## Resource

Derm Next Door is back with Episode 14 and we’re breaking down Allure’s 2026 Beauty Trends Report from a dermatologist’s perspective. Board-certified dermatologists Ali & Reem go trend-by-trend to separate marketing from medicine, including: The rise of retinal (retinaldehyde) over retinol Vitamin C upgrades and what happens now that the SkinCeuticals patent has expired Pre- and post-procedure skincare (and what’s actually worth the splurge) The future of sunscreen, luxury mineral formulas, and the new UV filter bemetrizinol (BEMT) The estrogen cream debate in perimenopause & menopause skincare Biohacking, longevity culture, and what that even means for your skin Injectable-inspired skincare (exosomes, PDRN, salmon sperm- yes, we went there) The explosion of at-home beauty devices and whether they’re worth it We also share Ali’s real-time Fraxel experience, red light device thoughts, and our honest predictions for what 2026 will really look like in dermatology. 🎥 This episode is also available on YouTube if you want to watch the full conversation. 📲 Follow us on TikTok at @dermnextdoor for clips, skincare breakdowns, and derm hot takes.
