What are the differences between professional and conventional cosmetics?
According to their composition, cosmetic products for the face are divided into several types.
- Regular. They are sold almost everywhere: from specialized cosmetics stores to supermarkets. They are aimed at different buyers, as they are produced and sold in huge quantities. They do not differ in a unique composition of ingredients; they have a low level of vitamins and active substances.
Manufacturers of conventional cosmetics adhere to the requirements for products aimed at widespread use among the population - they act only superficially, without penetrating into the deep layers of the skin. This helps to soften, temporarily moisturize and elasticize the skin, but does not have a healing and rejuvenating effect. Usually the prices for these cosmetics are budgetary.
