Walk into any beauty aisle right now and you’ll be overwhelmed. Celebrity brands, influencer launches, 15-step routines, ingredients you can’t pronounce. If you’ve ever stood there wondering what’s actually worth your money, this episode is the truth about trendy skincare you’ve been waiting for.

We sat down with Lindsay Nahmiache, CEO of Veriphy Skincare, a Canadian-founded, science-backed brand born out of research at the University of Guelph. Lindsay is pulling back the curtain on what’s really happening in the skincare industry, from white-labelled products hiding behind famous faces to the fragrance ingredients quietly disrupting your hormones.

This conversation gets into why ingredient quality matters way more than marketing hype, how Canadian skincare standards stack up against the US, and why skin minimalism is having a moment (for very good reason). If you’re building a skincare routine for acne-prone skin, this one is going to change the way you shop.

• What photoglycogen (phytospherics) is and why it’s a game-changing hydration ingredient for acne-prone skin

• Why layering too many active ingredients can actually damage your skin barrier and trigger breakouts
