Is there a difference between between medical-grade skincare products and over-the-counter products?

Yes, yes there is!

OTC products may do the work if you're hoping to temporarily treat dry or oily skin. But if you're looking to treat skin conditions like inflammation, wrinkles, pigmentation, and so on, you'll need medical-grade skincare.

Medical-grade skincare products use highly stabilized, highly active, and highly effective ingredients in their purest structure. They are made of tiny product molecules that are able to penetrate your skin, changing its biological structure. These products are only available through licensed professionals, because they are potent enough to produce real results that go beyond surface-level improvements.

Over-the-counter products, on the other hand, contain an exceptionally low concentration of active ingredients. They are made of larger product molecules that just sit on the surface of your skin. This means that their effects may be limited and temporary, as they are ultimately shed with the skin's natural turnover.

Finding the right skincare product for your specific concerns can be daunting to say the least. At CLC, our experts are here to guide you through the confusing world of skincare and help you find the perfect routine for your unique concerns.
