COSMECEUTICAL
This is a blend of cosmetic and pharmaceutical which has appeared only in the nineties. It’s a well-known term in the pharmaceutical business, which is still most commonly encountered in the USA, but is now increasingly being used elsewhere, and which is moving into more general contexts. It refers to a product which is marketed as a cosmetic, but which contains biologically active ingredients that have an effect on the user. Examples are anti-wrinkle creams, baldness treatments, moisturisers and sunscreens.

: Yes, Lise but if we have to say creams, gels, etc., then I think it would be better to leave out the word 'produit'. :)
