Sunscreen history is being made, and I got a FRONT ROW SEAT! For the first time in over 25 years, the FDA has approved a new sunscreen filter! #LaRochePosayPartner

Meet BEMT (bemotrizinol) — a photostable UVA + UVB filter that’s creating new opportunities for sunscreen innovation in the U.S.

I went behind the scenes at @LaRochePosayUSA R&D lab to see the SCIENCE behind what’s coming next in sun protection!

As a dermatologist, I’m especially excited about the lightweight formulation, blendability, and innovations that make sunscreen use easier and more enjoyable for ALL skin tones.

Now tell me: Are you excited to try out the new UV Defense?? ☀️

Let me know in the comments

📣Happy Medical Assistants Recognition Day to the REAL MVPs of my clinic! 🩺❤️

My MAs are the HEARTBEAT of this office—part clinical experts, part administrative superheroes, and full-time keepers of my sanity! 😂

They keep our patients happy, our clinic running smoothly, and ME from completely losing my mind! 🤣

I may run this clinic like boot camp, but I couldn’t survive a single hectic clinic day without them! 🫶🏽❤️

Drop some ❤️ for the MAs who keep us doctors together (barely)! 😂

Derms… are we making acne treatment harder than it needs to be?

A few things We think we could do better:

1. Underutilizing compounded medications.
Sometimes the best regimen isn’t sitting in a single tube. Thoughtful compounding can simplify routines and target multiple concerns at once.

2. Treating the acne—but ignoring what it leaves behind.
Active breakouts, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, and acne scarring often need to be addressed as part of the same treatment strategy. This is very important in certain populations where cultural norms emphasize these post acne marks and acne scarring over the Acne itself (e.g. Black and Asian populations)

3. Not setting realistic expectations.
Acne treatment is rarely an overnight fix. Meaningful improvement often takes 12–16 weeks—and patients deserve to know that from Day 1.

Clear expectations + comprehensive treatment + simpler regimens can make a big difference.

What would you add to the list?

As a board-certified dermatologist, I look for products that not only hydrate and strengthen the hair shaft, but also address scalp health. Mielle’s Rosemary Mint collection now contains pure rosemary extract whose antioxidant properties can help protect the hair strand from environmental stressors!

What can cause concern for melanoma? There are a few rules to follow, no matter the color of your skin! Look for new spots, changing spots, and seek out care from a board certified dermatologist if you are concerned.

Your dark spots aren’t impossible to treat. You’re just missing these two key pieces of information.

Here’s what actually fades hyperpigmentation (and what wastes your money):

1 Tinted SPF every single day, rain or shine. No SPF = no progress, period.
2 Hyperpigmentation is not scarring; therefore, it is treatable.
3 Patience. Real fading takes 8-12 weeks, not 8-12 days.

Photoprotection and consistency matter way more than the price tag.

Follow for more real talk on clear skin, no fluff. And tune in for next week’s topic where we discuss the most overrated and underrated treatments for dark spots.  #darkspottreatment #hyperpigmentation #pigmentcorrector #glassskin #clearcomplexion
