How Long Does it Take for a Skincare Ingredient to Work? Consistence is Key
by WISHCOMPANY INC on Sep 16, 2021

Get the know the ingredients and their set of benefits
Each ingredient usually has its own set of benefits. For example, niacinamide, the jack of all trades in skincare has multiple benefits such as anti-inflammatory, skin barrier-strengthening, brightening, and also antioxidant. Depending on the intended benefit, you may feel the results at different times. For their skin-barrier strengthening benefits may be visible in a matter of 2 weeks. Meanwhile, for their brightening effect, it may only be visible after 8 weeks of consistent use. The same rule applies to other ingredients, so we will break them down depending on the intended function of the ingredient.
Factors that may cause variations
All these times mentioned above aren’t absolute (all written in ranges) and may vary from person to person depending on several factors, such as:- 1. The degree of every skin issue
- 2. The consistency or frequency of use
- 3. The formulation of the products

Be patient and consistent are key
Skincare requires patient and consistency. We can’t expect overnight results and we should not be putting too much pressure on our skincare products to provide instant visible results. Although it takes time, it is a process that our skin should go through in order to become better. Just like a butterfly. Enjoy the process and have fun with it! Your skin will forever thank you.
