Popular products attract exaggeration, from enthusiasts as often as from marketing. Here is what stands up.

"It's the brand's own technology"

True. The Aquaftem complex is Faberlic's own, used across the oxygen series since the late 1990s, and the company has built its identity around it for over two decades. That much is a matter of record.

What it does is described in Faberlic's own materials, which is where that description should be read rather than in any summary.

"It works for everyone"

Overstated. No skincare works for everyone. The range covers all skin types, which is different from suiting every person — texture, sensitivity and individual response vary, and some people will find it does not suit them.

That is ordinary and true of every brand.

"It replaces your other skincare"

False as usually stated. It is a skincare range, so it can form a complete routine. But it does not replace sun protection, which does more for how skin ages than any moisturiser, and it does not replace treatment for a skin condition.

"Results in days"

False. Skin renewal takes roughly a month. Three to four weeks is the shortest honest assessment period for any skincare, and anyone promising visible change in days is describing hydration, which any moisturiser provides temporarily.

"It's anti-ageing"

Depends entirely on what you mean. Good skincare improves texture, hydration and comfort, and consistent sun protection genuinely slows visible ageing.

What no cream does is reverse structural change. Claims of reversal are overpromising regardless of who makes them.

"It's suitable for treating acne / rosacea / eczema"

False, and worth taking seriously. These are medical conditions. Cosmetic skincare manages ordinary skin; it does not treat them, and the months people spend trying products instead of seeing a doctor is time in which some conditions cause lasting damage.

How to tell a real claim from an invented one

Ask where it comes from. If it appears in Faberlic's own published materials, it is the company's claim and you can evaluate it as such. If it comes from a consultant, a group chat or a third-party page and cannot be traced back, treat it as invented — because it usually is.
