Cosmetics and medicines are not the same thing at all, and they should not be confused. But at the same time, there is a special kind of cosmetics, which is not only able to hide any problem with appearance, but also cure their cause. For example, we can talk about skin defects. Therapeutic cosmetics will not hide them, it will heal the skin itself. Therefore, such products are most often sold in pharmacies.
But therapeutic cosmetics and the difference from drugs have – most of its drugs are intended for external use, while most drugs we take inside.
There is another way to classify therapeutic cosmetics – at its price and target group. There is a very expensive therapeutic cosmetics that can be called elite. There is a cheaper that is available to many consumers. There is still professional, which is acquired by beauty salons, as it requires skill in application.
In addition to the treatment of the skin, there are drugs that treat nails, teeth and hair. They are produced in the form of all the same creams, lotions, lipsticks, ointments and emulsions that are in ordinary cosmetics.
