"Do you really need a ten-step skincare regimen? Is that $100 eye cream worth it? What's up with the CBD trend? Let's face it... we're all a little lost in the skincare world. In this book, formulation chemists Victoria Fu and Gloria Lu breakdown the overly complex skincare industry and answer your burning questions. Section 1 of the book focuses on the most important skincare fundamentals of cleanse, moisturize, and sun protection. Section 2 covers skincare active ingredient superstars vitamin C, alpha hydroxy acids, niacinamide, retinol, and other great ingredients backed by scientific evidence. Last, but not least, the last section put together routine guidelines for different skin type and skin concerns. Skincare science can seem intimidating, but it doesn't have to be! This book brings the sass, humor, and solid information that the chemist duo from the popular Chemist Confessions Instagram is known for."--From publisher.
