Professional vs Drugstore

Why by professional brand skin care?

Drugstore products are made to work for a large population and are watered down so as not to cause adverse reactions in the majority. Almost anyone can pick a drugstore product up off the shelf and use it even if it's not for their skin condition and it will not cause too much harm.

The FDA regulates ingredient concentrations for drug store and professional skin care lines. Because professional products are "prescribed" they have higher concentrations of active ingredients and less water. Professional products are made using ingredients that are better for the skin and are more concentrated; therefore, you will use much less product, in turn, saving you money. Professional products, like Dermalogica, are only prescribed by licensed skin care professionals to address each person's specific need. Used correctly, results are apparent immediately.
