At Kosmomo Beauty, we carefully select high performance, effective skincare products from South Korea, Japan and Europe professional skincare brands. These products are mostly used and sold by local estheticians and dermatology department... What exactly is a professional skincare line? and Why do Kosmomo Beauty prefer professional skincare products opposed to over-the-counter (OTC) skincare products?

​

Here are a few aspects where professional skincare products are different:

 

• Professional products have limited productions and accessibility 

 

OTC skincare products are cheaper as they are produced in large batches and the savings are passed on to the consumer. They are generally available at counters and shopping malls.

​

Professional skincare products are produced in smaller batches with fresher and more precious ingredients with fewer preservatives. These products are generally available in dermatology or spa/ beauty salons. 

​

• Professional products are FORMULATED with more concentrated, high-quality, active ingredients 

​

Products from traditional OTC lines are formulated with some lipids, water and water-soluble ingredients (such as thickeners, moisturizers, emollients, skin conditioners), emulsifiers, preservatives, flavors and fragrances, and contain little to none biologically active functional ingredients. OTC lines are backed with tons of money in advertising and marketing and invest less in research and development (R&D)

 

Products from professional lines, however, are based on the physiological mechanism of the skin. They are designed based on scientific dermal research, and they do not contain fillers, dyes or inexpensive oils that can clog the pores and cause irritation. They contain much more concentrated biologically active ingredients that truly target various skin problems. Professional line products are backed with tons of money in R&D. In this case, you do truly get what you pay for.

 

• Professional products functionally improve skin structure 

 

Skincare products from OTC lines that are often used mostly stay on the surface of the skin, which basically does not affect the skin structure and function. Only a few products that contain biologically active ingredients can reach into deeper skin layers. OTC skincare products mainly modify and beautify skin superficially with low efficacy and performance.

​

Skincare products from professional lines contain more natural active ingredients, which have positive influence on the skin structure, thus truly improve the skin.

​

• Professional products are formulated with both safety and efficacy

 

 OTC skincare lines give priority to safety over efficacy, whereas professional skincare lines offer both safety and efficacy by including natural plant extracts, minerals and active spring water, etc. in their formulations. By repeated research and clinical user testing, both safety and efficacy are guaranteed.

 

💢Note: Professional skincare products do require specific operation when used for the best results, please read direction carefully as it will affect the overall result. 

💢Note: Professional skincare products are used according to course of treatments. For example, for any treatment kits, it is best to use for a recommended period and number of kits for better results.​

 

​

• Choose products from OTC line or professional line

 

Because skincare products from professional line have strong efficacy, they can improve the skin for different skin problems.

​
