About

Phenacemide is an anticonvulsant drug used in the treatment of epilepsy, belonging to the phenylacetylurea class. It has no established or assessed cosmetic use under EU Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 or by the SCCS. As a systemic drug with significant pharmacological activity (including severe side effects such as agranulocytosis and hepatic toxicity in its pharmaceutical context), it would be entirely unsuitable for topical cosmetic application.
