Why are the top luxury skincare brands so expensive?
The Research and Development that goes behind developing revolutionary skincare formulas comes with a hefty price. The labs, equipment, brainpower and all the ingredients and research behind the latest anti-aging wonder, or skincare miracle requires plenty of funds. That adds to the final cost of the product. Marketing and the use of top quality ingredients also jacks up the price considerably.
In the cheaper skincare versions, cheaper ingredients are used and the marketing, the branding of the product is less aggressive, hence the lower prices. The R&D, the technology behind the formula on the other hand may be found in some cheaper skincare ranges. Namely, the lower priced range under the same beauty company.
Fancy beauty treats from Lancome but can't afford them?
L'oreal owns Lancome, Helena Rubinstein, Shu Uemura, Biotherm, Kiehl's, Garnier and Maybelline amongst other brands. Wouldn't it make sense that those behind Maybelline's products or Loreal's products should be aware of the technology behind Lancome, Helena Rubinstein, Shu Uemura, Biotherm and Kiehl's?
If you can't afford the higher end brands, you can still get beauty products with cutting edge formulas with l'oreal and maybelline. Here are some you might want to check out.
