Skin care products can be pricey. You want products that work for your skin at the best price–we all do! So, what is the difference between Cosmeceutical products and over-the-counter…and is one better than the other?
Let’s start with some much needed information. Your skin has two layer: the top layer called the epidermis, and the bottom layer called the dermis. To get the skin you want, products need to penetrate to the dermis where the collagen and elastin are. New skin cells are also produced in the dermis.
Cosmeceutical products, like those available at a spa, salon…and of course SkinMedix.com, can do just that! They can penetrate to the dermis because of their active ingredients. They are well formulated and tested so the product can reach the new skin cells. The active ingredients are those that actually do something beneficial for your skin, be it reduce wrinkles or pigmentation, prevent acne, or hydrate. The level of penetration cosmeceutical products can accomplish is going to prevent loss of collagen and elastin (both signs of aging) because they work on live tissue. A professional will recommend the cosmeceutical products that work best for your skin type.
Over-the-counter products are those that you can purchase at any drug store or convenience store. The FDA approved over-the-counter products work on the outermost layer of skin. They have minimal results that take a longer time to see. Over-the-counter products are usually very affordable due to the ineffectiveness (= low cost) of the ingredients. Most often it is the advertising that you are paying for, not a quality product.
To achieve the skin you want, cosmeceutical products will give you the BEST results, hands down. It may be more of an investment, but you use less, and they work better!
