Dr. Sethi walks through the top ingredients for each skin concern, including how retinol supports skin cell turnover, why gentle exfoliation is key, and what antioxidants like vitamin C (in the right form!) can do for collagen production. She also dives into common post-treatment mistakes, like using Vaseline or the wrong type of vitamin C, that can sabotage your skin’s healing process.
