Today on the podcast, Karen breaks down the truth about skincare—and why that $20 cream from the drugstore might not be doing what you think it is. We dive into the real differences between medical-grade skincare and over-the-counter products, including potency, absorption, and long-term results.

Karen shares her expert take on why medical-grade products are worth the investment, how to build a results-driven routine, and what ingredients to actually look for on a label. If you’ve ever stood in the skincare aisle feeling overwhelmed (or underwhelmed by your results), this episode is your skincare reality check.
