In this episode we go on a deep dive into what actually works when it comes to skincare - whilst debunking what might just be good marketing. Tania cuts through an oversaturated market to explain why ingredient quality, concentration and pH matter far more than what some labels usually advertise.
She then makes the evidence-based case for the some of the active ingredients that patient should consider using daily: Vitamin C and retinoids Our conversation demystifies antioxidants and free radicals, the science behind both CE Ferulic Vitamin Serum (made by SkinCeuticals) & Alto Defense Serum (made by Skinbetter Science), and why using a combination of ingredients and antioxidants trumps using Vitamin C on its own.
Tania then explains the retinoid ladder and how retinoids drive collagen synthesis at the cellular level. She sheds light on why Alpharet (made by Skinbetter Science) wasn't available for several years in Australia and how to best use this product.
