Over-the-counter vs. medical-grade skincare

There are many benefits to using medical-grade skincare products over their over-the-counter counterparts.

Results: Because medical-grade skincare products are more potent and pure, they are more likely to produce results. Whether you want to treat a specific skin concern or improve the overall appearance of your skin, medical-grade products are a great option.

Potency: Medical-grade skincare products are more potent and effective than over-the-counter products. This is because they are held to a higher standard by the FDA and must undergo extensive testing before they hit the market.

Quality: Medical-grade skincare products are made with higher-quality ingredients and are held to a higher manufacturing standard. This means they are usually more expensive than over-the-counter products, but the quality is worth the investment.

Safety: When used as directed, medical-grade skincare products are safe for both the skin and the body. This is not always the case with over-the-counter products, which can contain harmful chemicals and other ingredients that can cause side effects.

Purity: Medical-grade skincare products are also held to a higher standard regarding purity. This means they are free of harmful chemicals and toxins that can cause irritation, dryness, and other skin problems.
