How to decipher the difference!
♦️Medically licensed skincare have a higher concentration of active ingredients and have to prove activity on their indications. If there is an active ingredient in an over the counter cosmetic product, there just may not be enough of it to have an effect, or it may take much longer to get an effect. It’s more a case of what works best for you and can vary on your skin type and condition.
♦️It’s all about the layers – Cosmetic can only make claims about changing the appearance of the skin whereas medical skin products penetrate the skin cross the dermal epidermal junction and change the structure or behaviour of the skin. Medically licensed products skincare can only be prescribed – or advised by a medically lead clinic ie a Dr or Nurse. With one of the biggest benefits being ongoing support. Along with high research standards, purity and safety regulated by the FDA.
♦️FDA (food and drug administration) only consider two category types of skincare – cosmetic and pharmaceutical grade. To be clear ‘cosmeceutical’ has no meaning under the law!
♦️Medical licensed – not necessarily more expensive – they work and you need to use less of them due to higher active ingredients and concentration. Also no big advertising campaigns – fancy marketing – pretty packaging. Investment is in products that have been researched and developed with precision and accuracy to achieve an evident aesthetic benefit for many skin conditions.
