Our Top Medical-Grade Skincare Picks

Below, find six products our noVA skincare experts recommend most. Each formula has earned rave reviews and lives up to medical-grade standards.

1. Obagi ELASTIDERM® Facial Serum

Key Benefits:
– Firms and lifts delicate skin
– Boosts elasticity around eyes and cheeks
– Light, silky texture for all skin types

Why We Love It
Our aestheticians often pair ELASTIDERM® with LED Light Therapy. The result? Noticeably smoother lines and firmer contours after just a few sessions.

Usage Tip
Apply two drops morning and night. Pat gently over cleansed skin. Follow with moisturizer or sunscreen.

2. PROFESSIONAL-C® Serum 20%

Key Benefits:
– High-strength vitamin C barrier against free radicals
– Evens tone and brightens dull complexions
– Supports collagen production

Why We Love It
This potent serum is a staple pre-HydraFacial boost. It amplifies your in-spa glow and keeps skin vibrant between visits.

Usage Tip
Use daily in the AM. After cleansing, press 3–4 drops onto face, neck, and décolletage. Seal with a hydrating cream.

3. OBAGI HYDRATE® Luxe

Key Benefits:
– Deep, all-day hydration
– Locks in moisture without greasiness
– Strengthens skin’s protective barrier

Why We Love It
When you need an intensive moisture surge—think winter dryness or post-peel comfort—Hydrate Luxe is your go-to. It’s often the finishing step in our collagen gun treatments.

Usage Tip
Smooth over entire face once or twice daily. Perfect under makeup or as the last step in evening rituals.

4. OBAGI NU-DERM Fx® Clear Fx

Key Benefits:
– Targets hyperpigmentation and dark spots
– Balances skin tone for a clearer look
– Gentle enough for sensitive skin

Why We Love It
Combine Clear Fx with a customised chemical peel at Moon Lake Spa for accelerated brightening. The two work in harmony to fade sun damage and post-inflammatory marks.

Usage Tip
Apply a thin layer nightly. Start every other night if you have sensitive skin, then increase to nightly.

5. SUN SHIELD™ Tint Broad Spectrum SPF 50 (Warm)

Key Benefits:
– High-protect UV coverage (UVA/UVB)
– Light tint hides redness and evens complexion
– Water and sweat resistant

Why We Love It
A broad-spectrum SPF is non-negotiable. Our noVA skincare experts recommend Sun Shield™ as the final AM step—whether you’re commuting or enjoying a weekend retreat.

Usage Tip
Dab onto the face daily. Reapply every two hours if you’re outdoors.

6. OBAGI NU-CIL® Eyelash & Eyebrow Serum

Key Benefits:
– Promotes fuller, healthier brows and lashes
– Safe around the delicate eye area
– Noticeable results in 6–8 weeks

Why We Love It
For clients experiencing thinning brows or lashes—often due to age or stress—this serum offers a confidence boost. It’s simple to use and pairs well with our eyebrow waxing services.

Usage Tip
Brush onto clean, dry brows and lashes once nightly.

Building Your At-Home and In-Spa Routine

A product is only as good as how you use it. Here’s how our noVA skincare experts weave these formulas into a seamless regimen:

  1. Cleanse: Start with a gentle, pH-balanced cleanser to remove dirt and oil.
  2. Treat: Layer targeted serums (e.g., PROFESSIONAL-C® then ELASTIDERM®).
  3. Hydrate: Lock in moisture with OBAGI HYDRATE® Luxe.
  4. Protect: Finish with SUN SHIELD™ Broad Spectrum SPF 50.

Twice a month, book one of our chemical peels or an oxygen facial. We’ll prep your skin, apply medical-grade formulas, and follow up with bespoke treatments like LED Light Therapy for maximum benefits.

Pro Tips from noVA Skincare Experts

  • Less Is More
    Overloading your skin can do more harm than good. Pick 2–3 key actives and rotate—especially if you’re new to medical-grade products.
  • Patch Test First
    Even gentle formulas can sting. Test on a small area before diving in.
  • Consistency Wins
    Most products need 4–6 weeks to reveal full benefits. Stick with your routine.
  • Stay Hydrated
    Internal hydration supports your topical efforts. Aim for 8 cups of water a day.
  • Book Regular Check-Ins
    Seasonal changes or life events (e.g., stress, pregnancy) can shift your skin’s needs. Keep your esthetician in the loop.

Understanding Medical-Grade vs. Over-The-Counter

You might wonder: why spend on medical-grade formulas? Here’s the breakdown:

  • Potency
    Higher concentrations of active ingredients.
  • Stability
    Advanced packaging to preserve efficacy.
  • Backed by Research
    Often supported by clinical trials and physician insights.
  • Professional Guidance
    Typically dispensed—or recommended—by trained specialists.

If you crave visible, long-lasting results, medical-grade products are worth the investment. And with Moon Lake Spa’s guidance, you’ll use them safely and effectively.
