Why Everyone’s Turning to Minoxidil for Hair Growth

Minoxidil tends to be most helpful with androgenetic alopecia, which usually looks like gradual thinning at the crown or around the hairline. But it can also benefit others—it is sometimes recommended to support regrowth after a shedding event, provided the underlying cause is also being addressed. For example, if you’re seeing stress-related shedding after a major life event, you can try minoxidil to help with regrowth—assuming the trigger has been resolved.

The Vanicream Gentle Facial Cleanser is a frequent go-to for patients with sensitive, prone-to-irritation skin barriers—and plenty of pros stand by the no-frills gel formula.

Three cheers for Alastin’s C-Radical Defense Antioxidant Serum—because not one, not two, but three of the dermatologists we spoke with named it as a top vitamin C pick.

Even those with chronic skin conditions can handle it.

Dermatologists React to Alix Earle’s Skin-Care Brand, Reale Actives | Allure

The dermatologists Allure spoke with do not have the products in their possession and have not physically tried the brand. So far, though, they seem to be on board with Get Bare, Earle’s cleansing balm, which lists squalane, green tea extract, and vitamin E as key ingredients. Oil-based cleansers like this one are very effective at dissolving and removing sunscreen and makeup, especially when used as part of a double-cleanse routine. As long as you are using a cleanser afterwards to wash off the balm residue well, the ingredients in this should be safe for some acne-prone patients.

The Best Moisturizers for Oily Skin to Reduce Shine and Improve Pores, According to Dermatologists

It might seem counterintuitive to apply more moisture on top of an already oily face. But skipping out on moisturizer because you have oily skin can do more harm than good.

Does Working Out Help Psoriasis or Make It Worse?

If you have psoriasis, you probably know that it’s an inflammatory condition. And if you exercise regularly—say, by sweating it out in a HIIT class or lifting heavy weights—you might be scratching your head, perhaps literally and figuratively, wondering if the acute inflammation from these workouts is sending your system into overdrive.

We asked dermatologists to see if your workouts of choice can either help or hurt psoriasis, and how to adjust your routine to avoid exacerbating flares.

The Best Facial Sunscreens You’ll Actually Enjoy Wearing

Daily sunscreen use remains inconsistent. There has been a genuine shift in how consumers think about sunscreen, but the majority of people still aren’t wearing it every day.
