The Increasing Global Market For Cosmeceutical Skin Care Products

According to the Global Cosmeceuticals Market Report, the global cosmeceuticals market is expected to increase at a compound annual growth rate of 7.28% between 2012 and 2016. This is due in part with the evolution of new ingredients being used to make new and innovative products, but also the growth of urbanisation and the increasing affordability of cosemeceuticals in developing countries.

Over recent years, many new ingredients have emerged in the market, particularly extracts from plant stems, peptides and fruits. With the inclusion of new ingredients, the market for cosmeceuticals has grown as there is a high demand for cosmetic products that use natural and organic ingredients, which are professed to achieve better results than chemical based products.

Cosmeceuticals are produced with a scientific approach, making use of biologically active ingredients with scientifically proven clinical benefits to the skin. When applied to areas of the skin, active ingredients are able to effectively penetrate and reach deeper dermal layers of the skin, and therefore have a more positive and noticeable effect on the appearance of the skin.

Cosmeceuticals differ from standard over-the-counter cosmetics due to the concentration of biologically active ingredients. Cosmeceuticals contain many more active ingredients in far higher concentrations and therefore penetrate further into the skin for more visible and positive long-term effects. Cosmeceuticals are different to prescription skin care products as although they contain a higher concentration of ingredients than standard cosmetic products, they are not as strongly concentrated as in prescription products. This means that cosmeceuticals can be safely sold without a prescription and are safe to use on the skin on a regular basis.

Certain ingredients are regularly used in cosmeceuticals as they are clinically proven to have impressive and fast effects. For example, Glycolic Acid, Retinol, Niscinamide, Hyaluronic Acid, Idebenone and antioxidants are proven to nourish, hydrate, renew and repair the skin cells and improve the skin tone. People suffering from skin damaged by sun damage, dry skin, dehydrated skin, wrinkles, uneven skin tone and acne can stand to benefit considerably by using cosmeceuticals.
