Is Medical-Grade Skin Care Really Better?

Wading through the amount of skincare products available at the store and online can be overwhelming and exhausting. A major topic in the skincare community is if medical-grade skincare products are more effective. In short, the answer is yes.

Here’s why medical-grade skin care is better than over the counter skin care ✅

Medical-grade skin care is more potent, making it more effective.

Think of prescription medicine versus over the counter. A prescribed antibiotic will typically treat an illness much more effectively than a medicine you can buy off the shelf. We also know prescription strength medicine generally has much higher potency when compared to over-the-counter options, which is why a physician must prescribe it. If you are treating an infection, there is clinical evidence that the prescription medicine will fight it, whereas an over-the-counter medicine will not have the same effect. 

The same logic applies to medical-grade skin care! This type of skin care is formulated with higher concentrations of active ingredients. These ingredients are science-backed to produce significant results. 

Medical-grade skin care can also use types of ingredients (that over-the-counter products can’t use) that can penetrate the deeper layers of the skin to address skin concerns. Lastly, professional skin care lines have research and clinical evidence of the products producing significant results.
