Noor

I learned a lot from this course. I started taking care of my skin. I started by evaluating the products I already use in my skincare routine. I've been reading the ingredients list to see if it contains any harmful ingredients or chemicals. I also learned that you don't need to buy the most expensive products.

I’d never heard of vitamin C serum or retinoids, but I’m really glad I added them to my daily routine, as I finally noticed a difference in some of the skin tone problems I’ve been struggling with for years. Here’s hoping they prevent wrinkles in the future!

Nikhil

I have suddenly developed adult acne, and I can’t afford to see a dermatologist (I don’t have healthcare right now). Getting to watch this dermatologist on video was awesome and I can’t wait to try out some of the advice. I’ve already bought the differin she recommended, and I think I’m going to try cutting out dairy from my diet like she mentioned and see if it makes a difference!
