Cosmeceuticals: a custom antidote for aging skin

Cosmeceuticals refers to the combination of cosmetics and pharmaceuticals.

Cosmeceuticals are cosmetic products with biologically active ingredients purporting to have medical or drug-like benefits.  Dermatological research suggests that the bioactive ingredients used in cosmeceuticals have benefits beyond the traditional moisturizer (e.g., Chen et al., 2005;^[1] Zettersten, Ghadially, Feingold, Crumrine, & Elias, 1997^[2]).  The “cosmeceutical” label applies only to products applied topically, such as creams, lotions and ointments.

Pharmacy vs. Department Store

Have you ever walked up to the cosmetic counter at a department store and have your jaw drop to the floor when you noticed the extravagant prices? If these products really possessed the anti-ageing benefits that they promise, maybe, you could justify some of the cost. But chances are the extravagant prices don’t come with extravagant results.

Where to purchase Cosmeceuticals

We believe that the cosmeceuticals that you buy should be based on science, not hype. That is why we only carry products that have specific active ingredients at specific dosages that show significant clinical successes. All too often, expensive cosmetics will contain the correct active ingredient, but they will not contain the proper amount of that active ingredient.

Rx Skin therapy

We offer complete skin care regimens customized for your skin type. Our products are designed to cleanse, correct, hydrate and protect your skin. There are 18 products intended to improve the appearance of aging skin. The line includes cleansers, facial masques & exfoliants, moisturizers, and anti-aging and skin-rejuvenation products.

Because the formulations are science-based and contain medicinal percentages of cosmeceutical ingredients and botanicals, the products are significantly different than most similar products, which often include only trace amounts of these expensive ingredients and botanicals. Our entire line is gluten free, but even those without gluten issues will love our products.
