In 1984, Dr Albert Kligman coined the term ‘cosmeceutical’, a portmanteau of ‘cosmetic’ and ‘pharmaceutical’.
WHAT ARE COSMECEUTICALS?
In the pursuit of happy, healthy, radiant skin, cosmeceuticals are key. A high-performing skincare category of its own, ‘cosmeceutical’ covers products formulated with active ingredients (think Retinoids, Hydroxy Acids, Peptides) designed to have a specific effect on skin cell function. Results-driven and backed by science, cosmeceuticals most commonly target skincare concerns such as dryness and dehydration, fine lines and wrinkles, rosacea, acne scarring, inflammation and post-treatment care. As we age, our body’s natural processes (like desquamation or Collagen production) begin to slow. Boosted with ingredients renowned for their reviving, repairing, protective and corrective properties, cosmeceuticals step in to pick up the slack, support healthy cellular function, prevent further damage and improve skin’s overall health and appearance.
