What is medical-grade skincare, and why is it important?

Medical grade skincare offers a higher potency of grade-A ingredients, which gives a quicker delivery system to penetrate the layers of your skin. The best Medical Grade skincare consists of natural, pure ingredients with no chemicals or fillers and contains easily absorbed carrier agents. Medical Grade skincare is essential because you will see a significantly more impactful transformation of your skin rather than using over-the-counter products.

If you had to choose, what would be your MUST HAVE Medical Grade Skincare product/products for clients? 

A combination of Hyaluronic acid and Vitamin C serum. Hyaluronic acid helps increase skin moisture and reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Vitamin C is a potent antioxidant that helps neutralize toxins and brightens the skin. This combination leaves your skin rejuvenated and younger-looking.  

What Medical Grade skincare product would everyone benefit from as they age?

Retinol, because it helps the surface of your skin cells turn over. We have an excellent one that is non-irritating and doesn’t dry your skin out!
