AB  - Skin  cosmeceuticals  represent  an  interesting  realm  between  dermatologic  drugs  and  cosmetics.  Traditional  drugs  are  products  designed  to  treat  skin  disease  available  only  by  prescription.  On  the  other  hand,  cosmetics  are  used  to  scent,  adorn,  and  color  the  skin  without  the  intent  of  altering  its  structure  or  function.  New  understandings  of  skin  physiology,  novel  raw  materials,  clever  formulations,  and  increased  consumer  awareness  of  skin  aging  have  resulted  in  a  poorly  defined  category  of  dermatologics  known  as  cosmeceuticals.  Cosmeceuticals  are  of  particular  interest  in  the  ethnic  population,  since  skin  ashiness,  facial  skin  shine,  antiaging  photoprotection,  and  irregular  pigmentation  are  of  key  importance.  Improvement  in  all  of  these  appearance  related  areas  could  only  be  achieved  through  an  understanding  of  the  ingredients  combined  to  deliver  an  identified  skin  benefit.  This  chapter  focuses  on  the  use  of  cosmeceuticals  in  ethnic  skin.
