The Truth About 'Medical Grade' Skincare
By Dr. Lazuk, Co-Founder and CEO of Lazuk Cosmetics® | Esthetics® | Alpharetta, GA
Let me tell you something that the beauty industry would rather you didn't know.
"Medical grade" isn't a regulated term.
Anyone can put it on a label. There's no formal FDA classification that distinguishes medical-grade from regular skincare.
So what does it actually mean when it's used legitimately?
It refers to products formulated with higher concentrations of active ingredients… in delivery systems designed for deeper penetration… and typically distributed through or recommended by licensed professionals.
The accountability is in the professional behind the recommendation.
Not just the label.
What you should actually look for?
Clinical evidence behind the formulation. Transparent ingredient lists at therapeutic concentrations. And a formulator or practitioner who can explain why each ingredient is there.
That's the real standard.
May your skin glow as brightly as your smile.
