Difference Between Cosmetic, Cosmeceutical & Pharmaceutical Product
✨ Cosmetic, Cosmeceutical & Pharmaceutical Products
👉 Do you know the difference? Let’s break it down!
💄 Cosmetics = Beauty & Appearance
- Enhance looks, color, fragrance & texture
- Work only on the surface of skin or hair
- Temporary effect, no biological changes
📌 Examples: Lipstick, Shampoo, Perfume, Moisturizer
🧴 Cosmeceuticals = Beauty + Science
- Contain active ingredients (Retinol, Vitamin C, Hyaluronic Acid)
- Go deeper than cosmetics – improve skin health over time
- Preventive & corrective benefits (anti-aging, acne care, sun protection)
- Not strictly regulated as drugs
📌 Examples: Vitamin C Serum, Anti-aging Creams, Sunscreens
💊 Pharmaceuticals = Medical Treatment
- Designed to treat or cure medical conditions
- Backed by clinical trials & strict regulations
- Require doctor’s prescription (in most cases)
- Provide long-term, targeted results
📌 Examples: Acne medications, Anti-fungal creams, Steroid ointments
