The Magic of Peptides: Why They’re Transforming Skincare Forever
Peptides changed my professional life—and they just might change your skin, too. In this episode, I’m sharing everything I’ve learned about peptides: what they are, how they work, and why they’re one of the most powerful tools in modern skincare. You’ll hear about the five main peptide families, why not all peptide creams are created equal, and how to get the most out of your products without damaging your skin barrier. I’ll also bust some common myths and share real advice on what to combine—and what to avoid—when using peptides. Whether you’re new to skincare or a seasoned pro, this episode will help you understand peptides in a whole new way.Connect with us:Meder by Dr. Tiina MederMeder Beauty InstagramMeder Beauty FacebookMeder Beauty TikTokMeder Beauty LinkedInListen to the Meder Beauty Podcast on Apple Podcasts

Understanding Acne: Myths vs. Science
Let’s talk about acne. Almost everyone experiences it, yet it’s still so misunderstood. In this episode, I’m sharing everything I’ve learned—from the science behind what’s really happening in the skin to the reasons why acne is more common (and more chronic) than ever. We’ll talk about hormones, stress, gut health, and why the old approach of “just dry it out” doesn’t work. I’ll also explain how new, microbiome-friendly ingredients can treat acne gently and effectively—without irritation, and even during pregnancy. If you’re dealing with acne or supporting someone who is, I hope this episode helps you understand the condition better and gives you new tools to treat it with care.Connect with us:Meder by Dr. Tiina MederMeder Beauty InstagramMeder Beauty FacebookMeder Beauty TikTokMeder Beauty LinkedInListen to the Meder Beauty Podcast on Apple Podcasts
