Dao, I agree that the whole thing can be really confusing. Unless one of the ingredients used has therapeutical properties, it really depends a lot on how the company markets a product and the claim they make. That’s why products with ingredients such as retinol can be considered both a cosmetic and drugs depending on the promises they make. I think it gets ridiculous sometimes and that there should be clearer rules.

We have vitamin A, which is considered to be a drug and a supplement. But as retinol, it is also an ingredient in cosmetics. Hyaluronic acid is another example. Currently, the FDA does not regulate on cosmetics and supplements. Remember Latisse? It used to be a non-prescription item until the FDA found out the active ingredient is used in a type of eye drop.
