An introduction to
Medical Grade Skin Care
Medical grade skincare is a term used to describe a product with blend of cosmetic and pharmaceutical elements. One of the most significant benefits of these products is that the concentration of active ingredients in them is typically higher than that of retail and over the counter offerings. As a result, these products are only available on prescription following a consultation with a qualified medical practitioner.
Overview
At the Repton Clinic we prescribe ZO® Skin Health products formulated by the leading dermatologist Dr Zein Obagi. This is one of the market leading medical grade skincare ranges that uses the best and most effective ingredients to create and maintain healthy skin. The ZO® Skin Health approach is to follow three steps:
