#032 In this episode, I interview Gloria and Victoria from Chemist Confessions. We chat about the recent Valisure paper on benzoyl peroxide, the use (and overuse??) of niacinamide and hyaluronic acid, the amount of sunscreen we ACTUALLY need to be using, retinol's partial ban in the UK, and the benefits of different vitamin C derivatives. They debunk so many skin myths, I was taking notes myself.
