Skincare Products
Do you buy skincare products by perusing Sephora’s aisles, watching TikTok videos, listening to Podcasts or reading Goop articles? Don’t. Instead shop medical-grade skincare products that have been curated by board-certified dermatologist Dr. Jenna Queller.
Medical-Grade vs. Over-The-Counter Skincare Products
There are a few key differences when it comes to medical-grade skincare versus over the counter.
- Medical-grade skincare products have higher concentration of active ingredients than what you can find over the counter.
- Most medical-grade companies will use highly stabilized ingredients that last longer and take longer to degrade. Many of them also use more involved mechanisms of absorption to enhance delivery to deeper areas of skin.
- Medical-grade skincare products are subject to more thorough and rigorous testing.
- Medical-grade skincare products are designed to address specific medical conditions and needs, such as acne or wrinkles.
Some mainstream over-the-counter brands may tout their retinol serum or night cream as an incredible skin-transforming product, but sometimes there are trace amounts of actives surrounded by synthetic additives, a false claim medical-grade brands don’t stand behind.
The bottom line is medical grade skin care products are made of better ingredients, have higher concentration levels of the active ingredient, are subject to more rigorous testing, and most importantly produce better results. We have selected two brands to offer our patients: Revision Skincare and SkinCeuticals. Learn more about each brand and shop online.
