Pharmacy Facial Cosmetics: expert care

Cosmetics in the health field have gained ground in recent years, becoming of great interest to all those who are conscious not only of beauty , but also of the health of their skin . This has given rise to the highly acclaimed fields of dermocosmetics and dermaceutical products.

These products are pharmacological, meaning they act on the skin tissue thanks to their biochemical capacity and the other active ingredients in their formulas, which have benefits that go beyond aesthetic purposes.

Products for specific needs

Pharmacy-based facial cosmetic products often provide solutions to specific skin problems, especially for reactive or sensitive skin, with formulas that include ingredients with medicinal properties to not only relieve these problems, but also treat them at their root and prevent their recurrence.

Active ingredients in high concentration

Cosmetic products from pharmacies contain active ingredients in higher concentrations than traditional cosmetics, making them much more effective. Furthermore, they incorporate the most commonly used and sought-after active ingredients at a significantly higher concentration, resulting in a much more potent effect.

The most common active ingredients are:

• Hyaluronic Acid: A necessary component for binding collagen and elastin fibers, essential for healthy-looking skin. Also known for its amazing ability to retain moisture, thanks to its molecules that can absorb up to 1000 times their weight in water.
• Glycolic Acid: Also known as AHA, it is a fruit acid derivative whose most notable properties are exfoliation and hydration. It penetrates the upper layers of the skin, those showing signs of deterioration due to age, sun exposure, acne, or other issues, and breaks down the substances that bind dead skin cells to the upper layers. Furthermore, it reinforces the skin's natural moisture after exfoliation, making it less harsh and more effective than other purely chemical exfoliants.
• Lactic Acid: Also known for its bactericidal and depigmenting properties, it is an essential component in many facial cosmetic treatments. Among its benefits is its ability to improve skin with psoriasis or excessive sebum production thanks to its astringent properties. It renews cells and stimulates the natural production of collagen.
• Salicylic Acid: One of the key components in the fight against acne. Known for its regenerative, anti-tartar, and antiseptic properties that combat microbes and microorganisms that can cause infection in comedones and pustules.
• Vitamin A: Also known as retinol, it also helps in the formation of collagen and hyaluronic acid, necessary for maintaining healthier, more elastic, and youthful skin. It is widely known for its anti-wrinkle, antioxidant, pore-minimizing, and sebum-regulating properties.
• Vitamin B: Helps repair the skin and prevents skin aging, which is very important when treating scars, marks, and wounds. It mitigates photoaging, making it perfect for sunscreens. It improves skin texture, smoothing it, which makes it a key component in anti-wrinkle treatments.
• Vitamin C: A well-known antioxidant and brightening agent, it offers extra protection to the skin when exposed to ultraviolet light, protecting cell membranes and proteins like collagen, present in the deeper layers of the skin. It is anti-inflammatory, so it is also used in products to prevent the recurrence of acne breakouts.
• Antioxidants: They slow down the aging process caused by free radicals and their activation through factors such as sunlight, which accelerates it. They also help eliminate skin stress and other harmful substances such as air pollution, tobacco, alcohol, and ingested fats. Therefore, they help prevent dry skin, blemishes, premature wrinkles, and other skin imperfections.
