“Their area of expertise is Hair, information on that topic from this podcast can be very useful. Skincare however is a mixed bag. They can teach you about the very basics and help avoiding some scams that claim to be science based but are actually not. But when it comes down to specific products...”Read full review »

“I’ve learned so much about personal care items by listening to this show. I spend so much less money on hair care and body care items now that I understand the basic technologies and common ingredients used in those products. I still like to dive a bit deeper into face products and think there is...”Read full review »

“Perry and Valerie provide great insights into how different cosmetics products work and the chemistry underlying them. Perry and Valerie also describe all the ways that marketers try to convince people to buy products that don’t actually work (they lack evidential proof of efficacy). Hence I am a...”Read full review »

“Glad this show exists. Great to hear scientists talk for once. I think back about the scare we all had when spray sunblocks were recalled because of high benzene levels, and how listening to the two of them break it down gave it a lot of useful context and calmed me down.”

“Too much personal information/casual conversation before getting onto the actual topic. When the topic is then discussed, it is high level or not explained properly and they move onto the next thing. Perhaps I am just the wrong audience expecting something more scientific/technical.”
