Refer to skincare products that offer additional benefits beyond basic moisturizing, such as improving skin health and addressing specific concerns like aging or acne. They are formulated with active ingredients designed to deliver therapeutic effects to the skin.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
