What’s the Difference Between Drug Store and Professional Skincare?

There is a common misconception about skincare, more specifically the difference between drug store and professional skincare.

Let us tell you the raw honest truth about the differences between the two.

Now look, we always want to be completely transparent with our lovely clients, the main differences your going to notice when comparing the two types of skin care is:

Concentration of the Formula
How Deep the Product Penetrates the Skin

P.S. There is nothing wrong with using drug store products, if that is what has worked for you, we are not here to judge. This is just a comparison for you guys to understand why professional skincare is talked so highly of.

Professional Skincare

These professional products are formulated by chemists etc. and tested thoroughly to ensure quality!

They also contain a higher concentrated formula which makes them create faster and more effective results.

Things to consider:

Professional products are usually sold exclusively at spas or by estheticians, making them slightly harder to get your hands on and less accessible that way.

They also can be more on the pricier side due to the quality and concentration of the products.

All in all, professional products are awesome! A little goes a long way with these products, and they won’t disappoint. The long term results in your skin will speak for itself!

Our talented estheticians can help to personalize the perfect routine fitted just for your skin!

Drug Store Products

Drug Store products are often made in mass amounts and filled with preservatives to keep them “fresh” longer.

Drug store products have a lower concentration of active ingredients making them more of a surface level product and taking a bit longer to see results or drastic improvement.

Things to keep in mind:

They are a lower cost, widely available, but remember that your results may come slower.

Drug store products can be great if you are not looking for drastic improvement or wanting to stay in a lower price range. But, they are still great products despite their low ingredient concentration.
