Heather C. Woolery-Lloyd, MD, FAAD, Explores the Latest Cosmeceuticals at SDPA Fall 2025

Summary: Dr. Heather Woolery-Lloyd recently shared the latest skin care science at a major dermatology conference. She explained how skin care has evolved from harsh, ancient soaps that ruined the skin's natural barrier to modern, gentle cleansers that protect it. She broke down how different moisturizers work and warned people against scrubbing their skin too hard with exfoliants.

The doctor also talked about huge global trends, like Korean skin care, plant ingredients called adaptogens, and even new skin creams using salmon sperm DNA to help repair cells! Finally, she warned shoppers that the "clean beauty" movement is mostly just a marketing trick. Because there are no strict FDA rules for cosmetics, stores just make up their own definitions for what "clean" or "natural" actually means.
