Discover why medical skincare is better

These days, it’s hard to miss the commercials and ads for over-the-counter skincare products that promise to make your skin more youthful and with so many options, you may not feel the need to turn to medical skincare. We at Carter MD Aesthetics stand by medical-grade skincare products, however, and there are two main reasons why: active ingredients and proven results.

While you can find plenty of wrinkle-reducing and skin-smoothing ingredients in department store products and while they may help a little, they’re no match for the active ingredients in products by SkinMedica, Jan Marini, Neova, and more. Medical-grade products boast ingredients like peptides, antioxidants, amino acids, proteins, clarifiers, exfoliants, and brightening agents and the quantity of these is much higher than even the highest quality over-the-counter products. This means when you use repair cream, moisturizer, brightening lotion, or another product for your skin, you’re actually treating it to additives that work.

When it comes to over-the-counter products, it can be tough to choose the best one to buy because most don’t offer results that prove they work. With medical-grade products, however, you can find studies and reviews from real users that confirm their effects. When it comes down to it, medical products can provide better protection, hydration, and overall care for your skin.

If you’ve never tried medical-grade skincare products, now is the perfect time to! Visit our products page to learn more about what we offer and if you have any questions, don’t hesitate to call us!
