In Episode 16 of the Dermastore® Podcast we discuss one of our all-time favourite ingredients: Vitamin A.Plenty has been said, written, and, most importantly, researched on the subject of retinol on the skin, and there's a good reason for it. Retinol is likely the most important skincare ingredient of the past 50 years. This is simply because it can do so much for our skin in reducing fine lines and wrinkles, suppressing hyperpigmentation, and even prohibiting the formation of acne (and more!)Can you tell that we love talking about retinol?

In episode 15 of the Dermastore® Podcast, Greg, Lara, and Dr Webster discuss the vital role a properly functioning skin barrier plays in achieving healthy skin.A disrupted epidermal barrier can lead to many of the common dermatological conditions we see today, including acne, rosacea, eczema, psoriasis, and more.Learn all about the science and brands like CeraVe that are helping to innovate in this important space.Lara's morning routine:CeraVe Hydrating Cream-to-Foam CleanserEndocare Radiance C Ferulic Edafence SerumLamelle Serra Restore CreamColorescience Sunforgettable Total Protection Brush-On Shield SPF 50 (Glow)Greg's morning routine:SkinCeuticals Glycolic Renewal CleanserKiehl's Ultra Facial Cleanser (150ml)SkinCeuticals Silymarin CFpHformula Post Recovery PlusShop CeraVe Skincare Online in South Africa on Dermastore®https://www.dermastore.co.za/shop/range/cerave/

It includes higher concentrations of Exosomes - cellular messengers that have a mountain of benefits (and strong evidence) for supporting the needs of visibly ageing skin.SKIN NERD ALERT! We get a little technical in this episode

In episode 12 of the Dermastore® Podcast, Lara and Greg sit down with Dr. Ian Webster to discuss all things acne - a big topic that we break down into types of acne, who gets it, and what treatment options can be followed to help minimize this debilitating and confidence-sapping condition."In this day and age nobody should end up with permanent scarring from acne" - Dr. Ian WebsterWhether you're a current, past, or future sufferer (as it can recur!) or even a caregiver to someone who struggles with acne, this episode is for you.PRODUCTS MENTIONEDLara's RoutineObagi Professional-C Serum 15%Kiehl's Ultra Facial Cream Huxley Stay Sun Safe SPF 50+ PA++++Greg's RoutineZO Skin Health Dual Action ScrubSkinCeuticals Silymarin CFEndocare Tensage Nourishing CreamMartiDerm Active D Fluid SPF 50+Product CategoriesCleanser, Oily & Acne-ProneRetinoid, Oily & Acne-ProneSpot TreatmentsSunscreens, Oily & Acne-ProneIngredients to look out forAzelaic AcidTea Tree OilBenzoyl PeroxideNiacinamidePost-inflammatory hyperpigmentation from acne scarringMartiDerm Acniover Cicavent

In episode 10 of the Dermastore® Podcast Lara and Greg have an informal chat about an approach to skincare routines that is less rigorous and more responsive.We recently coined the term, 'Skin-Sponding' and it's really about knowing your skin well enough that you can be responsive to its ever-changing needs.Equipping our bathrooms with a ready-to-respond kit beyond our core skincare staples, amazingly, has another upside: the skin likes to be surprised! Based on our experience, we believe a few out-of-routine ingredients and formulations can help take your skin to new heights.Tune in to listen to their lighthearted (but hopefully interesting) skin conversion..PRODUCTS MENTIONEDLara's morning routineKiehl's Calendula Deep Cleansing Foam CleanserObagi Professional-C Serum 10%Huxley Anti-Gravity CreamHeliocare Gelcream LightGreg's morning routineObagi-C Cleansing GelJorgobé Vitamin C Brightening SerumA coming-soon Anthelios SPFYou can read up more about Skin-Sponding here :)

In this episode Greg, Lara, and Dr Ian Webster (Dermatologist) discuss a new and (possibly game-changing) sun care innovation from leading Dermatological brand, La Roche-Posay.For the past 30 years, Anthelios by La Roche-Posay have developed industry-leading sun protection with invisible formulations. Their science has appeared in numerous publications and peer-review journals, and has proven to be safe, efficacious, and possess excellent skin tolerance even for the most sensitive of skins.Their latest UV filter innovation, Mexoryl 400, is the result of 10 years of research and development and finally closes the gap on Ultra-Long UVA protection by covering 380-400nm on the UVA spectrum.At Dermastore, we believe in supporting brands who continually invest in sun protection innovations. With skin cancer detection on the rise globally, we can only hope our small contribution to consistent and evidence-lead education will help slow this concerning trend.PRODUCTS MENTIONEDLara's morning routinemeoestetic brightening foamJorgobé Multi-Peptide Filler SerumMartiDerm GF Vital Age Cream (Normal or Combination)Heliocare Gelcream Color LightGreg's morning routineMartiDerm Purifying GelObagi Clenziderm Pore TherapyNeoStrata Vitamin C 15% PHA SerumMartiDerm Active D Fluid SPF 50+Shop La Roche-Posay Anthelios on Dermastore®https://www.dermastore.co.za/shop/range/la-roche-posay/

In Episode 7 of the Dermastore® Podcast we discuss all things Hyperpigmentation, a common skin disorder that has multiple sub-types, causes and treatment options.Dr Ian Webster (Dermatologist) joins Greg & Lara on the podcast sharing some of his 30-years of experience in treating this manageable (but not always completely treatable) skin condition.If you suffer from hyperpigmentation it is always best to get a professional diagnosis to properly identify the type of pigmentation at play. Follow preventative and corrective protocols and practice proper sun protection to prevent relapsing.Favourite quotes from this episode:"Just one day in the sun can take you back to square one""There are so many triggers that are working 24-hours a day - it never stops.
