Season two is here. Reem and Ali, two board-certified NYC dermatologists, break down the newest FDA-approved sunscreen filter in 25 years and what it means for finally getting European-level SPF in the US.
This episode covers what’s hot and what’s not in dermatology right now: bemotrizinol and how to actually read a sunscreen label (PA+ ratings, broad spectrum, why avobenzone degrades in your bag), whether spicule “microneedling in a bottle” treatments do anything, and an honest take on skin boosters like Skinvive and Profhilo versus Sculptra, PRF, and lasers. Reem and Ali also rate the celebrity-favorite Ivan Pohl “snatched” facial layer by layer, share how they’re surviving the 100-degree NYC heat wave, and revisit what they got right and wrong across all of season one- from peptides and SPF to K-beauty, collagen supplements, and red light therapy.
New episodes drop with skincare, beauty, and aesthetic dermatology talk you can actually trust. Follow along on Instagram @DermNextDoorNYC- a season two giveaway is coming soon.
