The so-called "glycation" refers to the fact that the residual sugar factors in the skin cause the collagen fibers to break and turn yellow, resulting in yellowing and sagging skin. POLA amplified this concept of skin care, and its "anti-glycation of the epidermis" was also recognized by the IFSCC (International Federation of Cosmetic Chemists), and "anti-glycation" has become more and more well-known under the promotion of POLA.
 
POLA's pinnacle, the Black B.A series, is selling anti-glycation and contains plant extracts. In B.A Beauty Cream, Artemisia is the protagonist and stands at the forefront of anti-glycation. POLA uses a highly concentrated extract method, YAC extract extracted from Artemisia annua and the patented ingredient EG purifying essence have a metabolic function, which can help remove glycations from the dermis and stratum corneum, and restore the skin's elasticity through dual actions. In fact, aging is not achieved overnight, glycation is only one of the reasons, but there are still ultraviolet rays, environmental and other factors that promote aging, coupled with irreversible glycation of the human body, for which B.A beauty cream has also been criticized by many users as "chicken ribs".
 
Although anti-glycation is questionable, the anti-aging effect of B.A Beauty Cream should not be underestimated. The cream is infused with Japanese swertia to help improve the skin's regenerative function and have a calming effect; A variety of extracts such as roller coaster goldenrod extract, marjoram extract, and high-concentration sophora extract can help restore transparency and tension to the skin; The original moisturizing ingredients milk vetch purifying essence and wormwood extract are used for deep moisturizing, and moisturizing ingredients such as meadowfoam seed oil and shark liver alcohol are added to soften the skin and protect the stratum corneum. This also makes the cream relatively rich in texture and excellent in skin moisture, which is a winter savior for dry desert skin, but it is recommended to avoid oily skin or oily skin, and try to avoid summer use for normal skin.
 
The cream is rich, and if you dig more, it is easy to add a burden to the skin, and you can apply it to the whole face the size of a soybean grain. Before applying, heat the cream with the temperature of your palm and press from the middle of your face to the sides to eliminate the greasy feeling. The cream has excellent absorption and can quickly melt into the skin, and the skin texture is visibly delicate and shiny after spreading, and the dullness and sagging of the skin caused by aging are improved, and the face is slightly firmer. The cream is lightly scented and comforting, allowing users to relax and unwind after a tiring day, while also adding a touch of romance to a dull skin care routine at night. The shape of the cream is minimalist, and the all-black bottle looks low-key and individual, which also makes many users think that B.A beauty cream has a sense of "knife mouth and tofu heart" in terms of image.
 
In October 2017, POLA V Resonatic Crystal Radiance Beauty Cream was launched in a high-profile manner, replacing the discontinued "Dream Girl Cream" in one fell swoop, and became the new top cream manager of POLA. Just looking at the shape is full of gimmicks - the light gold-toned pear-shaped bottle, the three-petal propeller scoop is placed on the top of the bottle, the bottle body is constantly swaying, and the cream becomes a tumbler that is about to "fly", with an outstanding sense of design.
 
It abandons the concept of "anti-glycation" and launches a new concept of Retinacula Cutis, which is the part of the dermis that connects to the subcutaneous tissue. POLA believes that RC decreases with age, eventually leading to sagging and aging skin. For this reason, the product claims that the active ingredient penetrates into the subcutaneous tissue, similar to Helena's Black Bandage Cream. However, compared to black bandages, the effect of this product is not outstanding, and the price is higher. The pricing of 50g/4280rmb is even more difficult to please users, and the packaging is eye-catching and the effect is mediocre, which makes the cream feel like putting the cart before the horse. To this day, the reputation and sales of the cream are still not improving, let alone returning to the glory of the "dream cream of dreams".
 
POLA is known for its anti-aging and whitening efforts, and its combination of black technology and botanical ingredients also adds a touch of mystery to POLA. However, plant extracts are different from hormone ingredients after all, so their product efficacy is mainly mild and long-term. Returning to the cream itself, whether it is the pleasantly scented fragrance, the outstanding packaging, or the texture of the skin after use, it is very much in line with the positioning of POLA's luxury skincare experience. B.A beauty cream 30g is priced at 2590 yuan, which is definitely worth trying for dry skin with anti-aging needs.
