Woah I just realized centella is a vegetable I’ve been eating my whole life! I’m Burmese and we call it myin kwa ywet. We eat it chopped up fine as a salad, in soup and just plain as a veggie on the side. My mom always told me eating it was good for my eye but I had no idea it’s good for my skin too!!

I really appreciate the scientific focus of your channel, especially in the sea of skincare KZfaq it is refreshing to see actual evidence-based discussions. Your presentation is so easy to follow and learn from. I’m wondering if you have links to the studies/papers you reference and if they are publicly accessible? I know depending on journal or place of publication, there is often a paywall unfortunately, but thought I would ask anyway!

This was amazing! Always a pleasure to listen to you. This topic is close to my heart because my skin absolutely loves cica - post shave, sun exposure and for general soothing and calmimg. My HG are Innisfree Aloe revitalizing gel (contains madecassoside), Purito Buffet Serum, Klairs Midnight Blue calming cream, One Thing Centella Toner; I'm always trying new launches which contain any of these compounds. Please consider doing a deep dive on SNAIL MUCIN (and the new launches like Jumiso Snail Peptide essence).

Hi, can you please do a video on pearl powder for skin? Btw, you are so underrated. It was an instant subscribe for me!!!

Hello, I’m interested in learning about what are the benefits of coix seed aka Job’s Tears. I’ve seen it as a star ingredient for Naturie Hatomugi Skin Conditioner (also gel and milk) toner. It seems like a popular Japanese beauty product at a low cost and in many drugstores. But what does it actually do, and what can it be compared to? Is a comparison to niacinamide accurate, for example?

I have heard the claim that centella asiatica helps vitamin C (ascorbic acid) work better? Have you discussed this already?

What about the Purito Wonder Releaf Centella Serum Unscented? Is it good? I’m confused now…

Is there any research that compares centella vs silicone scar gel for wound healing?

Hi! Would you consider/ have you already done an episode about silver in skincare?

I think the most important thing that people tend to forget that the skin's primary function is to act as a barrier against the environment. And it can only absorb a miniscule amount of products. Most barely get through the stratum corneum. Our skin is not a sponge. You need the exact enviroment and PH for penetration. However, nowadays, its all about consumerism. Thats why im not a fan on kbeauty products. Its all novelty imo. Unless is sunscreen. Most of the kbeauty products are the same "safe" "hydrating" ingredients for marketing. And also, these self care trend is pushing consumerism as well, and practically wasting cash. Because we know that skin barely absorbs much. It serves its purpose as a barrier. Kbeauty is the same as every beauty brand. Fake it till you make it. Because humans are creatures of convenience. Tbh, the best way is to lead a healthy lifestyle and exercise. But hey, humans are lazy. I rather pay a for a so called miracle product and slap it on to fix all our issues. 😂Nonetheless, im in that bubble too 🗿🤦‍♀. i heard that centella , vitamin c and glycolic acid can build 4x the collagen? Is that true?

Do you absolutely HAVE TO do the show while you're high??
