Are you spending hundreds on skincare that's actually worse than what's sitting on drugstore shelves?
As a dermatologist, I see it every day: patients wasting money on products that don't work while ignoring effective, affordable options at their local pharmacy. After my conversation with cosmetic industry insider Dr. Patty Farris, I'm finally sharing the truth about what's really worth your money!
We dismiss drugstore skincare as "cheap" while gravitating toward indie companies that tout "natural" and "clean" ingredients. But these buzzwords have no regulated meaning and often signal products without rigorous testing.
I'm also calling out the 'clean beauty' movement for what it really is: brilliant marketing that preys on your fears about "chemicals." Here's the truth - your entire body is made of chemicals, and synthetic ingredients are often safer and more effective than "natural" ones.
Key Takeaways:
- Why I personally use mostly drugstore skincare and recommend it
- The real difference between medical grade and over-the-counter products
- How to identify which products in your routine are doing nothing
- The clean beauty myth: why "natural" doesn't mean better
- Why synthetic ingredients are often safer than "natural" counterparts
- The shocking R&D spending gap between drugstore giants and boutique brands
- Coming breakthrough: Tenisorb S UVA filter and AI-powered personalized skincare
- The regenerative medicine revolution in anti-aging

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
