Ep. 18 — Peptide Deep Dive, Met Gala Skin Moments & Skin Tightening in the GLP-1 Era
Episode 18 of Derm Next Door is a packed one. We're breaking down the peptide conversation from every angle — what signal peptides, neuropeptides, and carrier peptides are actually doing to your skin at the cellular level, how topical delivery compares to injectable peptides, and which ones have real clinical backing vs. just good marketing.In What We're Side-Eyeing, we get into PP405 — the hair loss drug everyone is talking about. Phase 2a data just dropped, and we have thoughts on what the results actually show, what's still missing, and why the hype might be getting ahead of the science.Then we hit the Met Gala 2026 red carpet. The Devil Wears Prada theme brought out Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt, Rihanna, Hailey Bieber, and more — and we're talking skin, glow, possible tweakments, and the beauty moments that stood out (for better or worse).Segment 3 is for everyone currently on a GLP-1 or treating patients who are: we break down the major skin tightening devices — Morpheus8, Ultherapy, Sofwave, Thermage, and Emface — what they actually do, how they compare, and who each one is best for when laxity is the chief complaint.And we close with our Products of the Month: Reem is loving the La Roche-Posay Cicaplast B5 Spray and L'Oréal EverPure Bond Repair. Ali is vouching for the Eadem Lip Balm, Summer Fridays Jet Lag Eye Patches, and SkinCeuticals P-TIOX — the peptide serum that's being called Botox in a bottle. Is it?

Episode 16: Derm Decoded: Skin Longevity, Alix Earle's Brand & the Real Talk on AI Skincare
This week we're covering what's trending (and what's tanking) in skincare right now — from the growing obsession with skin longevity to the at-home device everyone needs to put down immediately. We also weigh in on Alix Earle's new brand launch, reflect on the spectacle that was AAD 2026, and round things out with our current product picks for transitioning your routine into spring.The RundownWhat's hotSkin longevity is having a moment — and for good reason. We break down what "aging well" actually means from a dermatology perspective, why simplified routines are outperforming 10-step regimens, and how the science of barrier health is finally going mainstream.What's notAt-home plasma pens. We're drawing a hard line here. We talk through why these devices are causing serious and sometimes permanent skin damage, what the risks actually look like, and why "derm-grade" marketing on a consumer device should be a red flag, not a selling point.Side-eyeingAI-personalized skincare is everywhere right now — but should you trust an algorithm with your skin? We get into the promise vs. the reality: what these tools can and can't assess, where the liability gaps are, and why a quiz on a brand's website is not the same as a consultation.Derm in the WildAlix Earle's Reale Actives launch. Another influencer, another skincare brand — but is this one different? We look at the formulations, the marketing claims, and whether "founded by someone with acne" is a reason to buy or just a compelling story.AAD 2026 & the sensationalization of dermatology. We just got back and we have thoughts. From social-media-ready presentations to the growing pressure on derms to perform for a public audience — we talk about what the conference got right, what made us cringe, and what it says about where the field is heading.Product Favorites & Spring Skincare TransitionAs the weather shifts, so should your routine — but not in the way most influencers suggest. We share our current product picks, talk through the swaps worth making as humidity rises and sunscreen becomes non-negotiable again, and answer the question we get every spring: do I actually need a separate spring moisturizer?
