I’ve always been annoyed by certain Skincare, and Barbara Sturm is no exception. Recently, she made some comments that so clearly demonstrate a fundamental lack of understanding of the skin, but also show how powerful Marketing can be. She showed us how powerful a high price point and luxury experience can be, trumping actual science, data and going directly against literally every single one of her Dermatology colleagues. Yes, they are still colleagues because at the end of the day she’s a position. An orthopedist - yes -but still a physician. So no, retinoids don’t thin the skin. Carry on.
