Did you know that many of the popular skincare trends (and tips and tricks) you see online are actually not approved by a dermatologist?

Your skin is an important organ (the largest one in your body) that is largely exposed to external factors and irritators. For that reason, knowing how to take care of your skin from a medical perspective is essential to maintain its health, resistance, and appearance.

Our dermatologist-reviewed articles can change your perception of popular skin trends, as they are based on objective and up-to-date scientific information, and provide first-hand skin advice from practicing board-certified dermatologists!
