Why would a dermatologist recommend cortisone cream for a cold sore?

Cold sores are caused by viruses, but inflammation is also a big part of what makes them uncomfortable. So where does an anti-inflammatory cream fit into the picture?

If you’ve ever wondered about this treatment approach, here’s what a dermatologist wants you to know.

Witch hazel or micellar water, which one is better for cleansing your face?

The answer may depend on your skin type. If you’re dealing with oily skin, you may want something that helps remove excess oil, while drier or more sensitive skin may need a gentler approach.

So which one should you reach for?

Korean skincare has been driving some of the biggest skincare trends lately, and PDRN and peptides are having a major moment, but are you actually getting much of them in the product? 👀

This Korean skincare eye patch caught my attention while browsing the skincare aisle, but a quick look at the ingredient list raised some questions.

When a product highlights a trendy ingredient on the packaging, it’s worth taking a closer look at where that ingredient actually appears on the list.

Biotin is everywhere in haircare, but does it actually belong in your conditioner? 💇‍♀️

Products with “biotin” on the label can make some pretty big hair-growth promises. But does adding biotin to a conditioner really make a difference for your hair?

Before choosing your next conditioner based on the ingredients on the front of the bottle, here’s what a dermatologist wants you to know.

Benzoyl peroxide or Differin, which one should you use for acne?

If you’re dealing with both red, inflamed bumps and blackheads, choosing between the two can get a little confusing. The truth is, these ingredients work differently, so the right choice may depend on what’s showing up on your skin.

And there’s even an option that combines both. 👀
