Is cosmeceuticals medicine or makeup?

China does not have an approval number for "cosmeceuticals". Even abroad, there is no special approval number for cosmetics. It's just that the departments in charge are different. Domestic brands have the word "Wei Zhuang Zhun". If it is a foreign brand, it needs the word "Wei Zhuang Jin". Since it belongs to the "Zhuang" word number, it is of course cosmetics, not medicine!

What is the difference between cosmeceuticals and pharmaceuticals?

Medicines: The highest concentration of active ingredients; suitable for patients with severe skin conditions; for the purpose of treatment, they will directly change the patient's skin condition, such as turning oily skin into neutral skin, the effect is fast and obvious, but sometimes there are side effects; usually purchased at a hospital or pharmacy after a doctor prescribes it.

Cosmeceuticals: The concentration of active ingredients is lower than that of drugs: They can be used by people with allergies, damaged skin, mild dermatitis, and the general public; they are in between the two, with the effects of repairing and assisting drugs; they are not as irritating as drugs, and will slightly change the surface condition of the skin, but are still gentle; they are sold in hospitals, pharmacies, and drugstores, with professional doctors and pharmacists on hand to guide their use.
