Skincare Boosters vs Skincare Products: Which Are Best?

Skincare boosters are specifically produced to target certain areas and effectively solve a skin problem, such as spots, wrinkles, uneven skin tone, or dry patches. 

The transition of seasons, changes in lifestyle, medication, or even where you live, can have an impact on your skin. There are many solutions available, such as moisturisers, serums, exfoliators, and cleansers, which can help fix any skin issues. These products can also be effective in helping you to maintain healthy skin. However, if you’ve tried various products and you’re still not achieving the results that you desire, then you may now be looking for other solutions, such as skincare boosters.

Since they actively target specific skin problems, you may find skincare boosters more beneficial to you than the usual products because the results gained can be more effective and longer-lasting. 

To help you understand a little more about what skincare boosters are, and the differences between them and other skincare products, we have put together a list of both their advantages and disadvantages below.

Skincare Boosters

There are different types of skincare boosters available. For example, there are booster drops and injectable booster treatments. Below, we have listed the advantages and disadvantages for each.

Skincare Boosters That Are Injectable:

Typically, boosters that are injected contain hyaluronic acid, which is a natural substance found in the body, such as in our skin and joints. 

Hyaluronic acid helps us to retain moisture in order for our skin to be hydrated and to keep joints lubricated, However, as we age, the natural production of hyaluronic acid can slow down, which can then cause our skin to become dry and lose some of its elasticity. 

By health professionals injecting skincare boosters deep into the skin, hyaluronic acid, which is a gel-like substance, can deeply hydrate the skin, helping it to regain elasticity and a renewed radiance. 

Advantages of injectable boosters:

• Contains a concentrated ingredient, or ingredients, specifically designed to target certain skin problems. 
• Skincare boosters can be done in conjunction with other injectable treatments at the same time.
• Results are usually visible within four weeks after the treatment.
• There will be a visible difference in your skin after one treatment.
• Skincare boosters can treat the face, hands, neck and decolletage.

Disadvantages of injectable boosters:

• Injectable boosters can be more expensive compared to other skincare products.
• There can be some side effects after an injection, such as some redness and/or swelling.

Skincare Booster Drops:

Skincare booster drops can be added to a serum, moisturiser or even foundation before applying it to your skin. 3-5 drops of the booster can deliver extra moisture to the skin, remove dark spots, or reduce fine lines and wrinkles, depending on the type of booster you are using.

Advantages of skincare booster drops:

• Booster drops can be added to a plain moisturiser to make it a supercharged aspect of your skincare routine.
• Contains a concentrated ingredient, or ingredients, specifically designed to target certain skin problems.
• You can choose the strength of your skincare booster, for example, the amount of drops you add to your skincare routine.

Disadvantages of skincare booster drops:

• Since the booster is added to your moisturiser, the ingredients of the booster are diluted, which means the results can take longer than they would by the injectable booster. 
• They can be expensive. Booster drops usually come in small bottles, so there is less product.

Skincare Products

“Skincare products” is a term used to refer to many types of skincare solutions, such as cleansers, toners, face oils, moisturisers, exfoliators, and anti-wrinkle cream. 

You may be wondering if you use too many products in your skincare routine; however, most skincare products are specifically designed to target certain areas and, ultimately, fix a specific problem. 

Below, we have listed the advantages and disadvantages of skincare products.

Advantages of using skincare products:

• They come in a vast array of styles, sizes, prices, and they are produced by a lot of different brands, which means there is something to suit everyone, no matter what their budget. 
• A little goes a long way as the sizes of the products are designed to last several weeks or even months. 
• Having a good skincare routine with the correct products can help to prevent wrinkles.

Disadvantages of using skincare products: 

• Most skin care products are designed to be a ‘one size fits all’ product. 
• Since they contain less concentrated ingredients, skincare products tend to take longer to produce results.
• One product might not work well with, or compliment, another skincare product.
