Professional cosmetics for the face can be purchased only in clinics or beauty salons. And, as the name implies, it involves the use of a specialist only. In addition to it, there is a pharmacy cosmetics, which is available to everyone. We present its best samples, in the opinion of the editors of Healthy-Food.

Features of professional cosmetics

We expect miracles from professional cosmetics. Because it is available only to “initiates”.

What are its features?

  • It has a high concentration of active substances.

  • Contains components, the use of which requires medical supervision, as they are quite aggressive.

  • Corrects imperfections.

  • It is applied on a course, not on a permanent basis.

  • Carefully tested not only the safety of the product, but also its effectiveness.

Thus, these are not just means of care, but means of correction. They are used in courses, if necessary – like medicines. And we all know how risky it is to self-medicate.

Modern cosmetics requires a scientific approach.

Until recently, only professional cosmetics included:

  • glycolic and other fruit acids;

  • retinol;

  • strong whitening ingredients.

Now they have become familiar in home care lines. But their concentration is significantly different, as is the speed of the result.
