Recently, I have been taking a keen interest in Russian cosmetics. I am happy to try new products and get acquainted with domestic manufacturers. And when I find things that really work, I am happy as a child and proud of ours.
Recently I got acquainted with the Blom brand and their innovative development - microneedle patches for the skin around the eyes and for nasolabial folds. They were developed by the scientist Vasily Zvezdin, a resident of Skolkovo.
The brand has patches for different areas of the face that help solve different problems. I have two magic boxes. One is designed to get rid of puffiness under the eyes, the other should smooth out the nasolabial folds.
I will tell you in more detail how to use them and whether they really fulfill the stated promises.
Patches for nasolabial folds and wrinkles: containlicorice extract and hyaluronic acid. Covered with microneedles that deliver benefits deep into the skin.
They promise: smooth out the nasolabial, lighten the skin, even out the shadow relief and stimulate collagen production.
In practice: these are not the patches we are used to. They have nothing to do with hydrogels. One surface is smooth and cosmically shiny, the other is rough and prickly.
She took off all the protective tapes, glued them to the nasolabs, after cleaning the skin. She pressed tightly to activate them and began to wait for a miracle. It was necessary to wait 25 minutes, periodically pressing on the patches.
And then the oddities began. The skin began to tingle and tingle. It doesn't seem to hurt, but somehow unusual. You directly feel that something is happening there.
I went with them and died of curiosity. She took it off and immediately began to look intently for her depression on the right side. I am pleased with the strong asymmetry on my face and on the one hand there is a visible nasolabial fold, and on the other not.
And a small miracle really happened. The wrinkle has decreased, as if it was pushed out from the inside and the skin became smooth and smooth. By the evening, after active facial expressions, everything returned, unfortunately, to square one, but the manufacturer recommends 4-6 applications for a lasting effect. I only used it twice, I will continue to test it.
Microneedle eye patches with caffeine for puffiness
They promise: improved microcirculation, pronounced lifting effect, increased skin density and elasticity, deep hydration.
In practice: there were some drawbacks here. The patches were stiff and did not follow the natural curves. They didn't want to stick and sagged. It seemed to me that they were just hanging and I was constantly gluing them.
There was also a tingling sensation. When she took them off, the delicate skin around her eyes turned red. I honestly managed to get scared. But literally in 5 minutes the redness passed and the skin became noticeably fresher. Small wrinkles were smoothed out and the bruises were gone. The patches, although not convenient, are effective.
They are not suitable for everyday life, but as an SOS tool, an excellent option.
Summing up, I want to note that the products are really interesting, the patches for nasolabial folds were especially impressed. I'm glad that our guys create cool things that really work.
