Expensive Not Always Best

Do you think the best face cream is always measured by how much it costs? Well I certainly do not think so. I was previously once sold by a popular Japanese face cream that was terribly expensive but promised clear and glowing skin. Unfortunately, the cream was too rich for me and broke out my skin! Imagine the pains of having to deal with acne breakouts and having to fork out money for an expensive face cream! Now I tend to approach any best face cream claims with much caution. Would you spend thousands on any face cream?
