How is Medical-Grade Skincare Better for Your Skin?
The skincare market is flooded with products ranging from familiar drugstore brands to niche products from small manufacturers. However, medical-grade skincare products stand out for many reasons. These products are developed with extensive research by scientists, dermatologists, and others to produce the most effective skincare available.

What is Medical-Grade Skincare?
Medical-grade skincare products are targeted, scientifically researched formulas that contain high concentrations of ingredients. Because they are more powerful than off-the-shelf products, they are typically sold by dermatologists and other medical experts who can help people choose the right skincare for their skin.
Dr. Rankin and his team offer Skinceuticals products, one of the most widely-known and most-loved brands of professional skincare. Skinceuticals offers products targeted to almost any skin concern, from signs of aging to acne and breakouts. They also offer innovative Alastin Skincare products to help transform your skin.
How is Medical-Grade Skincare Better for Your Skin?
While medical-grade skincare comes with a higher price tag than off-the-shelf products, the results are worth it for most people. These products offer several benefits over less advanced options.
Backed by Science
Each Skinceuticals product comes from an extensive development process. Each ingredient used in medical-grade skincare has been researched, tested, and established as effective. Scientists also introduce innovative ingredients not available from more widely available brands.
Better, More Concentrated Ingredients
While your skincare product may contain important ingredients such as retinol, many do not tell you how much of these they contain. As a result, they may only have tiny amounts of the compound you want. Medical-grade ingredients are far more concentrated to deliver more potent results.

More Stable, Effective Formulas
Not all versions of an ingredient have the same properties. Compounds in professional skincare come in their most easily absorbed and most powerful form. They are also tested for stability so your product does not lose its potency before you have used much of it.
Boost Your Cosmetic Procedure Results
Whether you choose one of our surgical or non-surgical treatment options, Skinceuticals products can help your results last longer and improve them over time. No matter which treatment you choose, the right skincare products are a key component of your maintenance.
Transform Your Skin Over Time
When you invest in a medical-grade skincare routine, you will notice that your skin concerns dramatically improve over time. While these products cannot duplicate the effects of an in-office treatment or surgery, they can help you see clearer, smoother, more luminous skin at home.
How to Find the Best Medical-Grade Skincare for Me
During your consultation, we can discuss your skincare concerns and goals in order to recommend the best products for your needs. Skinceuticals makes assembling a routine easy with convenient kits, or we can help you build your own customized program. Medical-grade skincare and superior cosmetic results go hand in hand.
