Organic skincare, natural skincare is a big trend right now in the beauty industry. People really want to use things that are safe and effective for their skin. Unfortunately, there's no clear definition of what is organic or what is natural. These are mostly marketing terms that are not regulated by the FTA.

I advise my patients to use skin care regimens that have been tested and pure reviewed, well designed, controlled studies preferably that have been published in leading medical journals. I think if it can stand up to these tests whether it's natural, organic, or synthetic, it will be healthy and effective to use for your skin.
