Cosmeceutical Products
Cosmeceutical products have medical and pharmaceutical benefits that cosmetic products cannot provide, as they are applied to the deeper, innermost layers of the epidermis, and are highly effective for the treatment of acne, acne Roseacea, pigmentation, cholasma and dehydration. Cosmeceutical products should always be prescribed by a Skincare Therapist or a Dermatologist. Examples of these include Elizabeth Arden Pro and PRIORI® Skincare
