    Love the podcast, but wish they would upload the videos also on Apple Podcasts.

    Update: I am not even mad at all the sponsorships throughout the video - do what you have to do to support this amazing podcast, BUT I hate that after every ad they say “now back to the show” just for another ad to follow.

  • Disappointed in Change in Tone

    With the recent episode featuring an endocrinologist as a great example, I’m disappointed the beauty podcast with a Canadian lens (as well as US) has changed in overall tone.

    I miss the light, beauty-focused podcast that first attracted me.

    While I appreciate encouraging women to advocate for themselves and the education on menopause is critical after being neglected for so long, wearing a continuous glucose monitor or treating a normal biological process as something that’s needs fixing is p... more

    Celebrating the “comeback” of Peter Thomas Roth - “PTR” as they referred to him as - was shocking to hear. Celebrating an associate of Jeffrey Epstein is sickening.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Azelaic Acid Debate, Spicules & Skincare Myths with @DermAngelo and @GlowByRamon
Q: What is the difference between BEMT and other sunscreen filters that makes this particular one better?
Pagán says BEMT provides broad-spectrum UVA and UVB absorption, with a notable UVA protection contribution, and describes it as stable with low irritation potential. He clarifies that its U.S. regulatory status does not mean other filters are unsafe.
The Azelaic Acid Debate, Spicules & Skincare Myths with @DermAngelo and @GlowByRamon
Q: What do both of you make of the azelaic acid debate, or did you follow this online?
Pagán says neutralization can help solubilize azelaic acid and that formulas also have to balance the pH needs of multiple active ingredients. He and Landriscina say product results and clinical evidence matter more than theoretical claims about an exact pH.
Science-Backed or Hype? Dr. Whitney Bowe Sorts Fact From Fiction for the Ultimate Skincare Routine
Q: What does the minimum effective routine for night time actually look like?
Bowe recommends gentle cleansing, then a peptide and hyaluronic acid serum, an eye cream and moisturizer, with exfoliation and retinoid nights alternated and recovery nights included as needed.
Science-Backed or Hype? Dr. Whitney Bowe Sorts Fact From Fiction for the Ultimate Skincare Routine
Q: What can our listeners look for on a label?
Bowe advises checking whether evidence comes from ingredient-supplier data, consumer surveys, objective measurements, or peer-reviewed studies, and whether testing was done on the finished formula.
The New SPF Filter Is Here! Plus: Decoding Mineral Sunscreen Labels & The Truth About Ultra Violette’s “Sunscreen Gate” with Co-Founder Ava Matthews
Q: Why did you start Ultra Violette and push to insert SPF into skincare rather than treating it as a seasonal product?
Ava explains that the brand was born from seeing a gap—sunscreen was not integrated into daily skincare, especially in Australia—so they designed products that feel like skincare and can be worn every day, creating a Heathered routine rather than a separate step.
