Who knows about skin care more--doctors, cosmetics or drug companies?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Dermatologists: A dermatologist spends 3 years in training about the skin, care of the skin, and treatment of abnormalities of the skin. While we need the products developed by the cosmetic and drug companies, the people in the companies have limited general information about the skin.
