In this episode of The Skin Real, Dr. Mina sits down with returning guest and dermatologist Dr. Jacqueline Watchmaker to explore one of the most talked-about emerging categories in skincare: topical adaptogens.

Together they dive into:

• What adaptogens actually are and why dermatologists use them
• How they soothe redness, irritation, and “stressed-out” skin
• Where they fit into a simple, effective routine
• Why they’re beloved in post-procedure care
• Whether supplements help and what to avoid
• Safe use during pregnancy
• The brands doing adaptogens right 

You’ll hear how adaptogens have moved from ancient medicine to modern skincare, why they’re suddenly everywhere, and whether they actually deserve a spot in your routine.

Dr. Watchmaker shares the science behind them, the products backed by real data, and how to know if your skin is asking for something gentler, calmer, and more supportive.

If your skin feels sensitive, reactive, or overwhelmed, this episode gives you the clarity and confidence to try something that supports, not strips your skin. Adaptogens might be the gentle reset your complexion has been craving!
