Want A Cheap Night Cream? How To Avoid Getting Ripped Off
With the economy wobbling around, it's no surprise people (including myself) are looking for ways to "trim the fat" on the monthly bottom line. Re-thinking your night cream is no exception. But what use is saving money on night creams if they don't work?
There is a fine line between too-cheap-to-work, and so-expensive-you're-being-scammed. You need to be sure that money saved isn't money wasted. Here's a sure-fire way to wallet and night cream nirvana.
Know What You're Paying For
If you look closely at most advertising and marketing for night creams, you'll see a lot of "Pro-Awesome: a patented scientific breakthrough" or "New-Fangled-Name: a new miracle-worker in...".
Interesting enough, you can never find on their website (or on the product itself), what is actually inside the "Pro-Awesome" ingredient. The label just says "Pro-Awesome Ingredient" .5%. How does this help you? It's as if they patent a group of ingredients just so they don't' have to tell you what's inside!
If you can't find thorough information on the things they are sticking inside each night cream, buyer beware! Before I buy a night cream, I spend time looking around to find out what's inside it. Why should I shell over 40 bucks for the same ingredients as Aveeno's $4.99 hand moisturizer?
How Low Can You Go with Night Cream?
Here's my rule for shopping for night cream: If it's under $30 for 1.7 oz, I'm suspicious. Since I'm using a night cream in the first place, I want something that contains special ingredients just for night creams. Otherwise I'd use a standard lotion.
And those ingredients, as I've found, aren't cheap enough for companies to be able to sell their 1.7 oz products for pennies. So, unless you've got a sale price, don't count on spending less than $30 for a decent night cream.
The Sky is NOT the Limit
On the other side of the scale, I won't pay over $40. Unless there is only 1 lotus flower available for making 10 jars of a "miracle night cream", it's simply not unique enough for me to shell over more than that. Companies asking for more are hoping their med-jargon and flowery description will woo me into an impulse buy.
In fact, I was once tempted to hand over over $100 for a 1.7 ounce jar of night cream on a very high-end line of Skin Care products. But as I tried to discover what was inside, I found the company was as tight-lipped as my daughter staring at a plate of broccoli.
No information means no sale. Period. I don't put stuff on my face without knowing what it is (or isn't).
The Price is Right
So where's the happy medium? In my opinion, you should be able to purchase a good night cream for between $30 and $40.
When I purchase my night cream (at around $38 regular price) I know that I'm purchasing valuable ingredients because I can read about them in the product description. But I also know, through the description, that I'm not paying for liquid gold. (Plus, I can make that 1.7 ounces last a pretty darn long time!)
In summary, if you're re-thinking your budget for cosmetics and skin care, take a hard look at your night cream. It's possible you're making "donations" for sub-par products.
First, before placing your next night cream order, take some time to read through the ingredients list. . If you see only a list of "Miracle Patented Ingredients" (without detailed info on what is in that miracle), take that as a "Just Trust Us" and move on.
Second, use the "Goldilocks" solution in purchasing your night cream. Not too hot, not too cold, but just right. In other words, look for night creams that are not too cheap (less than $30), not too expensive (more than $40), but just wallet-right.
I've gone through that vetting process. I've used those same tests. Feel free to peek over my virtual shoulder and read about my searching-experience for a decent (yet inexpensive) night cream at my website linked below.
