Cosmeceuticals are products that have both cosmetic and therapeutic (medical or drug-like) effects, and are intended to have a beneficial effect on skin health and beauty.

Cosmeceutical skincare products are often backed by science and research so you can be more confident the products are going to do what they say they’ll do. Basically, cosmeceutical products are formulated to deliver better results than regular skincare products.

Specifically, there are seven categories of cosmetics and personal care products – oral care, skin care, sun care, hair care, decorative cosmetics, body care and perfumes.
