What’s the difference between over the counter products and Medical grade?

You may be wondering why you would pay say £65 for an anti ageing serum that’s medical grade when you could pop down to the boots and get something that promises great results for half that price if not less! Well here’s why!

Made for the mass’s

Over the counter products are made for the mass’s, so they don’t know who could be buying that product, it could be someone with the most sensitive of skin types.

For this reason it is not possible to add any ingredients that could potentially irritate the skin, therefore keeping strengths low and using buffers is essential which also means gaining the desired results from these products is unlikely.

They pack a punch

Medical grade products contain high strength potent ingredients that can pack quite a punch but they also target specific skin concerns. they also have unique delivery systems such as encapsulation meaning the active ingredients are protected as they are delivered deeper in to skin and released slowly.

Professional support

With a medical grade product you get the benefit of the support of a licensed skincare professional in guiding you in the right direction into product selection for your needs and exactly how to use your products to achieve results safely and effectively. They are not a one products fits all like OTC products.

You will also avoid spending loads of money trying different products over the years that don’t work to products that last much longer and deliver results!
