Before we dive into the big world of cosmeceutical skincare, let’s start by defining what exactly cosmeceuticals are! Cosmeceuticals are a blend of cosmetics and pharmaceuticals, designed to have both aesthetic and therapeutic benefits. They often contain active ingredients that target specific skin concerns, like aging, hyperpigmentation, or acne. Unlike regular cosmetics, cosmeceuticals have active ingredients that can bring about changes in skin appearance and function at a deeper level!

EstheClinic and cosmeceuticals

EstheClinic prides itself on using only cosmeceuticals that are carefully curated by our expert team and founder. These cosmeceuticals are part of the luxurious experience at EstheClinic and are incorporated into every treatment here –whether you are having a purifying facial like AquaPure or a body treatment like our Intensive Body Perfection program, EstheClinic integrates these cosmeceuticals for enhanced results.

The best part? They are also available for you to take home, allowing you to incorporate them into your regular skincare routine to achieve that post facial (or post-treatment) look and feel every day!

Are They Worth It? 

Ingredient Efficacy

Look for ingredients with proven benefits. Ingredients like retinoids, peptides, antioxidants (like Vitamin C), and growth factors are commonly found in cosmeceuticals and have been studied for effectiveness.

Formulation Quality

The effectiveness of cosmeceuticals depends on how well they are formulated. Proper formulation ensures that the active ingredients are stable, can penetrate the skin, and are delivered in effective concentrations.

Increased Strength

Most times cosmeceuticals penetrate through the epidermis to the dermis, where your collagen, elastin, and new skin cells reside while regular drugstore brands penetrate through the epidermis only. When discussing skincare, drugstore and cosmeceuticals both have great benefits – it ultimately depends on what skincare concerns you are trying to address, and what your goals are.
