An Evergreen Health report dated May 2, 2025, by reporter 李政純 asks why a skin-care product may not produce the expected result simply because it is applied generously or carries a high price. The feature brings together perspectives from Dr. Lee (李杰年) and Dr. Chiang (江紀萱).
Application and absorption are different
Dr. Lee discusses the epidermal barrier and uses a roughly 0.3 mm description in the original report. The barrier protects the body, but it also limits the passage of ingredients. A temporary sensation of moisture on the surface does not automatically resolve deeper concerns about dryness, sensitivity or oil balance.
The doctors discuss why pigment, fine lines and collagen-related changes are not addressed equally by every topical product. The condition of the skin after a procedure or during a seasonal change can further affect what is appropriate. More expensive products do not necessarily overcome these differences.
Delivery methods require assessment
Dr. Chiang discusses professional methods including microneedling, pneumatic delivery, cold mist and infrared-related approaches. The original describes examples of improved hydration or brightness in the context of assessed care after light or laser procedures.
Noninvasive electroporation is introduced as another approach to temporary channels. The report discusses its potential use for people with sensitive skin, slower recovery or a preference to avoid needles, while keeping ingredient selection and the condition of the barrier central to the decision.
Keep daily care consistent
The article returns to sun protection and moisturizing as foundations. UV exposure affects pigmentation and skin health, while water balance and an intact barrier remain relevant even in Taiwan’s humid climate.
The feature encourages readers to understand both the product and the delivery method, and to seek professional evaluation when skin is unstable or recovering from a procedure. Its examples describe the original interview rather than a uniform treatment plan for all readers.
