Many patients ask: “Why should I invest in SkinMedica when I can buy skincare at the store?” The answer is simple: medical-grade skincare works. At Denver Dream Medspa, we help patients understand why SkinMedica outperforms drugstore or department store brands.

Key Differences

Over-the-Counter (OTC) Skincare:

  • Lower concentrations of active ingredients.

  • Limited penetration into the skin.

  • Lots of fragrance and filler ingredients.

  • Results often temporary or inconsistent.

SkinMedica:

  • Medical-grade concentrations for real results.

  • Formulated to penetrate deeper into skin layers.

  • Backed by clinical research and dermatologist-recommended.

  • Targets specific conditions like pigmentation, fine lines, and loss of elasticity.
