The Skincare Industry’s Biggest Lies (And What Really Works) with Dr. Dustin Portela

We also rate some of today’s most viral skincare trends, including beef tallow, red light therapy, NAD, snail mucin, at home microneedling, plasma pens, and salmon DNA facials, while discussing what actually works, what’s overhyped, and what may not be worth your time or money.
