Join us for a first-look launch exclusive on Skin Anarchy as Dr. Ekta sits down with Keith O'Brien, the CEO of Hydrinity Accelerated Skin Science, to explore how regenerative medicine is transforming skincare. With a background in wound care, spine surgery, and oncology, Keith has applied the principles of rapid healing, pH balance, and inflammation control to aesthetics, creating products designed to repair, regenerate, and restore the skin.

Hydrinity just launched their NEW RetaXome™ Daily Retinal Hydrator which is a proprietary, next-generation retinal-infused exosome that sets the new gold standard in regenerative retinoid therapy, offering high-dose, targeted delivery deep into the dermis — where it matters most.

Hydrinity goes beyond facial care, addressing the unique needs of the body with formulas like the Encore Body Hydrator, which penetrates deeply with low molecular weight hyaluronic acid and high-dose antioxidants like Kakadu plum–derived vitamin C. Each product is designed with regenerative principles in mind: balancing pH, reducing inflammation, and supporting the skin’s natural repair mechanisms.

Science drives efficacy, but luxury isn’t forgotten. Hydrinity formulations are clean, free from unnecessary dyes and fragrances, and crafted to feel as good as they perform.

For Keith, consistency is key, and Hydrinity bridges the gap between biotech innovation and everyday beauty rituals. This episode offers a sneak peek into the future of skincare—where healing, science, and luxury intersect. Tune in to hear Keith O'Brien share the story behind Hydrinity, the science driving their formulations, and how regenerative medicine is reshaping both face and body care.

On this episode of Skin Anarchy, host Dr. Ekta sits down with Kat Burki to explore the fascinating link between gut health, nutritional biochemistry, and smarter skincare formulation. With a background spanning nutrition, epidemiology, and healthcare, Kat brings a unique lens to beauty: treating the skin as a living organ with its own nutritional needs.

What makes her philosophy stand out is the insistence on synergy. Rather than chasing “hero ingredients,” Kat focuses on how nutrients interact—pairing vitamins, peptides, and cofactors in ways that mirror how the body naturally processes them. She emphasizes that delivery systems and supportive bases are just as important as what’s in the formula. For Kat, skincare is about networks of nutrients working together, not isolated actives.

Listeners will also hear her perspective on the gut–skin axis, a connection that goes far deeper than marketing buzz. Imbalances in the gut microbiome can show up on the skin, but the skin’s own microbiome deserves equal care. By formulating with prebiotics, antimicrobials, and vitamins, Kat’s approach helps the skin restore balance and resilience.

From her cult-favorite Vitamin C Intensive Face Cream to her innovative focus on scalp health, Kat shares how biochemistry can transform not just product design but the way we think about skin itself. She leaves us with practical advice: read labels wisely, look for biome support, and always ask whether a formula makes biological sense. Tune in to discover how skincare can move beyond hype to real healing with Kat Burki.

On this episode of Skin Anarchy, Dr. Ekta sits down with Alain Dijkstra, CEO of Nuon Medical Technologies, to explore how medical-grade devices are redefining the future of skincare and beauty. With two decades of experience innovating in the medical device space, Dijkstra has transformed his expertise in surgical lighting and operating room technology into consumer-friendly tools that bring science-backed results straight to our vanities.

At the center of his vision is light therapy—an area backed by thousands of clinical studies and proven benefits ranging from skin rejuvenation to wound healing. Unlike many treatments, it offers visible results with minimal side effects, making it one of the most exciting frontiers in beauty tech. But for consumers, safety and efficacy remain key, which is why FDA-cleared devices are at the core of Nuon’s mission.

What makes Nuon truly groundbreaking is its approach to integrating technology directly into cosmetic packaging and everyday routines. Imagine a spatula or applicator that not only applies your cream but also delivers light therapy, improves absorption, and gives you real-time feedback on your skin’s hydration and oil levels. It’s a step beyond skincare—it’s turning daily rituals into measurable, tech-driven treatments.

For beauty brands, this shift presents enormous opportunity. Devices don’t replace serums and creams; they enhance them, driving better results and deeper customer loyalty. As Dijkstra explains, the future of beauty is already here—and it’s powered by innovation that bridges the gap between medicine and cosmetics.
