Cosmeceutical is a combination of two sciences – cosmetology and pharmacology. Cosmetic products have a strong concentration of nutrients and contribute to the healing of the skin. Cosmetics act on the deeper layers of the epidermis than basic cosmetics and help cope with wrinkles, acne, flaking and other common problems.
