Because our skin is so good at keeping things out, most skincare products never penetrate the skin and stay only on the skin's surface. As a result, skincare products have little impact because the skin is intelligently designed as a barrier to the external environment. Since our skin constantly sheds and regenerates, these products never have any long-term benefit, no matter how effective the ingredients used to create the products.
