Retinol vs Retinoids

IdaSkin is a skincare podcast for anyone whose skin is tired of being stripped, burned, and overcorrected.

Hosted by a licensed esthetician and founder of IdaSkin, this podcast is rooted in one core belief: skin heals best when it’s supported, not punished. Each episode breaks down barrier repair, inflammation, sensitivity, acne, and post-procedure recovery through a gentle, aloe-forward approach that prioritizes healing over harsh trends.

If your skin stings, flakes, reacts, or “never fully clears,” IdaSkin helps you understand why — and what to do instead. Expect honest skincare education, ingredient conversations that actually make sense, myth-busting, and guidance for slowing down so your skin can repair itself.

No fear-based marketing.
No over-exfoliation culture.
Just real conversations about calming, restoring, and protecting the skin barrier.

Whether you’re acne-prone, sensitive, post-procedure, or simply overwhelmed by skincare advice, IdaSkin is where healing starts.
