Skincare School

Welcome to Skincare School the podcast, your ultimate skincare study guide. Join Adore Beauty’s Senior Editor Amy Clark and Dr. Michelle Wong from Lab Muffin Beauty Science as they take things right back to basics to make skin care simple and F-U-N!

What’s on this episode? We’re glad you asked…

Let's Discuss Buzzy Skincare Ingredients

So, what actually is hyaluronic acid? And what about peptides? And are ceramides the same thing, or nah? Oh, and squalane. Or is it squalene?

Amy and Michelle break down exactly what all of these ingredients are, how they work and what they can (and can't) do for your skin. Plus, we get to the bottom of whether hyaluronic acid can really hold up to 1,000 times its weight in water, and a few other buzzy ingredient myths.

And in our Best in Class segment, Amy shares a bunch of excellent products containing hyaluronic acid, ceramides, peptides and squalane.
