Professional vs. Over-the-Counter Skincare: What’s the Difference?
With endless skincare products lining store shelves and filling social media feeds, it’s easy to wonder: Do I really need professional skincare, or is over-the-counter good enough? While both have a place, they are not created equal — and understanding the difference can completely change your skin results.
At Summit Dermatology in Medford, Oregon, we help patients cut through the noise and choose skincare that actually works for their skin type, concerns, and goals.
From Dry to Radiant: How Professional Dermatology Transforms Your Skin
Dry, dull skin is one of the most common concerns we see — especially during winter months. Environmental stressors, dehydration, sun exposure, and aging all affect your skin’s ability to retain moisture and maintain a healthy glow. While over-the-counter products may offer temporary relief, lasting improvement often requires professional care.
At Summit Dermatology in Medford, Oregon, we help patients throughout Southern Oregon transform dry, tired skin into a healthier, smoother, more radiant complexion through personalized dermatologic care.
