Why Choose Medical Grade Skincare?
While over-the-counter skincare products can work well on the surface layer of the skin, there are many advantages to investing in clinically proven medical grade products, particularly if you are looking to target specific skin concerns and achieve a more youthful, fresher looking complexion.
What is Medical Grade Skincare?
Cosmetic skincare products that can be purchased over the counter only work on the outermost layer of the skin to deliver superficial results. However, medical grade skincare products, which are also sometimes referred to as cosmeceutical skincare, are designed to penetrate the deeper layers of the skin to correct damage and promote lasting health.
Now, this is not to say that cosmetic skincare products are worthless, however, they cannot compete with their medical grade counterparts when it comes to correcting skin damage, promoting the production of new and healthier skin cells, and targeting the visible signs of ageing.
This is because medical grade skincare products are formulated with higher concentrations of potent active ingredients, which have the power to protect, stimulate and control the skin, giving transformational results that last. Additionally, they have been clinically tested to determine how effectively they address the skin concerns they have been formulated to treat.
Are Medical Grade Skincare Products Better Than Over-The-Counter Products?
As with any product, not all brands are equal. However, the best medical grade skincare products are formulated with highly stable ingredients and utilise innovative absorption mechanisms to ensure that the active ingredients can successfully penetrate to the deeper layers of the skin.
While it is possible to find some over-the-counter skincare products with good ingredients, the potent formulation of medical grade products means that they are more likely to deliver noticeable, long-lasting results in a shorter time frame.
