YSL has made a name for itself with lipsticks, foundations and other makeup products, and its position in the beauty industry cannot be underestimated. In recent years, YSL has kept up with the cross-border trend, from makeup to skin care, and launched a series of products to try their outs. Its skin care product line is scarce, and the cream is even more handful. YSL's "Zangjin Luxury Cream" was launched in 2014 and reached its second generation in 2018. The new main new packaging is updated from the past jar-shaped jar to a square can, which still uses gold as the main color and a matte gold lid, and the overall shape is luxurious.
 
There have also been updates to the way saffron is extracted. YSL uses a new high-precision essence distillation method to extract saffron glycan with extremely high purity and stronger effect on promoting cell regeneration. But in fact, the intake of saffron extract in the cream is very small, and it only has a weak antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effect, and is not the main functional ingredient. This is actually similar to the rose extract ingredient advertised by Lancôme Black Gold Cream Cream, which is just a packaging and gimmick, and it is recommended to take it seriously.
 
However, except for the packaging, the rest is old-fashioned. The new Tibetan gold cream focuses on anti-aging and keratin repair, and Bosein sets the anti-aging tone for the cream as the protagonist, which has a certain effect on helping the skin restore elasticity; With salicylic acid, it slightly exfoliates excess keratin for people with thick keratin and rough skin, so as to easily absorb the nutrients and moisture of the cream. However, as an anti-aging cream, this product has little anti-aging effect, and is only a "better than better" anti-aging product, so it is recommended to lower expectations.
 
The anti-aging effect is not good, and the feeling of use is not pleasant. The cream contains too much moisturizing ingredients such as glycerin, mineral oil, and cetyl alcohol, and the balm feels extremely oily to the touch, even if it is applied to the neck or the back of the hands, it feels a little burdensome on the skin. The absorption of the product is mediocre, and it is difficult to get rid of its heaviness, which makes the skin feel sticky. For such a "heavy" skin feel, it is more suitable for desert skin and dry skin.
 
In order to solve the problem of skin use, Tibetan Gold Cream has launched a light cream, the main ingredients are about the same, but the texture is slightly lighter, which weakens the burden brought by the original cream, and it is just right for normal skin to use, while oily skin is recommended to use in winter.
 
Compared with Armani, who is also a big name in the makeup industry but has a firm foothold in the skin care industry, YSL is not in a good position in the skin care industry. The high price of Tibetan Gold Luxury Cream 50ml/HK$3,100 does not stand out in any way, making it difficult to see its sincerity.
