Products from the “Dermocosmetics” categoryMore on the topic
Pharmacy cosmetics is made for skin that asks for more care: sensitive, prone to redness or blemishes, or simply tired. Here I look at sun protection, hydration and care for the different skin types, ingredient by ingredient.
Cosmetics are not medicine and do not change diagnoses, but well-chosen care makes a visible difference in how the skin looks and feels. That is why in the articles you will read what to realistically expect from each ingredient and who it suits.
I have additional trainings in dermocosmetics from companies such as La Roche-Posay, Uriage, Eucerin, Filorga and others. It is one of my favourite topics. If you are hesitating in front of the shelf, write to me in the chat and I will help you choose according to your skin.
