TikTok is changing skincare faster than the science can keep up. In this episode, we (Beate & Natascha, founders of Boutique Skin Envie) go through 15 of the biggest TikTok skincare trends right now: PDRN salmon DNA serums, beef tallow, slugging, glass skin, snail mucin, red light therapy, and more, and give our honest "take it or leave it" verdict on each one, backed by what we actually see in clinic.
We also talk about how to spot dangerous skincare advice, why "who's giving the advice" matters more than the trend itself, and the boring (but actually effective) habits TikTok never talks about.
