Is skin type just a biological myth? Here’s a dermatologist’s take. Categorizing your face as oily/dry or combination is scientifically obsolete. At the Asian Skin Research Institute's Biodermatology Division, our quest has gone beyond skin types to the treatment of Zonal Dysbiosis. Join me, board-certified dermatologist, chief scientific officer and author of peer-reviewed papers on zonal dysbiosis in leading dermatology journals as she unveils her latest research.

Here’s what we cover in this episode:

• Your face as a topographic map and complex ecosystem with distinct zonal microclimates

• Our work at the institute fusing Eastern botanical adaptogens with modern peptides to target specific inflammatory pathways

• The role of fermentation in the 500 Dalton rule: molecular size determines absorption

Stop 🛑 treating all acne the same! Science-backed skin health replaces guesswork every time. 🧪✨

Effective acne treatment requires more than just drying out the skin. Most pimple creams cause irritation, which triggers sebaceous glands to produce more oil. 📈

Argan Extract acts as a secret weapon for sebum regulation, targeting clogged pores at the source without desert skin side effects. 🧴 Balance the skin barrier to stop the cycle of hormonal breakouts and blemishes. 🌿💎

The secret to Glass Skin is smaller than you think. 🧬

Ever wonder why sake brewers in Japan are known for their youthful hands? It’s not just a legend—it’s microbiology. Most skincare actives are molecularly too large to penetrate your skin barrier, but fermentation changes the game.

In this clip, I explain how Galactomyces uses bioavailability to pre-digest nutrients into micro-molecules that actually reach your dermis.
