Cosmeceuticals are topically applied products that are more than merely cosmetic, yet are not true drugs that have undergone rigorous placebo controlled studies for safety and efficacy. There are many review articles that outline the theoretical biologic and clinical actions of these cosmeceuticals and their various ingredients. This article reviews how to incorporate various cosmeceuticals into the treatment regime of patients, depending on the diagnosis and therapies chosen. The practical application of when, why, and on whom to use different products will enable dermatologists to improve the methodology of product selection and, ultimately, improve patient's clinical results.
化妆品是局部应用的产品,不仅仅是化妆品,也不是真正经过严格安慰剂对照研究的药物,以确保其安全性和疗效。有许多综述文章概述了这些化妆品及其各种成分的理论生物学和临床作用。本文回顾了如何根据选择的诊断和治疗方案,将各种化妆品纳入患者的治疗方案中。何时、为何以及在哪些患者身上使用不同产品的实际应用,将使皮肤科医生能够改进产品选择方法,最终改善患者的临床效果。
