Dexamfetamine is a cosmetic ingredient used in product formulations. Its specific function may vary between products. Exercise caution due to limited available safety data.

Dexamfetamine (also spelled dexamphetamine) is a CNS stimulant listed as a controlled substance in most jurisdictions. It has no history of safe cosmetic use and is classified as a prescription-only medicine. The EU Cosmetics Regulation explicitly prohibits substances not authorised for cosmetic use, and amphetamines fall squarely in the pharmaceutical category.

Known concerns

  • Controlled substance / prescription medicine with no cosmetic use
  • Serious cardiovascular risks (tachycardia, hypertension)
  • Neurological effects including addiction potential
  • Banned in cosmetic products under EU Regulation 1223/2009
