The future of skin care is being shaped by ingredients that promise everything from cellular repair to regenerative results, but which ones are truly worth the hype? This week we welcome Michael Q. Pugliese, third-generation CEO of Circadia, accomplished skin care formulator, and award-winning educator, to break down the emerging ingredients and technologies redefining professional aesthetics. From PDRN, exosomes, NAD+, and 5-ALA to the growing focus on skin resilience, recovery, and circadian biology, Michael separates science from speculation while sharing the trends every professional should have on their radar before they become mainstream.
