About this episode

Dr Davin Lim is a Brisbane cosmetic dermatologist, and here he tackles one of his favourite topics: the confusing and sometimes deliberately misleading world of skincare.

In a market that promises consumers so much, we explore what's in skincare products and what really works: overuse and irritant dermatitis, cheap versus expensive products, diet and acne, active ingredients including vitamin A and retinoids, vitamin B and vitamin C, azelaic and kojic acid for pigmentation, skincare after laser, moisturiser myths, dry versus dehydrated skin, sunscreen and a simple daily routine.
