Tagging my comment onto this one because we might mean the same thing. I’ve seen a lot of haircare products lately that contain popular skincare actives (vitamin C & hyaluronic acid in particular). Are they actually beneficial for hair as well or are they just used for marketing purposes due to their popularity in skincare?
I’d also love to see content about different bond repair products and how/if they work (I’ve seen the Olaplex video of course, but I’ve understood that most bond repair products out there actually target different types of bonds than Olaplex?). OPI also recently came out with a bond repair nail serum which I’d love to hear your thoughts on!
Been loving all the haircare content you’ve put out recently, Michelle! (And congrats on getting married!)
On the topic of hair, could you please review & talk about the science behind K18, how it differes from Olaplex, and which one is really your best bet based on scientific evidence?
Really interested in hair care lately. I have very little understanding of what is going on with hair care products and what a good basic routine looks like.
I recently heard that mineral and chemical sunblocks can't be worn together because they deactivate each other. I find this strange. I've often worn both - one will stay on better than the other. I don't necessarily apply them right next to each other, however.
Is that comment really true, and if so, wouldn't it make mixed sunblocks not work, ie, those containing zinc and/or titanium dioxide in addition to chemical sunscreens. The statement doesn't make sense to me.
I would really like to have your take on the connection between topical retinoids and dry eyes. I have tried to read what’s available in literature, but it doesn’t seem conclusive. And yet, for me, it’s absolutely clear that whenever I try to use a retinoid on my upper face (not close to the eyes), my tear film is disrupted and I cannot wear my contacts..
I love seeing your debunking posts and videos. I swear I save every single one for future reference.
Speaking of, I would love a post on how someone who doesn’t have access to full journal articles would be able to sift through misinformation.
Specifically, how does someone understand something when Wikipedia can be wrong, biased (by not linking to correct information, only getting the info from an abstract and quoting that instead of the full paper, etc.), or have misinformation presented with such an impartial written voice that it seems to be authoritative and correct instead?
Basically, how does someone *find* the correct information? It is one thing to learn how to judge the merit or validity of a scientific article, but another to find the article in the first place.
I feel like most information I know about doing so, and that I’ve seen, is aimed at STEM majors, or other university-level education, not at someone who doesn’t have access to all that helpful information in the first place.
Thanks again for all you do! I love reading your blog and learn so much from your videos as well!!
I would love to see something on how to treat or get rid of dark eye circles under the eyes.
I’d love to see something regarding actives in shampoos! Are those worth it? Or is it just washing stuff down the drain?

I realise this probably won't get answered but what shampoo/hair products would you recommend for thinning hair?
I would live to hear your thoughts on Caster Oil. Is it really the fix for just about everything 🤔

I’d like a post about whether products designed for your face (e.g. moisturizer, sunscreen) are safe to use on your lips!

How about your take on “natural preservation” versus “synthetic preservation”.
