Can cheap products actually be effective?

Totally! High prices are often due to packaging, marketing, or brand name. Proven ingredients like niacinamide, HA, or glycerin can be found in affordable products.

Which local brands are recommended?

Lots! Some Saints, Wardah, Emina, Somethinc (some products), N'Pure, and many more. The key is to research and read reviews.

Is it worth it to upgrade to more expensive products later?

Depends on your concerns. For basic skincare, affordable products are enough. Upgrade to more expensive ones if you have specific concerns that need advanced ingredients.
