  • Simply the best.

    Digestible material, engaging (and brilliant) hosts, and entertaining segues. At this point, it’s the only podcast I consistently listen to and I obsessively check to see when the next episode has dropped. (Dear Chemists, that is not a complaint about regularity, I’m just impatient, but also understand that you have other demands on your time besides entertaining me)

  • Ew the voices

    Terrible voices made for print not for podcast. Their info is often incorrect. Google or chat it and find out for yourself.

  • No more animal facts please. Less giggling.

    I really enjoy the content of this podcast and try so hard to listen to it. However I would like to suggest that there be less giggling and laughing. Sometimes I can’t hear what they’re saying because one of them is laughing. Also I don’t understand why they add in the animal section. If I wanted to listen to a podcast about animals I would listen to a different podcast. I hate to be critical and have never rated any podcast before but I really really would like to hear what they have to say bu... more

  • Baby voice makes it too hard

    I love the content and find it very informative, but I can’t stand Gloria’s baby voice. I wish she would lean away from the cutesy pronunciation thing. Unfortunately I have to unfollow.

    Just buy their book instead

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

#117: Hydroquinone and Some Comparison Actives
Q: When you say resolution of their hyperpigmentation, is it like what degree?
The degree is based on the dermatologists' assessment, generally moving from severe to mild levels of hyperpigmentation.
#87: Is Glycerin the BEST humectant hydrator out there?
Q: Is it more hydrating than hyaluronic acid? Which is better for hydration?
For instant hydration, glycerin would be better. Hyaluronic acid has shown that long-term, it can actually be more helpful.
#87: Is Glycerin the BEST humectant hydrator out there?
Q: Can there be too much glycerin? What's the percentage to look for?
Glycerin is tested as low as 5% and all the way up to about 20%. It's hard to overdo it. None of these papers showed any signs of people experimenting any sort of irritation from glycerin.
#88: Can Urea Replace Your AHAs?
Q: Is 10% a good percentage in moisturizers?
5% to 10% is great for moisturizers.
#88: Can Urea Replace Your AHAs?
Q: Does urea stop being effective for psoriasis after a while?
That sounds like a better question for your dermatologist.
