If you have become overwhelmed while navigating the skincare realm you are not alone. Skin care products have become one of the leading consumer-driven health platforms in recent years. We suspect that this is due to ads on social media platforms, TV commercials, pyramid schemes, and even posters and pamphlets in physician offices. Unregulated access to products boasting to provide "proven results," with no scientific backing or regulation of ingredients can cause burning, redness, scarring, and irreversible skin damage.

Access to these dermatological products used to only be by pharmacist recommendation, or by dermatology and aesthetic clinicians through their offices who provided the product to you at the end of your education session and visit. Now, countless websites, discount stores, and even non-authorized online and clinical businesses sell these products. Not only can these be expired or counterfeit, the products that boast the biggest results truly should only be used under the supervision of a medical clinician. Not all skin types and needs are created equal. For example, at home acid peels, strong retinol products, anti-aging serums, and prescription skin care lines can cause severe contact dermatitis in certain skin types. This can leave you with irreversible scarring, an empty pocket, and disappointment in regard to your results.

New patient appointments with dermatology and aesthetic providers promise long appointment availability wait times, and frequently, long commutes to be seen in a timely matter. This is without even considering that most practices are overwhelmed with patients, leaving a great deal of skin care product education and recommendations on the back burner when you experience your appointment.
