As you can easily guess from the name, these products are distributed in pharmacy chains, medical clinics or through online pharmacy stores.

“All dermatocosmetics (also called pharmaceutical, medicinal, active, cosmeceuticals) are manufactured according to standards close to those used in the creation of drugs - - Testing for effectiveness and safety is mandatory.

testing of the active substance;

Types of pharmaceutical cosmetics for skin care

Cleanser

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

elimination of oily shine;

Thorough cleansing of acne-prone skin;

delicate cleansing of sensitive skin prone to allergies and redness.

Micellar water

It easily and effectively removes dirt and makeup without irritating or damaging the skin. The main active component is microscopic micelles, complex compounds of fatty acid esters. They are responsible for thorough cleansing. And glycerin in the product softens their effect.

Cream

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

The cream affects the deep layers of the skin, improving blood circulation, the functioning of the sebaceous glands, and metabolic processes. When selecting it, skin type and age are taken into account.

Mask

Cleansing, moisturizing, nourishing - pharmaceutical masks are very effective. In some cases, for example, after hardware and injection rejuvenation techniques - mesotherapy, laser, they can become an alternative professional masks. Of course, provided that it is used correctly and in a timely manner.

How to choose pharmacy facial cosmetics

For the 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 it should be light.

Dry skin

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

Oily skin

Light sorbets, gels and fluids will come in handy. They reduce the production of sebum (sebum), mattify, while softening and moisturizing the skin well, giving radiance.

Problem skin

There are probably the most pharmaceutical products for this skin type. There are cleansing products, mattifying masks, and special acne products. If you don’t know which one to choose, consult a cosmetologist or dermatologist.

What you need to know about pharmaceutical facial cosmetics: expert opinion

When studying the label of a pharmaceutical product, it may seem that its composition is no different from the store product. 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, pharmaceutical cosmetics usually include:

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

zinc oxide is a known antiseptic;

dairy and glycolic acid- they stimulate cell regeneration, moisturize and nourish the skin;

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

“The fundamental point is the mechanism of action: if a cream from a store is created to maintain the normal condition of the skin, then dermatocosmetics are developed specifically to solve problems, and therefore have 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, ultimately eliminating imperfections for a long time.”

Pros and cons of cosmetics from pharmacies

All pharmaceutical products quite expensive - and this is perhaps their main drawback. The high price is explained by 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 this is an excellent antioxidant. However, the molecule itself active form- L-ascorbic acid is very unstable and requires transdermal delivery to reach the deep layers of the skin. Developing such technologies is not cheap.

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

hypoallergenic, their safety has been clinically proven;

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

they smell pleasant and have a comfortable consistency (laboratories pay special attention to these qualities).
