Cosmeceutical Compounding

Cosmeceuticals are the combination of cosmetics and pharmaceuticals. It refers to cosmetic products that contain biologically active ingredients known to be medicinal or may have drug-like benefits.

Just as each face has its distinctive features, every person has his or her unique skin type. Compounding can individualize therapy specific for a patient’s need to help the skin look younger and healthier. Compounding pharmacists continue to improve both aesthetic and therapeutic aspects of customized medications, offering alternatives and advantages for dermatology. Compounded medicines can be available as cosmetically appealing creams, topical sprays, powders, and other various preparations. Compatible drugs are combined into a single dosage form to simplify medication administration and improve compliance.
