  • My FAVORITE podcast

    I absolutely love this podcast! At 52, I’ve learned more practical science about skincare and cosmetics here than in decades of buying products. Perry and Valerie have not only taught me how to cut through the marketing jargon, they’ve saved me a ton of money.

  • The only beauty podcast that I keep coming back to!

    I am so appreciative to have been a listener to this podcast throughout my tenure in the Beauty industry, where I’ve advantageously seen an FMCG operation from an insider perspective. I really value the insights that Perry and Valerie share with their listeners.

  • Has potential

    The podcast has a lot of potential and I love the questions people send in but at times seems the hosts aren’t interested/a little dry. Might be good to get some guests or laymen on the pod

  • Most Rational Skincare/Beauty Pod!

    Love this podcast. It snaps me out of buying hyped or trendy products I don’t need, educated me on so many ingredients, and is easy to listen to and understand. I LOVE the inane chitchat, don’t ever stop!
