At present, the market of pharmacy cosmetics is developing intensively in Russia. Today almost all the leading European brands can be represented in our pharmacies. And any woman, just like in Europe, where it is customary to go to a pharmacy for active cosmetics, can communicate with a pharmacist, find for herself or her family members any, the best and most effective remedy.
The vast majority of people divide the makeup into good and bad, often guided by the most unexpected criteria, up to the opinion of a neighbor or girlfriend. Advanced consumers, however, know that cosmetics is massive, elite and professional. What is the difference between products of a particular category, many people also fully represent. And only chemist's cosmetics still remain peculiar terra incognita, hiding its true face from the consumer behind the terms "medical", "pharmaceutical", "dermatological", "dermocosmetics", "cosmeceuticals".
Cosmetic preparations, in contrast to medicinal products, "have the right" to act only on the surface layer of the skin - therefore, according to existing norms, only those substances that do not penetrate deeper than the basal membrane. However, no cosmetic product that meets this definition is able to seriously affect either the aging process of the skin, nor its regeneration, or moisturizing, because for this it must penetrate into the deep layers of the skin - into the dermis, in other words, be active. Such active cosmetics all over the world are allocated to a special group of products, and for it a special term is formed: somewhere it is called "dermatological", somewhere "medical", somewhere "pharmacy".

These tests differ from conventional cosmetic testing in that they are performed in a medical clinic on people who have this or that skin pathology.
We are talking about people with increased sensitivity of the skin, as well as with more serious dermatological diseases. That is, pharmacy cosmetics are drugs that give a pronounced effect in the treatment of a particular skin pathology. This does not mean that in the range of cosmeceutical products there can not be, for example, anti-aging creams. Maybe, but this cream will be developed taking into account that its buyer suffers from any skin disease. And at the same time it does not mean that absolutely healthy people can not use this cosmetics.
