Are you wasting your time (and money) on skincare trends that don’t actually work?

As a dermatologist, I see patients every week who are overwhelmed by viral skincare advice—especially on TikTok. In this video, I break down the most common skincare trends that are overhyped, ineffective, or just not worth your time.
We’ll talk about:
Overcomplicated 10–12 step routines (especially for teens)
Why more products ≠ better skin
The truth about “trendy” ingredients that don’t outperform proven treatments for hair loss
How to build a simple, effective routine backed by science
