I don't use MUA much, likely because I don't know m/any of the posters, so I don't know how to weigh what they write. I never thought of the placebo effect for skin care! That's funny actually. I think it helps to switch products occasionally because I can see a difference. I'm pretty hard to persuade.

But then sometimes I find they're swayed by ad copy themselves, believing in the placebo effect. That or they have different needs/desires than I do, we're all different after all. It's being some years now that I run everything I am thinking of buying through the review section of MUA: so many opinions bunched beat out the hell of having just one or two opinions on something. It's not foolproof but it's a helpful index for shopping. I do tend to place more trust in a friend’s word of mouth, true.
