Quick Answers
What are cosmeceuticals?
Cosmeceuticals are products that bridge the gap between cosmetics and pharmaceuticals, containing biologically active ingredients designed to deliver clinically proven benefits to the skin, such as improving texture, reducing pigmentation, or treating acne.
What brands of cosmeceuticals do you stock?
We carry leading cosmeceutical brands including Medik8, Dermalogica, and asap — all sourced from authorised Australian distributors.
What is the difference between a cosmeceutical and a regular skincare product?
Cosmeceuticals contain active ingredients at higher concentrations than standard skincare, making them more effective for targeting specific skin concerns like acne, ageing, and hyperpigmentation.
Are cosmeceuticals suitable for sensitive skin?
Many cosmeceuticals are formulated for sensitive skin, but it's important to patch test and introduce new actives gradually. We recommend consulting a skin therapist if you're unsure.
Do cosmeceuticals require a prescription?
No, cosmeceuticals are available over the counter, but they do contain higher-strength active ingredients than standard skincare. Always follow the usage instructions provided.
Can I use multiple cosmeceuticals together?
Yes, but layering actives requires care. Avoid combining highly acidic products with retinol in the same routine without guidance. Many cosmeceutical brands offer regimens designed to be used together.
Do you offer free shipping on cosmeceuticals?
Yes! We offer free express shipping on all orders over $150 to anywhere in Australia. Orders are dispatched quickly from our Sydney warehouse.
