The Doctor Youn ShowShow Notes
What actually works in anti-aging skincare—and what’s just expensive hype?
In this episode, Dr. Anthony Youn is joined by board-certified dermatologist Dr. Emily Levin to break down and ratesome of the most talked-about anti-aging ingredients on the market. From retinoids and niacinamide to ceramides, antioxidants, acids, and hyaluronic acid, they explain what these ingredients really do for your skin, who they’re best for, and where people often get misled.
The conversation goes far beyond skincare labels. Dr. Youn and Dr. Levin also unpack buzzy wellness and cosmetic trends—like blood filtration therapies, the controversial “Mar-a-Lago face,” emerging hair-loss drugs, and extreme body contouring with fillers—separating science from social-media spectacle.
With a refreshingly honest, patient-first perspective, this episode cuts through the noise to help you make smarter, safer decisions about your skin and your body—without fear-mongering, false promises, or chasing the latest fad.
