The Liz Moody Podcast · Ranking Skincare Advice From Social Media (with Dr. Sam Ellis) · 25 May 2026 podcast

You can find really good moisturizers, cleansers, anti-aging products, all at a much more affordable price point.

So anything that's touting that it's worth this like crazy high price tag, I would really put it F tier.

In terms of skincare and things you can do, I think topical estrogen is something I get asked about quite a bit.

I think it's become a lot more popular or at least more people know about it, whether they're going through a women's healthcare company to apply topical estrogen or they're asking if they can use their vaginal estrogen on their face.

And I would put that somewhere between like a C and a B tier because if you are truly...

estrogen depleted in some way, you're in like perimenopause, adding estrogen topically to the skin can be helpful.

We have really early preliminary data to show that it can help with things like skin hydration and firmness and maybe even collagen production.

But again, it's a bit of a safety thing because you have to ensure that you're not over applying it.

You're not getting too much systemic absorption, which if you're applying it

conservatively to like facial skin, for example, but a lot of it has to do with the formulation of the estrogen.

But I think it's something worth exploring if you're like, how could I boost my routine even more?

But until you are in like perimenopause, a bit irrelevant.

The other thing I get asked about a lot is oral collagen and whether or not that is something that can be beneficial for the skin.

And I used to say

I would say previously, I would have put this as like A or B tier advice because there were good systematic reviews that showed that it was helpful.

But one came out in 2025 that showed that all of the studies that show that it's helpful are sponsored by industry.

So that's a little bit tricky because there's also studies that weren't sponsored by industry that didn't show benefit.

When it comes to skin health specifically in taking oral collagen, it can still be helpful for things like joint health.

And there are a lot of people anecdotally who will say that oral collagen has been very helpful for their

skin, their hair, their nails.
