Meaning of cosmecéutica

cosmecéutica: It is another commercial invention to promote cosmetics evoking pharmaceutical drugs in the name. While pharmacosmetics already exist, that term leaves no doubts about a medical or professional component, and that allows legal claims for misleading advertising.; SCIENCE or technique that treats the repair of the effects of aging, especially on the skin. The difference with cosmetics is that these serve to beautify. Instead, cosmeceuticals have restorative attributes and get closer to a drug. For example, products to reduce baldness or to rejuvenate the skin and reduce wrinkles.
