What Are Cosmeceuticals?

Patients are becoming increasingly educated about the science of skincare. Although over-the-counter, topical skincare products promise a range of claims and benefits, they contain a low percentage of active ingredients, offering limited efficacy. With more emphasis on the importance of taking care of your skin, cosmeceuticals are slowly becoming the new standard in the realm of skincare. As an emerging sector within both aesthetics and skincare industries, cosmeceuticals are experiencing rising demand and we explore why skin-enthusiasts are fawning over this portmanteau product.

What Are Cosmeceuticals?

Cosmeceutical products offer a specialised hybrid of cosmetics and pharmaceuticals, developed with bioactive ingredients.  Arriving in the form of topical creams, lotions and serums, cosmeceuticals are developed with biologically active compounds, intended to improve the appearance of skin health. The specialised combination of ingredients seeks to provide visible and long-term benefits.  Available to purchase over the counter, cosmeceutical skincare provides a more efficacious blend of ingredients, in comparison to regular skincare staples. High-street skincare only treats the surface of the skin as it does not contain the necessary concentration of actives required to penetrate the epidermis. Although more readily available, high-street skincare can only address superficial skin concerns and is unlikely to aid in the long-term restoration of your skin.   

The active ingredients present in cosmeceuticals penetrate the epidermis and act in the dermis. Unlike most regular cosmetic products, cosmeceuticals are designed to deliver visible benefits. Formulated with high-quality ingredients, patients can expect visible, long-term results. Practitioners can create a simple and effective cosmeceutical skincare routine for patients struggling with a specific skin concern. By following a tailored plan, the patient not only saves the money and time spent trialling multiple skincare products, but they also avoid potentially damaging their skin barrier or worsening their skin issues by combining incompatible actives.
