Comparing Instant Lift and Lift Now for Skin Tightening

Hello!

Regarding Instant Lift and Lift Now, both ingredients provide a similar temporary skin tightening/lifting effect, but they differ in their mechanism of action and considerations for use:

• Instant Lift (Sodium Silicate)

  • Mechanism: Works by creating a thin, glass-like film on the skin, reducing light refraction and making the skin appear tighter.
  • Pros: Provides a strong effect, suitable for individuals with significant, deep, or long wrinkles.
  • Considerations: Not suitable for general formulations, requires a specific concentration to be effective, and can be difficult to apply makeup over (recommended for use after makeup).
  • Usage: Often used in formulas focused on emergency wrinkle reduction.

• Lift Now (Pullulan + Algae Extract)

  • Mechanism: Forms a film from Pullulan and algae extract that coats and tightens the skin.
  • Pros: Can be used in varying concentrations to adjust the desired level of tension, provides a more natural look, and is suitable for various types of facial care products.
  • Considerations: May be less potent in lifting effect compared to Instant Lift.
  • Usage: Used in general facial care products.

In Summary:

If you need a very noticeable lifting effect for prominent wrinkles and can apply the product as the final step after makeup, Instant Lift might be the more suitable choice.

However, if you prefer a more natural look, adjustable tension, and want to incorporate the ingredient into general facial skincare used before makeup, Lift Now would be more appropriate.

Hope this information helps you decide!
