Introduction: Skincare is something that every girl must do. Skincare products are diverse and complex, but you can find that the most expensive ones are mostly designed with droppers. 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 product reviews of dropper bottles, beauty editors will give dropper products A+high ratings for "glass material and its high stability in avoiding light, which can prevent the components in the product from being damaged", "can make the usage amount very precise and not waste the product", "does not directly contact the skin, has less contact with air, and is not easy to contaminate the product". In fact, besides these, there are other advantages to the bottle design of droppers. Of course, everything cannot be perfect, and dropper design also has its disadvantages. Let me explain them to you one by one.
Advantages of dropper design: cleaner
With the popularization of cosmetics knowledge and the increasing air environment, people's requirements for cosmetics have become higher and higher. Avoiding products with added preservatives as much as possible has become an important factor for many women to choose products. Therefore, "dropper" packaging design has emerged.
Face cream products contain a lot of oil components, so it is difficult for bacteria to survive. But most of the essence liquid is water like essence, and contains rich nutrients, which is very suitable for bacterial reproduction. Avoiding direct contact with essence by foreign objects (including hands) is an important way to reduce pollution of products. At the same time, the dosage can also be more precise, effectively avoiding waste.
Advantages of dropper design: good composition
An additional dropper in essence liquid is actually a revolutionary innovation, which means that our essence becomes more useful. Generally, the essence packaged by dropper can be divided into three categories: anti-aging essence added with peptide, high vitamin C whitening products, and various single component essence, such as vitamin C essence, chamomile essence, etc.
These single-minded and efficient products can be mixed with other products. For example, you can add a few drops of hyaluronic acid essence to the makeup water you use every day, which can effectively improve the dryness and roughness of the skin and increase the moisturizing function of the skin; Or add a few drops of high-purity L-vitamin C essence into the moisturizing essence, which can improve the dullness and effectively prevent the damage of ultraviolet rays to the skin; Topical use of vitamin A3 essence can improve the skin stain, while B5 can make the skin more moist.
Disadvantages of dropper design: high texture requirements
Not all skincare products can be taken with a dropper, and dropper packaging also has many requirements for the product itself. Firstly, it must be liquid and not too viscous, otherwise it is difficult to inhale the dropper. Secondly, due to the limited capacity of the dropper, it cannot be a product that can be taken in large quantities. Finally, because alkalinity and oil can react with rubber, it is not suitable to take with a dropper.
Disadvantages of dropper design: high design requirements
Usually, the dropper design cannot reach the bottom of the bottle, and when the product reaches the last point, the dropper will simultaneously suck in some air, so it is impossible to use it all up, which is far more wasteful than the vacuum pump design.
What should I do if I can't suck up the droplet halfway through the tube
The design principle of the small dropper is to use the pressure pump to draw up the essence in the bottle. When using half of it, it is very simple to find that the essence cannot be drawn up. The air in the dropper is drained by pressing. If it is a squeeze dropper, squeeze the dropper firmly to put it back into the bottle, and do not loosen your hand to tighten the mouth of the bottle; If it is a push type dropper, when putting it back into the bottle, the dropper should also be fully pressed down to ensure that the air is completely squeezed out. In this way, the next time you use it, you just need to gently unscrew the bottle mouth without squeezing, and essence is enough for once.
Teach you how to choose high-quality dropper products:
When purchasing dropper essence, first observe whether the texture of essence is easy to absorb. It should not be too thin or too thick.
When using, it should be dripped onto the back of the hand and then applied to the face with your fingers. Directly dripping can be difficult to control the amount and can easily drip onto the face.
Try to reduce the exposure time of essence in the air and the chance of essence being oxidized.
