In fact, Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a natural polymer that serves your skin as a great humectant, it draws water to the skin and helps prevent moisture loss. Plus HA can keep your skin glowing, and it also benefits your joints — all without the harmful side effects of toxic skin products.

Well, here is the simple answer for you… Collagen is vital for our skin, hair, muscles, and bones, it is a structural protein and made up of amino acids, that are building blocks of proteins. Our bodies naturally make collagen from the amino acids and vitamins and minerals (such as vitamin A, vitamin C, and copper) that we eat. It makes up 75 % of our skin, but collagen production in our body naturally decreases as we age. Collagen levels start decreasing about 1% each year after our mid-twenties. In this case, it is highly recommended to start using collagen supplements.

TARGETED VISIBILITY
As long as you increase the visibility of your brand, business, or product/service it will also be required to be engaged in establishing a positive reputation. In order to propose your business successfully, your company needs to be in front of the most applicable, target demographic for your business proposition. Being focused is the main the most vital factor, additionally, it also involves you developing your status on the platforms & sources where your target is most active.
BUILD YOUR E-REPUTATION
In China, you will need to start building your reputation, simply due to the reason that English content, positive reviews on western media platforms will not be visible on the Chinese net. Mandarin Chinese Characters are used in the vast majority of internet research (over 97,5%).
Remember that the Chinese web is a unique ecosystem that requires a fresh and creative approach, right Chinese platforms should be chosen to build your visibility & reputation in order to target your consumers.
CHINESE FORUMS ARE IMPORTANT FOR YOUR E-REPUTATION
Forums are very important and popular in China, even though being in many parts of the world the Chinese are still highly active & engaged in community threads about many topics. Reasonable to mention that developing a positive reputation on sites such as Tieba, Zhidao & Zhihu (Q&A Forums) is highly recommended and very important, since Chinese consumers discuss, share information, leave reviews and offer recommendations.
In addition, one of the booming Beauty Chinese forums is Little Red Book, which highly popular among Chinese ladies. It has more than 5 million monthly users, which are searching the reviews on products which they are willing to purchase. It means that Little Red Book is one of the top useful forums to promote your brand to Chinese millennials.
ONLINE MEDIA & MOBILE MARKETING DOMINATES
Nowadays China embraces the biggest online platform, where digital marketing dominates incredibly, while the whole world is dyed by traditional media and offline marketing. Remarkably that there are 550 million smartphones in China and in terms of developing nations globally this country has the highest penetration rate up to 65%.
Furthermore, since China’s online infrastructure improves very fast, it enables better connectivity which plays a great role for digital mobile marketing strategy, which works great.
WECHAT IS A GREAT TOOL
WeChat has 877 million active daily users, which means that it is a great tool for Chinese market entry, and definitely, it is a strong Launchpad for quality content. In order to get engaged with your target consumers, it is very important to have a presence here since WeChat is the number one social platform in China. WeChat gives the opportunity to create an official account for communications, build a following and push notifications to followers. WeChat enables their users to pay via their Wallet service, and add other functions such as gaming, to e-commerce stores, location services, dating & even taxi-hailing.
When it comes to WeChat, we highly recommend just keeping it social. Businesses here are seen more as individuals, which means that you need to ensure that you closely get engaged with users since WeChat is a conversational platform and Chinese consumers expect (more so than we do in the west) to have personal interactions with brands on such platforms.
CHINESE BUY BRANDS
Chinese consumers buy being obsessed with branding, they purchase brands but not products. Chinese society is more likely fixed about the reputation or let say with the notion of “face”, due to that issue it is clear to understand that in order to express their “face” the most typical way of it is purchasing brands. In a society that is definitely led by consumer needs, when it comes to branding you need to consider this individual expression’s newfound desire.
One of the great advantages is that byword for quality in China is usually perceived for ‘international’ products, due to that fact establishing your own business as a quality foreign brand can allow you to get paid dividends in the long run.
UTILIZE WEIBO (CHINA’S TWITTER)
Weibo in China is a platform similar to Twitter, it serves as a social microblogging network with uses able to see posts from anyone. A number of years ago it was at the edge of failure but due to Alibaba’s backing. Weibo is a big trend to watch since when it comes to supporting online sales via social media marketing efforts, this platform serves perfectly social commerce.
On Weibo, there are a lot of active online influencers and celebrities, they have an open news feeds and active, engaged communities. The bedrock of any social media campaign is the quality content, with external links, images, and text ‘call to action’ a priority if you want to heighten Chinese consumer engagement.
KEY OPINION LEADERS & INFLUENCERS ARE POWERFUL
Established online figures are Key opinion leaders (KOLs), they have gathered large followings around themselves. Moreover, businesses or brands can recruit them due to the fact that they have a high influence. Specific communities and demographics can be targeted by different KOLs by providing quality targeted exposure.
The main point related to KOLs, the best approach, in this case, is that they should have created an “echo chamber” effect by using simultaneously the number on different platforms to post about the brand. That effect supports the brand’s legitimacy if lots of influencers are posting.
INCREASE YOUR VISIBILITY ON BAIDU (CHINA’S GOOGLE)
Baidu, which is similar to Google with its interface, in China has 75% of online research. Since it is a very useful portal in China, a quality site, landing page, content & third-party references appearing on the search based on Mandarin Character Keywords need to be established in order to make businesses visible. The quality traffic can be benefited from the combination of Pay Per Click Ads & SEO.
Therefore, Baidu (bank-end optimization) allows websites to be built as tools for visibility, by using the right keywords optimized in your content as well as titles & descriptions. In the purpose of ascertaining the highest traffic for the best keyword price, selecting the best competitive keywords, in this case, is a must.
