Relapses in skin care – How to handle them?

Summary: Relapses in skin care and dermatology, that occur after a successful treatment phase, are not untypical and mostly caused by an interaction of several factors. Culturally grown habits in skin care, hygiene, but also influences of the everyday life at workplace and in the household play a decisive role at that. Even in the medication important facts are ignored, with the consequence that later relapses are supported or treatment successes are annihilated. The adjuvant corneotherapy...

When are anti-aging actives really efficient?

Summary: Neither prominent names nor high dosages are a guarantee for the efficacy of anti-aging actives. There are lots of promises but reality is different. By taking the example of three well-established active agents, their theoretically possible effects and the prerequisites for optimal effects are explained. Hyaluronic acid, the retinoids represented by vitamin A, as well as vitamin C still hold the top positions together with the latest anti-aging developments. A comparative survey...

Cosmetic dermatology and dermatological cosmetics

Summary: As recently as several years ago, retailers received warning letters when they ran sales promotions on dermatological cosmetics. In the meantime however it has turned out that sustainable cosmetic preparations are unthinkable without involving dermatological and physiological knowledge. By the same token, dermatology also uses cosmetic compositions in the treatment of patients – without the adverse effects of conventional pharmaceutical drugs. Medical products with cosmetic...

Facts on anti-aging agents

Summary: Cosmetic industry has a long tradition in selling anti-aging products. Today’s abundant supply of different product compositions, active agents and procedures however prompts the question what specific preparation or measure has superficial, temporary, substantial or sustainable effects against the symptoms of skin aging. Also the number of scientific studies has skyrocketed and not every study published is backed by reality. It has become difficult to keep track of the facts. The...

Specialists for beautiful skin

The skin care market is big and the variety of products is immense. Some products are available in drugstores for a few cents only while others are sold via teleshopping channels or only available in pharmacies. Consumers are faced with questions like ‘What cream is appropriate for my skin?' or ‘Which of these products is worth its salt?' ‘Cosmetic preparations are a matter of confidence', says Dr. Lautenschläger. Only in very rare cases, consumers know what...

"About growing older - and what do men think about it"

How do you personally handle the aging process?At my age (almost 69), you don't think too much about growing older. After I overcame cancer eight years ago, I am looking forward to every new morning and to my activity as a managing retiree. Could you describe which woman and which man positively handles the aging process - and why?Many elderly women almost have a mask-like appearance and their individuality is lost in a kind of uniform beauty which is exchangeable and also seems boring. The...

Interview with Kosmetik International

Where do you see the cosmetic sector in the next ten years? The cosmetic sector will continue with its medical approach; cosmeceuticals and the device-based treatment are on the rise. With the increasing liability risk, the co-operations of cosmeticians and cosmetic doctors will be expanded. What kind of developments, trends, challenges are to be expected in general? The natural cosmetics sector will further grow with its sometimes rather arbitrary quality labels. Nevertheless, the emphasis...

Undesirable side effects

When skin care causes allergy or intolerance ingredients frequently are the troublemakers. Decisive (co)factors such as the individual constitution of the skin, accidental exogenous influences, choice of inappropriate products, forms of overdoing skin care and not least the psyche often are overlooked.

Rosacea - a challenge for the cosmetic care (in German)

Rosacea is a partially inherent, multifactorial problem that is exacerbated by external influences. In conventional medical treatment skin regeneration and anti-inflammatory, anti-erythemal and antimicrobial drugs are in the foreground. Cosmetic measures aim to stabilize the superficial capillaries and the skin barrier in the long term and largely keep out exogenous triggers of rosacea. Specific problems such as increased sensitivity to cosmetics - in particular O/W emulsions - are discussed....
