COSMECEUTICALS

The term “cosmeceuticals” was invented by US dermatologist Albert Kligman, to identify a type of product that represents the evolution of the usual cosmetic: they are selected on the basis of real efficacy, they contain highly concentrated actives and constitute the avantgarde of cosmetology, due to their intrinsic preventive and healing characteristics. They are pure and concentrated, they use valuable actives that are linked to the concept of a product’s effectiveness, more than its emotional side. We can define cosmeceuticals those products that look like pharmaceutical/cosmetic products (in the form of serum, cream, lotion, emulsion). They are used on the skin as a cosmetic, while their action is similar to drugs’ one.
