Why the ordinary Buffet comes out ahead

Where the ordinary Buffet really shines is active ingredient strength, scoring 8.4 compared to Tirtir My Glow Cream's 5.0. Its formula features Acetyl Hexapeptide-8, Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1, and Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7 in high positions, signalling meaningful concentrations.

Hydration Efficacy is another area of separation. the ordinary Buffet scores 8.7 here versus 8.2 for Tirtir My Glow Cream. That difference comes down to how each formula is built — the ingredient list tells the story.

the ordinary Buffet brings Acetyl Hexapeptide-8, Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1, and Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7 as actives, while tirtir My Glow Cream relies on Niacinamide, Allantoin, and Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate. Both approaches have merit, but the positioning and supporting ingredients make the difference.
