Medical grade products tend to contain stronger or better-formulated actives
like higher concentrations of Retinoids, stabilized Vitamin C, or exfoliating acids.
"Over the counter" products can use these too, but sometimes at lower strengths or with less stable formulations.
This is a big one.
Two products with the same ingredient list can perform

Thanks to its higher concentration, a little goes a long way.
This allows the product to last significantly longer, helping offset the higher upfront cost compared to OTC alternatives.
