Many may wonder what the difference is between skincare products available in drug stores, department stores, and physicians offices? Skincare products available through physicians offices are often referred to as “medical grade”. Medical grade products have the highest percentages of active ingredients. Drug store brands have the lowest quality of ingredients as well as the lowest percentage of active ingredients. It is unlikely you will see drastic changes in your skin with those products. Department stores have products that may be a little better, but you are paying more for the advertising and packaging than the science that went into the product.
The additional benefit of purchasing medical-grade products is the education you receive. Medical Aestheticians discuss all of your concerns and take many factors into consideration when determining a skincare regimen for you.
