5 Reasons Why Dermacosmetics are Better Than Regular Cosmetic

Why are cosmeceuticals and dermacosmetics better?

They are skin care products which are between a pharmaceutical and cosmetic product line, So they are cosmetic products but actually have a biologic function with active ingredients that are specially formulated to target specific concerns. Some of the advantage of these products lines are

1. They offer higher concentration of the active ingredients in the formula compared to  cosmetic products.

2. They use more advanced formulas and have some promising newer ingredients which are backed by some research.

3. The probability of penetration of these products is higher. Researchers use the 500 Dalton Rule for Skin Penetration to make sure the key ingredient molecules can get into the skin. The thumb rule being the larger the molecules the less effective is the end product.

4. These products are explained and prescribed by a dermatologist. This ensures that patients have a better understanding of how they should be used, prescription for their specific condition and the order in which it needs to be used. The order in which the ingredients are applied to the skin is very important because some ingredients affect skin penetration – making other ingredients more or less effective. This also ensures higher success rates.

5. Consumers have multiple need and less time to apply multiple creams so dermacosmetic products offer ingredients with multifunctional benefits, which are prescribed only very specifically to their conditions.
