The Truth About Acne: Triggers, Treatments & Gut Health with Dr Justine Kluk

Acne isn’t just skin-deep — it can affect your confidence, relationships, and even career. In this information-packed episode, consultant dermatologist Dr Justine Kluk joins Dr Ellie Rashid to bust myths and offer solutions. They talk acne triggers and treatments (like tretinoin) as well as the truth about supplements and the role hormones, gut health and stress play in pimple production. They also offer their best advice on coping with the emotional toll of breakouts.

Amongst all this, Justine shares her personal journey with acne, words of wisdom we all need to hear, and her holy grail skincare products for acne prone skin.

So, whether you’re struggling with spots or supporting someone who is, this is the acne masterclass you didn’t know you needed.
