Definition
[edit]Dermocosmetics are a special kind of cosmetics developed for precisely defined skin types or complaints. Formulated in cooperation with dermatologists they are distributed exclusively in pharmacies.[1]
Apart from cosmetic functions their role is to complement skin diseases treatment (e.g. atopic dermatitis, eczema, acne rosacea). They contain ingredients, whose alleviating or therapeutic effect has been confirmed in numerous dermatological or laboratory tests. Dermocosmetics are hypoallergenic: they do not contain substances, which are most frequently leading to allergic reactions. They are manufactured in sterile conditions and tested on sensitive skin. Dermocosmetic products are applied locally to the skin, scalp and hair. They combine a cosmetic action with a dermatological action. Dermocosmetic products are formulated to maintain the health and beauty of the skin and hair. They help to moisturize dry skin, treat dandruff and relieve psoriasis, among other benefits.[2]
