I was quoted by Allure as a dermatologist and topic expert for their guide to Korean retinoid products.
I shared perspective on how retinoids can be combined with other acne-fighting ingredients, what these combinations may offer, and why tolerability and skin-barrier support matter when choosing a retinoid routine.
The article looks at several Korean retinoid formulations and the broader trend toward pairing effective active ingredients with gentler, barrier-supportive formulas.
