Derm Directory: Meet The Dermatologists Sharing The Best Skin Advice
via Giphy
It’s simple: an appointment with a board-certified dermatologist will help you understand your skin at a deeper level (‘scuse the skincare pun). After all, they’ve dedicated more than ten years of their life to studying, understanding, and treating skin concerns, so they’ll naturally direct you toward the right path, products, and procedures. But as with all things skincare, you need to find a great derm that has experience with your skin type or concern.
The good news is, even if seeing a derm isn’t an option, these amazing derms are sharing their knowledge with all of you online. So next time you need a dose of skin info, check out this derm directory of all the skin experts who have helped us decode and understand our skin over the years. If you can get an appointment, even better!
Derms, we thank you for your service!

Why we love her: Dr. Adeline Kikam, D.O., MSc., FAAD, grew up continuously struggling to find skincare advice catered towards melanin-rich skin.

Why we love her: #SkinTok, beware – celeb derm and facial rejuvenation expert Dr. Shereene Idriss, M.D., is out to “stop the B.S. and misinformation surrounding skin care dermatology.” Dr. Idriss found herself re-educating her patients after they read and followed damaging skincare rules on the internet. She started her famous #PillowtalkDerm series to empower her “skincare nerds” with accurate skincare info… re-read: accurate! When she isn’t decoding trending ingredients and combatting myths, find her formulating for PillowTalkDerm, her new skincare line, which focuses on brightening and evening skin tone.

If you can’t book an in-person consultation, binge her videos on Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube to learn about different skincare myths, skin health, SPF, and toners.
