This Valentine’s Day,we’retaking our love for ourderm-grade products to the next level by highlighting why we always steer our patients toward clinical-grade skincare brands. With products thatare able topenetrate deep into the skin’s layers and produce quality results, we choose to have a wide variety of brands at hand to allow us to tailor our suggestions to eachindividual patients’ needs.
What Is Derm Grade?
Ourderm-grade products (also called medical or clinical-grade) areproveneffective.They’vepassed Food and Drug Administration (FDA) inspection through controlled and double-blind trials. This means that the participants and researchersdon’tknow which product participants are getting until after the trial, so the results are less biased.It’sone of the gold standards in the scientific community for proving a product works.
Regular Products
Non-derm grade products sold in supermarkets, drug stores, and online are self-regulatedby the cosmetic industry. This means they can make wild claims about how good they are with no evidenceto back it up. Yikes.
Consumers Lose
It’sthe consumers who lose when they are left experimenting withdifferent productsthat may or may not work as advertised. Plus,it’sfrustrating and expensive to buy a product for a specific condition and then have it not work.
The Advantage of Derm-Grade Skincare Brands
Derm-grade skincare can penetrate deeper layers of skin. So, when you buy, say, retinol that’smedical-grade, you know the collagen and elastin in your skin is being repaired at the deepest level possible with a topical product.
Are Derm-Grade Products More Expensive
Yes, and no. While you will pay more for the actual bottle of product,it’sless expensivethan having a drawer full of products that you spent good money on butdidn’twork for you. Withderm-grade products, you know they work because they passed a thorough FDA inspection.
Derm-Grade Products Are a Better Value
At our clinic, we believe ourderm-grade products offer our patients excellent value for many reasons, including that youdon’tneed to experiment with severaldifferent typesof routines.Instead,you can save money with:
- A productthat’sspecificallymatchedyour needs. (You can always ask your dermatologist for a recommendation, whichthey’rehappy to give).
- The active ingredients inderm-grade products can be stronger andcontainhigher levels of ingredients like antioxidants, retinol, and peptides that lead to more noticeable results.
You Only Need a Few
Just a few of our keyderm-grade products are plenty to keep your skin looking its best. We recommend you make sure your serums arederm-grade, especially Vitamin-C serum. If you want to treat a specific problem, like melasma spots, also make sure your products arederm-grade.
