Medical Grade Skincare
What is
Medical Grade Skincare
Medical-grade skincare refers to high-performance products formulated with clinically tested, active ingredients designed to target specific skin concerns, such as acne, pigmentation, aging, and sensitivity, at a deeper level. At Riverside we work with industry leading brands such as Epionce and AlumierMD. Unlike over-the counter products, medical-grade skincare is backed by scientific research, often developed by dermatologists, and typically available through licensed professionals. These formulations contain higher concentrations of active ingredients, ensuring better absorption and more effective results. Whether used on their own or alongside in-clinic treatments, medical-grade skincare delivers measurable improvements in skin health, making it an essential part of any results-driven skincare routine.
