincare product, no matter how well marketed, is only as good as it’s ingredients. So, that’s where we should all start!

For me quality is the size of products how many mls in a bottle and of the mls what's are the main ingredients. Is it chemical or water or aloe vera. I determine quality by brand reputation as well. Do they have good values eg test on animals, clean ingredients? I also determine by price of mls 100mls for $ isn't something that would be good quality most of the time.

Natural ingredients that work! Although some brands are far too expensive and so many tween kids are trying to purchase them at too young an age.

I can't use sunscreen I'm allergic to the SPF chemicals. I get extremely itchy and then get a rash, so now the only time I go outside is if I have no choice like putting the bins out and driving to the Doctors or food shopping

Quality means which really effects on skin

I think quality matters but for skin care I would rather go to natural products for example for removing dark spots with turmeric, coffee, yoghurt make a paste and rub once in week . Then moisturise . For hair use Rosemarie herb boil it in water use that water if you don’t have allergies in your hairs twice a week . Always try on a patch before whole procedure. Drink plenty of water . Walk 30 minutes. Me time . Talk to your favourite people . Ignore negative energy people.

When selecting skincare products, I recommend focusing on a few key indicators. High-quality products tend to have reputable, transparent brands that clearly list ingredients, ensuring safety and effectiveness. Look for clinical trials, dermatologist recommendations, and certifications such as cruelty-free or eco-friendly, which are excellent signs of quality.
When shopping for skincare, high-quality products typically contain active ingredients with proven benefits, such as hyaluronic acid, retinol, or vitamin C. Consistency in texture, packaging that preserves the product’s efficacy, and a track record of customer satisfaction are also important.
As for pricing, higher cost doesn’t always mean higher quality. It’s about finding products with a balance between effective ingredients and those that suit your skin type. For me, quality means delivering results while respecting the skin’s health, with formulations that truly nourish and protect.

i try to look for more natural and less chemicals in my products - i have also moved to a product that my Dr recommended. I also look for the words hypo allergenic and non comodogenic which means safe for sensitive skin and won't block pores.
