Join Dr. Danielle Belardo and her expert of the week, board certified dermatologist and the internet’s skincare myth buster, Dr. Ranella Hirsch. Today’s episode addresses some of the biggest and longest-standing misconceptions in beauty and skincare that have been duping consumers for generations. Listeners submitted their questions about retinoids, sun care, supplements, "clean” skincare and more, and the final verdict is in on whether you should buy it or burn it. The good news — it’s not as complicated as all those “wellness” influencers make it out to be, and your bank account does not need to suffer to achieve that dewy glow.
Dr. Ranella Hirsch is the co-founder of Atolla: Custom Skincare and frequently quoted in the fields of cosmetic and laser dermatology. She often lectures to physicians in the fields of laser surgery and cosmetic dermatology and is currently involved in a number of clinical studies of laser technologies and skin care. Ranella is highly sought after as an expert for both thriving brands and startup companies, including Dove, where she is a Global Partner Dermatologist.
