There is no definitive scientific research or studies available that directly investigate the impact of using skincare products on the efficacy of Cosentyx (secukinumab) [1]. Cosentyx is a prescription medication used to treat several conditions, such as plaque psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis, and ankylosing spondylitis [2].

It is generally recommended that patients using biologic medications like Cosentyx follow their healthcare provider's instructions carefully regarding skincare and other concomitant treatments [3]. Some skincare products may contain ingredients that could potentially interact with the medication or impact its absorption, but there is no specific information available regarding Cosentyx [4].

In summary, while there is no direct evidence that skincare products affect Cosentyx's efficacy, it is always best for patients to consult with their healthcare provider before starting or continuing any new skincare or other treatments while on prescription medications [5].
