Skin care is something that every girl must do. Skin care products are complicated, but you can find that the most expensive skin care products are basically dropper designs. What is the reason for this? Let's take a look at the reasons why these big brands use dropper designs.
Advantages and disadvantages of dropper design
Looking through all the reviews of dropper bottles, beauty editors will give dropper products a high A+ rating for "the glass material and its light-proof stability are extremely high, which can prevent the ingredients in the product from being damaged", "the amount used can be very accurate and the product is not wasted", "no direct contact with the skin, less contact with the air, and less likely to contaminate the product". In fact, in addition to these, the dropper bottle design has other advantages. Of course, nothing is perfect, and the dropper design also has its disadvantages. Let's talk about them one by one.
Advantages of dropper design: cleaner
With the popularization of cosmetic knowledge and the longer air environment, people's requirements for cosmetics have become higher and higher. Trying to avoid products with preservatives has become an important factor for many women to choose products, so the "dropper" packaging design came into being.
Facial cream products contain a lot of oil components, which makes it difficult for bacteria to survive. But essences are mostly water-like essences and contain rich nutrients, which are very suitable for bacterial reproduction. Avoiding direct contact with essences by foreign objects (including hands) is an important way to reduce product contamination. At the same time, the dosage can be more accurate, effectively avoiding waste.
Advantages of dropper design: good ingredients
The addition of a dropper to the essence is actually a revolutionary innovation, which means that our essence has become more useful. Generally speaking, essences packaged in droppers are divided into 3 categories: anti-aging essences with added peptide ingredients, whitening products with high dimensional C, and various single-ingredient essences, such as vitamin C essence, chamomile essence, etc.
These specific and highly effective products can be mixed with other products. For example, you can add a few drops of hyaluronic acid essence to the toner you use every day to effectively improve dry and rough skin and increase the skin's moisturizing function; or add a few drops of high-purity L-vitamin C essence to the moisturizing essence to improve dullness and effectively prevent ultraviolet damage to the skin; topical use of vitamin A3 essence can improve skin pigmentation, while B5 can make the skin more hydrated.
Disadvantages of dropper design: high texture requirements
Not all skin care products can be taken with a dropper. Dropper packaging also has many requirements for the product itself. First, it must be liquid and not too viscous, otherwise it is difficult to suck into the dropper. Secondly, because the capacity of the dropper is limited, it cannot be a product that is taken in large quantities. Finally, since alkalinity and oils can react with rubber, it is not suitable for use with a dropper.
Disadvantages of dropper design: high design requirements
Usually, the tube head of the dropper design cannot reach the bottom of the bottle, and when the product is used to the last point, the dropper will also inhale some air, so it is impossible to use it all up, which is far more wasteful than the vacuum pump design.
What to do if the small dropper can't be sucked up halfway through use
The design principle of the small dropper is to use a pressure pump to extract and suck up the essence in the bottle. If you find that the essence can't be sucked up halfway through use, the solution is very simple. Use pressing to exhaust the air in the dropper. If it is a squeeze dropper, squeeze the dropper hard and put it back into the bottle. Do not let go and tighten the bottle mouth; if it is a press dropper, you also need to press the dropper completely when putting it back into the bottle to ensure that the air is completely squeezed out. In this way, the next time you use it, you only need to gently unscrew the bottle mouth, no need to squeeze, and the essence is enough for one use.
Teach you how to choose high-quality dropper products:
When buying a dropper essence, first observe whether the essence texture is easy to absorb. It should not be too thin or too thick.
When using, drop it on the back of your hand and then apply it on your face with your fingers. Direct dropping is not easy to control the amount and it is easy to drip down your face.
Try to reduce the time the essence is exposed to the air to reduce the chance of the essence being oxidized.
