In foreign countries, it is called cosmetics, which is a product between medicine and cosmetics. In China, there is no official definition of cosmeceuticals!

For allergic skin, remember, because you have allergic skin, you should pay special attention when using cosmeceuticals. If you want to use this cosmeceutical, you can do an allergy test to see if your skin is allergic to this cosmeceutical. You can usually go to the hospital for a checkup. Of course, that may cost some money and be very troublesome. You can also test it with your own skin. Generally speaking, it is to apply cosmeceuticals to the skin of hands, look at them repeatedly, and use them several times to see if they will cause allergies to the skin of hands. If you are allergic for many times, you can't use this cosmeceutical anymore. It's a pity, because you are allergic. If you insist on using it, it will only make your skin worse.

Some people think that cosmeceuticals do not contain preservatives. This is also wrong. You know, these antiseptic ingredients will be added to any product to a greater or lesser extent. So there will be some in the cosmeceutical. In fact, if you find that it says no preservatives are added when you use it, remember, it must be fake. Before using them, you must carefully read their usage and ingredient list.

For herbal cosmeceuticals, many people think that it may make your skin tight. In fact, this is also wrong. As far as cosmeceuticals are concerned, all it needs to do is to improve, and the degree of improvement is uncertain. Therefore, for a kind of contraction or tightness in the deep skin, cosmeceutical has no such effect. Therefore, don't mistakenly think that cosmeceuticals will make your skin firmer, which is a very wrong thinking. It's a three-point poison, and so is cosmeceutical.
