Pharmacy cosmetics are manufactured taking into account the most stringent requirements. Before getting into the hands of buyers, it is subject to control by special authorities. Pharmacy cream, in contrast to cosmetic, contains substances that are used in the production of drugs. For example, zinc oxide, calcium gluconate, dexpanthenol and many others. Thanks to this, medicinal and pharmaceutical cosmetics are able to heal the skin.

Benefits of pharmacy cosmetics

Smooth skin without wrinkles and acne is what every woman strives for. Manufacturers of cosmetics make good money on this. Women are constantly in search of their perfect cream that will transform the skin.

The overwhelming majority of mass-market care products contain cheap and often hazardous components. Parabens, mineral oils, formaldehyde, propylene glycol, phthalates and many others can harm the skin and the body. All of these substances can be found in skin care products sold in most beauty stores.

Pharmacy creams are strictly tested. Their formulas are softer, but much more effective. Dangerous chemistry, preservatives and antibiotics cannot be found in their composition. Cosmetics contain only plant extracts, vitamins, enzymes, minerals, peptides, thermal water and other useful substances.

Pharmacy cosmetics are divided into two types:

1. Dermatological, or medicinal. It contains substances that are able to penetrate the surface layers of the skin deep into the epidermis. Mass-market cosmetics are not capable of this. Healing creams and serums are most often prescribed by a doctor to combat dermatitis and various rashes.
2. Pharmaceutical. Products from this group can significantly improve the overall condition of the skin. It is most often used to slow down the aging process.

Pharmacy skin creams do not mask its imperfections, but actually fight them. These products are multifunctional. The pharmaceutical anti-aging cream can not only smooth wrinkles, but also increase the density and elasticity of the skin. And also tighten the oval.

Pharmaceutical and dermatological care cosmetics are always tested on sensitive skin. This is an advantage, as in the modern world many women suffer from irritation, redness and breakouts. Choosing a pharmacy cream, you can not be afraid that its use will provoke the development of an allergic reaction.

Types of cosmetic products

All products of this type can be divided into three independent groups:

• medical cosmetics;
• selective cosmetics;
• mass market.

Medical pharmaceutical cosmetics are used for the prevention and treatment of certain types of diseases of the skin, hair, nails. It contains biologically active additives. This type includes products of the Sofia brand.

The products of the mass market group are available to most consumers and are intended for high-quality care of the delicate skin of the face, hands and feet, as well as hair and nails. This type of cosmetics is sold not only in pharmacies, but also in specialized stores.

Natural cosmetic

Cosmetics with a perfectly matched combination of natural ingredients, the latest technologies and magnificent textures - Nuxe ("Nyuks"). Essential oils, vitamins, fruit acids nourish and regenerate the skin, relieve irritation, maintain elasticity and youth.

Hypoallergenic products based on essential oils and plant extracts - CAUDALIE ("Kodali"). They target specific skin problems, not just preventative care.

"Topping" - German cosmetics. It is based on olive oil. The company offers customers products for everyday additional use and care of skin and hair. The assortment of the company includes tonic, protective, nutritional products.

Taking care of your hair

PHYTO ("Fito") is a renowned dermatological brand specializing in the production of high quality and effective hair care products. All the herbal extracts included in the composition are optimally dosed.

KLORAN ("Cloran") - these cosmetics contain extracts of medicinal plants and herbs (nettle, nasturtium, thistle, macassar, quinine, etc.). In scientific laboratories "Cloran" developed the ideal ratio of these extracts.

Nutricosmetics

Means of the company INNEOV ("Inneov"), in addition to effectively solving problems with hair and skin, replenish the existing lack of vitamins and useful micro- and macroelements in the human diet. They deliver the required amount of active substances to the body.

The Danish line makes unique complexes for nourishing and improving skin condition. They contain active ingredients, collagen, which is essential for healthy skin like air.

Hyaluronic acid

Today, many people know the beneficial effects of this component on the condition of the skin. What role does it play? Hyaluronic acid has a binding effect on water in the intercellular spaces, helping to increase tissue resistance. One acid molecule binds and holds around itself up to five hundred water molecules. It distributes and transports it into the tissues. In addition, it is an excellent joint lubricant, normalizes intraocular pressure.

How hyaluronic acid helps skin

It is effective in correcting age-related skin changes. Restores lost elasticity, fights the formation of folds and wrinkles. The difficulty lies in the fact that in the cream it is rather difficult to preserve the active acid in a large volume, which can help the dehydrated skin.

Choice of quality cosmetics

Pharmacy brands of cosmetics are constantly replenished, so every year it becomes more difficult to make the right choice. It is no secret that even in the pharmacy chain, not all cosmetic products are of high quality. When choosing the necessary product, pay attention to its percentage. Often, not very conscientious manufacturers go to the trick and include in their products a tiny proportion of hyaluronic acid (one percent or even less). Cosmetologists recommend choosing products with a daily use of at least 150 mg. This concentration does not cause quick addiction, but the effect will be very noticeable. This justifies the high cost of such drugs. Today, pharmaceutical cosmetics containing hyaluronic acid are produced by many manufacturers, but it is better to buy products from world famous brands such as OLAY, La Rochy Posay, Lancome, Estee Lauder.

Domestic manufacturers are not lagging behind either. The following companies can be noted:

- "Kosmoteros" - manufactures products for facial skin and special dietary supplements.

- "Geltek" - with the help of this cosmetics it is possible to effectively deal with superficial wrinkles and get rid of dry skin.

- "Pleiana" is a company whose products contain only natural ingredients.

- "Mirra" - the preparations include biotechnological hyaluronic acid.

By the way, the mentioned component is also available in pure form (in ampoules). This acid is very effective, as it intensively moisturizes the epidermis. It can be used as an express option when you urgently need to put yourself in order.

The most effective and high-quality cosmetics containing hyaluronic acid are the products of the Japanese brands Hada Labo, Haru Hada, Sakura. These drugs are admired by women all over the world.

The modern pharmaceutical cosmetics market is represented by a variety of powerful and effective products aimed at caring for tired, aging skin. They can be used by women of absolutely any age category and with any dermatological problems. With their help, it is quite possible, without the intervention of plastic surgeons, to cope with problems such as sagging skin, its dullness, as well as with some types of skin diseases. Now you shouldn't "kill yourself" about every new wrinkle that appears. If you wish, you can stop time and even reverse it.

Contraindications

Like all so-called anti-aging products, pharmacy cosmetics with hyaluronic acid can have side effects. It is not recommended to use it during pregnancy and lactation, with a tendency to edema. It is not worth using it for more than three months; it is also not recommended to combine such preparations with cosmetics containing fruit acids.

These are aloe, calendula, chamomile, horsetail. If the rash on the face is strong and the abscesses have spread literally all over the skin, you should choose products based on medicinal oils - primrose, lavender, tea tree.

Types of pharmacy skin care cosmetics

Cleanser

Since we are talking about pharmaceutical cosmetics, these products are aimed at solving problems:

elimination of oily sheen;

thorough cleansing of acne-prone skin;

delicate cleansing of sensitive skin prone to allergies and redness.

Micellar water

It easily and effectively removes impurities and makeup without irritating or traumatizing the skin. The main active ingredient is microscopic micelles, fatty acid ester compounds. They are responsible for thorough cleansing. And the glycerin in the composition of the product softens their effect.

Cream

It is chosen individually depending on what problem needs to be solved. Some products help to cope with increased oily skin and acne, others - with dryness and dehydration, and still others fight hyperpigmentation, signs of photo- and chrono-aging.

The cream acts on the deep layers of the skin, improving blood circulation, the work of the sebaceous glands, metabolic processes. When choosing it, skin type and age are taken into account.

Mask

Cleansing, moisturizing, nourishing - pharmacy masks are very effective. In some cases, for example, after hardware and injection techniques of rejuvenation - mesotherapy, laser, they can become an alternative to professional masks. Of course, subject to correct and timely use.

How to choose pharmacy face cosmetics

For a product to be truly effective, choose it according to your skin type and specific problems.

Normal skin

There may be nuances with the texture: for the winter period it should be denser, for the warm season - light.

Dry skin

The main active ingredients of cosmetics for dry skin are oils and hydrofixers. After all, this type needs not only active hydration, but also moisture retention.

Oily skin

Use light sorbet creams, gels and fluids. They reduce the production of sebum (sebum), mattifying, while softening and moisturizing the skin well, and giving it radiance.

Problem skin

Perhaps, there are the most pharmaceutical products for this type of skin. There are cleansing products, matting masks, and special remedies for acne. If you do not know which one to choose, consult a beautician or dermatologist.

What you need to know about pharmacy face cosmetics: expert opinion

When studying the label of a pharmacy product, it may seem that its composition is no different from a store one. The same hyaluronic acid, collagen, plant extracts. But there are important differences: all active components undergo additional testing and purification, and have a significantly higher concentration.

In addition to them, the composition of pharmaceutical cosmetics, as a rule, includes:

thermal water, which does not evaporate, but penetrates into the deep layers of the skin;

zinc oxide is a well-known antiseptic;

lactic and glycolic acids - they stimulate cell regeneration, moisturize and nourish the skin;

polysaccharides (fermented kombucha tea extract, mosquito rose seed oil) - prevent skin aging and fading.

“The fundamental point is the mechanism of action: if a cream from a store is created to maintain the normal state of the skin, then dermatocosmetics are developed specifically to solve problems, and therefore have a higher bioavailability, the ability to penetrate into the deep layers of the skin and truly change its vital functions, - says Elena Eliseeva, medical consultant at Vichy. "Pharmacy cosmetics often have a cumulative effect: they do not instantly mask imperfections, but work slowly but surely, eventually eliminating imperfections for a long time."

Pros and cons of pharmacy cosmetics

All pharmacy products are quite expensive - and this is perhaps their main drawback. The high price is due to the fact that the manufacturing company introduces patented ingredients and / or technologies into the composition, thanks to which the active ingredient is delivered exactly where it is needed.

For example, vitamin C. Everyone knows that it is an excellent antioxidant. However, the molecule of its most active form - L-ascorbic acid - is very unstable, and in order for it to get into the deep layers of the skin, transdermal delivery is required. Such technologies are not cheap to develop.

But believe me, it's worth it. After all, these funds:

hypoallergenic, their safety has been clinically proven;

solve many problems, from acne and hyperpigmentation to preventing early aging;

they smell good, have a comfortable consistency (in laboratories, special attention is paid to these qualities).
