SPF Myths, Sunscreen Controversies, Red Light & Why Freckles Are a Warning Sign | Dr. Dennis Gross
About this episode
Dr. Dennis Gross joins Dr. Will Cole to discuss skin health, sunscreen myths, and the implications of freckles as a warning sign.
Dr. Dennis Gross - board-certified dermatologist, melanoma researcher, and founder of Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare - joins Dr. Will Cole for a masterclass on everything your skin is trying to tell you. They cover the molecular mechanism behind UV-induced DNA damage and skin cancer, the ABCD mole-check method, why freckles signal past damage, and how to actually read an SPF label. Dr. Gross explains the difference between physical and chemical sunscreens, debunks the SPF layering myth, makes the case for two-step exfoliation, and breaks down LED light therapy - including why FDA clearance is the only marker that matters when buying a device. Plus: what's coming next in skincare, from epigenetic formulations to at-home devices. For all links mentioned in this episode, visit www.drwillcole.com/podcast .
