Frequently Asked Questions About Skincare
What constitutes professional skin care products?
For a product to be classified as professional, it’s developed specifically for skin clinics, spas, or physicians’ offices. They’re not mass-produced in large batches, so quality control is better, and the products must pass rigorous clinical testing.
What’s medical-grade skincare?
To be considered medical grade, skin care products must contain 99.9% pure ingredients as regulated by the FDA
What are the best skincare products for my skin type?
First, determine what skin type you have. The most common skin types are normal, dry, oily, and combination.
- Normal – No problem areas
- Dry – Skin feels tight or is flaky
- Oily – Skin appears shiny all over
- Combination – Only your T-zone is oily or shiny
Solutions for your skin type will target your problem areas. Combination skin requires a balanced formula that can address both dryness and oil. Oily skin needs products that are gentle to avoid promoting oil overproduction.
Dry skin needs cleansers that remove makeup and dirt without also removing moisture. Normal skin requires products that promote the skin’s natural balance.

When should I start using anti-aging skincare products?
Although you may not see any signs of aging in your 20s, you can start using anti-aging products this young. These products often contain retinol and hyaluronic acid which, when used routinely, can reduce the appearance of aging and appear to slow the process.
What are active skincare ingredients, and what are they doing?
The active ingredients are the ones doing the most work in your skincare products. Here’s what we’re seeing in some of the most popular and effective products.
- Alpha-hydroxy Acids (AHAs) – Skin brightener that boosts skin cell renewal. Also targets hyperpigmentation and fine lines.
- Copper Peptide – Boosts collagen and elastin production.
- Hyaluronic Acid – A humectant that plumps skin and improves moisture.
- Retinoids (Retinol) – Stimulates collagen and elastin production.
- Vitamin C (L-Ascorbic Acid) – Skin brightener that protects from UV rays, free radicals, and pollution.
How can I get rid of acne?
You may need a combination of products and methods to combat acne, especially depending on what’s causing it. Your skin may respond differently to over-the-counter products vs prescribed products. Consulting with an esthetician can help you figure out the best acne treatment.
How can I get rid of wrinkles?
Topical products that include retinoids may help reduce wrinkles. Still, non-surgical procedures like those offered here at Barr are some of the best remedies: laser skin resurfacing, Botox, and chemical peels.
How can I get rid of undereye circles?
Treat under eyes with cold compresses, lots of hydration, and eye creams or serums that include Vitamin K and caffeine. Dermatologist-recommended procedures include laser therapy, chemical peels, and injectable fillers.
How often should I wash my face?
Face washing is recommended at least twice per day.
What SPF should I use on my face?
Use an SPF of at least 30 on your face every day. According to the American Cancer Society, SPF 30 can block up to 97% of UVB rays. SPF protection is even more important for sensitive skin.
