Skin Care Products Used By Medical Professionals

It slices, it dices, and it will make your bed! Alas, such fanciful claims are both the stuff of late night television and skin care products. Ditch it all and read on to see what doctors use for skin care treatments.

Skin Care Products Used By Medical Professionals

Your skin is one of the first things people see, so caring for it is critical. The problem, however, is you are inundated with different products that supposedly are the big breakthrough to skin care. Alas, most of them are not. Instead of treating the underlying problems giving rise to blotchiness, pigmentation issues or blocked pores, they cover up the problem. While this may work short term, it means you will have to continually purchase and use their product. Hmmmfunny how that happens!

If you have skin care issues that significantly impact your appearance, you need to clean out your bathroom and stick with the basics. In this case, we are talking about the products used by doctors. Let's take a look.

1. Vitamin C Creams - The most basic of products, but they work. Vitamin C creams are boring, but very important. First, they block the chemical reaction that causes skin damage when exposed to the sun. Second, the creams stimulate the collagen production in the dermis, which smoothes out your skin and limits wrinkling.

2. Retinoic Acid: A classic product for skin care treatment, it has been around forever because it works! Known better by the name Retin-A, this treatment stimulates cell production and increases blood flow in the skin. It also regulates pigment production and new collagen. In human terms, Retin-A forces the skin to shed the damaged cells while producing new ones that are healthier and do not have pigmentation problems. The only downside to the drug is it causes the skin to be very sensitive to sunlight while it is being taken.

3. Hydroxy Acids - Hydroxy acids are used to create smooth skin and decrease pore sizes. The acids work by speeding up the shedding process of cells from the outer epidermis level of skin. This pushes new, healthier cells to the outer layer of your skin. New skin always looks better because it has not been exposed to sun, pollution and so on.

There you have it. Three of the basic medications used by medical professionals for skin care. They may not be dramatic or the next big thing you read about in magazines, but they work. In the end, isn't that what you are really after?
