Board-certified dermatologist Dr. Whitney Bowe coined the term “Skin Cycling” – an active-and-recover skincare schedule that’s earned more than 3.5 billion views on TikTok. Today, the NYC-based research scientist is here with your ultimate skin cycling explainer, including lessons in retinal (with an “a!”) and how-to work niacinamide into your routine. Plus, stay tuned as Dr. Bowe pulls back the curtain on buzzy tweakments, the truth about celebrity-touted Em-Face treatments and why “dermatologist tested” isn’t always as legit as it sounds.
