There are thousands of skin care products available and it’s easy to get overwhelmed. At VIDA, we’re often asked if those tiny creams that cost hundreds or even thousands of dollars are worth it, or if there’s a “secret” drugstore brand that works like a miracle. The reality is that the best skin care products are medical-grade and should only be purchased through a trusted source like the VIDA online skin care shop. There are certainly some drugstore brands that are better than others, but legally only medical-grade products can carry certain ingredients that truly work for your skin and at higher dosage levels. You simply can’t find the same quality, ingredients, and concentrations in non-medical-grade brands.

This is also true for those high-end luxury products you might find in certain department stores. Just because an ingredient is costly (such as gold or caviar) doesn’t mean it actually does anything for the skin. If you want proven results, it’s always best to trust products that are deemed medical-grade and have years of research behind them. However, you also want to be certain to only purchase these products from reputable clinics—otherwise, you may be buying an unknown and possible useless formulation.

Order Your Stocking Stuffers Today

Medical-grade skin care products make fantastic stocking stuffers! It’s always best to get a customized recommendation from a dermatologist or esthetician to ensure you’re getting the best products for your skin, but some products will almost certainly work for all skin types. This includes options like sunscreen, which should always be broadband and at least 30 SPF. Sunscreen needs to be worn year-round, including in the winter months, so picking up some EltaMD sunscreens for stocking stuffers is a good move for anyone.
