Do your skin care products live up to the hype? When you spend time scrolling through social media, you are eventually going to fall prey to the latest and greatest, next big thing the (paid) influencers are raving about. But are they really everything they claim to be?
Constant bombarded with conflicting information makes it difficult to navigate the choices put in front of us. Is my favorite Ulta guilty pleasure really that effective? Can’t I buy a cleanser I find in the soap aisle at the food store while I’m there? Is Medical Grade Skin Care really worth it?
the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) does not regulate over the counter skin care products. OTC products are designed to work “on the majority of the population for a wide range of concerns and skin types without having a negative effect”. They are often significantly less expensive, but are not held to the same standards as medical grade products. For this reason, the concentration of the active ingredient in OTC skin care is low, consequently many contain low quality “filler” ingredients such as sulfates, silicones and parabens.
Unveiling the Power of Medical Grade Skincare
Over-the-counter vs. medical grade is about more than just a label. Medical grade skin care products are developed, researched and tested to ensure that they have correct amounts of active ingredients. Active ingredients are those necessary to elicit a change in your skin. Tailored to your skin concerns, medical grade products have higher amounts of active ingredients. They are closely regulated to ensure purity and are designed to penetrate the layers of the skin. To claim a certain action, medical grade skin care must have scientific evidence that the product does what it advertises. Over the counter products are not held to this standard.
Medical grade brands are formulated to be absorbed into the deepest layers of the skin, effecting change and boosting collagen. Over the counter brands don’t have the ability to affect more than the outermost layer.
