What Are Neurocosmetics? The Science of Beauty and the Brain

One of today’s most exciting breakthroughs in beauty is Belo Neurocosmetics—a new generation of facial treatments that enhance how your skin responds to stress, pollution, and aging. For the first time in the Philippines, Belo introduces this innovation, bringing the science of the brain–skin connection to your everyday glow.

What Are Neurocosmetics?

Neurocosmetics are products or treatments that interact with the skin’s nerve receptors to restore balance and improve its natural responses. Instead of simply covering up imperfections, they help your skin adapt to stress, inflammation, and external irritants making it calmer and healthier over time.

As Dr. Jen Sison de Leon, Managing Physician of Belo Greenbelt, explains: There’s a brain-skin axis involved.

“Your brain cells are constantly are communicating with your skin. Neurocosmetics target specific receptors, like those responsible for pigmentation, to address concerns such as melasma right at their source.”

How Neurocosmetics Work

Your skin is a powerful sensory organ connected directly to your brain through millions of nerve endings. When you experience stress, your brain releases hormones like cortisol—often leading to breakouts, dullness, or pigmentation.

Neurocosmetics help rebalance this communication.

“Neurocosmetics act as a middleman by cutting off the signal from the brain that triggers stress hormones—the ones that cause acne bacteria to grow,” says Dr. JP Jalandoni, Associate Physician of Belo Greenbelt. “If stress induces your breakouts, Neurocosmetics help control your acne not just on the surface, but on a deeper level.”

This means that neurocosmetics not only calm and repair the skin externally but also regulate internal triggers that contribute to breakouts, dullness, or premature aging. Over time, the skin becomes more resilient, balanced, and less reactive.

Gentle and Natural

Another advantage of neurocosmetics is their use of gentle, plant-powered ingredients. These biocompatible actives—rich in antioxidants, growth factors, and microbiome-balancing compounds—help repair and strengthen the skin barrier while promoting natural healing.

That’s why Belo’s approach to Neurocosmetics combines biotechnology with nature’s most soothing elements. Perfect for sensitive, reactive, or post-procedure skin.
