Overall, 51 participants has been participated in the study with 94.1% of them was female, and 98.0% of them age ranged within 21-23 years old. All of the respondents were second year students from IIUM. The mean +standard deviation (SD) for knowledge before cosmetics subject was taught was 4.80 + 1.811 while after the subject was taught was 7.96 + 0.999. The increment in level of knowledge was significant (p <0.001). Meanwhile, the mean + standard deviation (SD) for confidence to counsel on cosmetics-related cases before cosmetics subject was taught was 47.94 + 8.613 while after the subject was taught was 58.82 + 5.070.
