Deep Dive: Myths vs Truths

Dr Michelle Wong debunks skincare myths. There have always been myths about skincare but in the last few years they have really amped up. Amy throws the most common skincare myths at Dr Michelle Wong to debunk in this episode such as 'you need to double cleanse to get truely deep skin' and 'should we touch a dropper to our face?'

 

Q: How can I figure out what’s a gentler retinol versus a really strong one? 

Dr Michelle Wong talks about the different retinol formulas, what additional ingredients to look for that will be gentler on your skin and ranks the different Vit A derivatives and why the word gentler can be misleading.
