I hear this all the time, let's break it down!

Medical Grade Skincare or Professional Skincare, only means that it is sold through doctors offices and med spas. There is no regulation behind the words used for marketing cosmeceuticals. But is a Ferrari the same as a Toyota Corolla because they are both cars with 4 wheels?

Let's break it down today

Here is a great video by a skincare blogger comparing multiple L Ascorbic acid serums, testing their pH. Some were less and some were more expensive:    • Why Your Vitamin C Isn't Working!

  • Thank you for telling me that La Roche Posay test on animals, I wasn’t aware of it.

    Thank you for your love of science and compassion. You are a wonderful resource! I’m an ER doc and totally agree about the Hippocratic oath! Totally surprised that some schools don’t take it on graduation!😢
  • I really enjoy your non-nonsense content. I can see why the number of followers are growing. I admire your dedication and honesty as you do the research and deep dive into products.
  • Been here with you since the beginning and I love your content! I oddly think I’ve saved money since switching to medical grade! I used to have a horrible habit of buying “more affordable” skincare product after product until I had a stash of all these potions that didn’t help my skin at all! Another amazing aspect about medical grade is that truly a little bit goes a long way! 🧘‍♀️💕 congrats on almost 5k!!!

  • Your channel recently popped in my You Tube. i looking for a good skin regimen ( I had been using department store products, but not happy with how my skin feels and looks ) I saw and esthetician who recommended some of the products ( Skin Better) you recommend. I was feeling anti hesitant about the $ but I now understand that research and formulation are behind these products. Thank you for this video and for my skin, I will shoot for the Ferrari! 😊

    Congratulations on the growth of your channel ! Another amazing video .
  • I started ZO last November. I've felt like I'm outcasted by society when I read/hear all the negativity surrounding medical-grade skincare i.e. doesn't work, just a marketing scheme, you're wasting your money, better or just as effective drugstore products etc...the comments are endless. Thank you for explaining in such simple terms❤
  • @mdpeach
    Fantastic video! I’ve used Dr. Kappel’s products and love the barrier repair moisturizer. Also, It is so important to have someone like you on YouTube providing this valuable information.
