Medical Grade Skincare Products in Mason City, IA

The difference between over-the-counter skincare products and medical grade skincare products is all in the ingredients! You won’t find medical grade skincare products over the counter because of their strength. Only licensed, certified medical professionals can sell them.

As for the ingredients, medical grade skincare products contain:

• Stronger, more effective concentrations of active ingredients.
• The FDA requires 99.9% purity of all ingredients.

Most OTC products are not FDA-regulated for purity.

No, you can’t—because medical grade skincare products are not only stronger and more pure than OTC products, but they actually penetrate deeper into your skin layers.

OTC products sit on the first layer of skin. Medical grade products are formulated to penetrate more deeply below the surface, actually changing and improving the biology of your skin cells for longer-lasting results. That’s another reason why they can only be sold by licensed medical professionals.

Yes, you can combine medical grade products with OTC products—but be sure to talk to your Bare Sugar Med Spa provider first. You’ll need to discuss the specific products so that they don’t cancel each other out—or worse, cause reactions in your skin, including over-medication.

Frequently, makeup is OTC. But for truly therapeutic needs, we strongly advise you to use the more pure, more effective, FDA-regulated medical grade skincare products.
