Medical-Grade Skincare Products
What is the difference between Over-The-Counter Vs Medical-Grade-Skincare Products
It’s all about results. Over the counter skincare products are intended to treat all skin types while their medical-grade counterparts are hyper-focused on treating specific skin conditions. These FDA approved skincare products are formulated with high concentrations of pure, clinically-tested ingredients, while over-the-counter skincare products often contain fillers to increase volume and profits. Medical-grade skincare products are typically prescribed by doctors or made available through dermatology offices and medical-spa facilities overseen by physicians. Skincare products found at the local Sephora or Ulta Beauty are intended to treat surface conditions while professional-grade skincare solutions penetrate deep into the skin to stimulate healing.
The FDA regulates medical-grade skincare products, ensuring that formulas contain ingredients that are considered 99.9% pure by law. Before being prescribed to the public, medical-grade products must be proven through scientific studies to show actual beneficial effects. If a skin cream says it helps treat eye wrinkles, it must be demonstrated over multiple studies to reduce fine lines and wrinkles. On the other hand, over-the-counter cosmetics can make unsubstantiated claims that don’t need to show actual results.
