353. Why Skincare Results Take So Long: The Science of Skin Cell Turnover
If you’ve ever ditched a serum after two weeks because “it wasn’t doing anything,” this Expert episode is for you. We’re breaking down the real timelines for skincare results, from the first day your product starts working biologically to when you’ll actually see a difference in the mirror.
From vitamin C to retinol, acids to peptides, we unpack:
- The average skin cell cycle (and why it slows with age)
- How long common active ingredients take to show visible results
- When to push through and when to give up on a product
- Lifestyle factors that can sabotage your progress (yes, skipping SPF counts)
- Simple ways to track your results without obsessing
But first, Sadaf's back from her European summer vacation and gives us the rundown on her trip, including which beauty products she actually used.
Plus, in Win, Bin or Recycle?, we weigh in on SKIMS’ new controversial “shapewear for your face,” and in Adore Anonymous, we troubleshoot an itchy, bumpy rash that popped up post-Europe trip.
If patience isn’t your skincare strong suit, this might change your perspective.
