    My favorite podcast
    This has quickly become one of my favorite podcasts. I had a list of questions for my NP injector and landed on this podcast before my appointment. Dr. Mina covered and answered the majority of my questions in just one podcast episode! I was so impressed. Now I’m binging all of the past episodes to get caught up. So much great advice from someone I feel I can trust.

    I love the amount of information Dr Mina packs into a show. It’s fact after fact and helpful knowledge wrapped up in a quick bite sized segment.

    Real big love!
    Dr. Mina is a rockstar! Her podcast is relatable and actionable. A tasty blend of wisdom, science, humor, and skin tips for real people living real life.
  • Greenredstarz
    Misleading titles
    I find this podcast to have mis leading titles, so I listen for 30 minutes and am disappointed by the information. For example the “get better skin while you sleep” was not about skin whatsoever. This episode was tips to get better sleep and “CREATE” a routine before bedtime. Nothing about getting better skin…these misleading episode titles will likely prevent be from being a consistent listener.

    Excellent resource on dermatology!
    The SkinReal is an amazing resource on all skin related questions. With so many social media platforms these days, it can be hard to weed out what’s true and what’s not. Dr. Mina is a board certified dermatologist and skin cancer surgeon. Her interviews are all with physicians who are specialists in their field. As a fellow dermatologist, I learn a lot of practical information from her interviews and recommend the podcast to my patients!
  • NPerullo
    Who knew good skincare could be so simple?
    Interesting, educational, and most importantly, easily applicable! With all the different messaging coming our way, this podcast takes all the anxiety away from trying to maintain beautiful skin as you age.
  • JeffreyDover
    The Skin Real
    What a great place to get all the information you need. Dr. Mina is a Harvard trained dermatologist and she interviews authorities in her very insightful and helpful podcast. Why not get the answers from the true experts rather than self-proclaimed skin experts.
  • G ma33n
    Skin care advice!
    Very informative and practical advice with a diverse set of skin related topics!
  • ProducerKFC
    I didn’t know I needed this podcast!
    As a pretty low key, granola, Colorado girl, I have a pretty relaxed view on my skin care but I will now be binge listening to the episodes after I listened to my first episode. If you are “natural” like me, this podcast is for you too!! So helpful and understandable.
  • Moxiee18
    Dermatologist Talk is the best!
