@ashley_breaks_beauty: “Medical-grade skincare” sounds impressive…but it’s not actually a regulated category. There’s no official definition of medicosmetic or medical-grade skincare in the U.S….which means brands can use it freely. So what are you really paying for? In most cases, these products do include: Higher concentrations of active ingredients (like retinol, glycolic acid, vitamin C) More advanced formulations and delivery systems Clinical-style positioning and marketing But here’s the part that matters: The label doesn’t guarantee better results…the formula does. Things like ingredient %, stability, and how well your skin can actually absorb the product matter way more than whether it’s called “medical-grade.” Some medicosmetic products are incredible. Some are just really good branding. Comment “PART 2” if you want me to break down which medicosmetic brands are actually worth the money! #medicosmetic #clinicalskincare #dermskincare #medicalskincare #skincareroutine
