Allure: The Science of Beauty

Join Allure as we explore the inextricable link between science and beauty — and don't be surprised if you discover your next favorite serum, hair mask, or scalp treatment along the way. Jenny Bailly, executive beauty director, and Dianna Mazzone, senior beauty editor, are asking the tough questions and getting the straight answers from dermatologists, cosmetic chemists, and at least one expert on climate change (we said the questions were tough). So if you’ve always wondered what a wrinkle actually is (and how retinol can make it go away), or why your hair is curly (and which polymers will give it the most spring), come get nerdy with us!

Med Spa Approved!

I work for a small Med spa, and a very science-y dermatologist/boss, and I love that this podcast is based in science and the facts! Thank you for spreading the basics in a very easy, understandable format. THANK YOU and keep it up!
My favorite podcast ever
04/18/2021
I never thought I would be so in a love with a beauty podcast, but I was wrong!!! I am in love with this podcast. It’s not just beauty it’s got history, self care and it makes science exciting!. I hope there are more of these coming!!
Love the content, hate the sound quality.
01/12/2022
First let me say, I love this podcast for its content & the breadth and depth of the subject matter. I’ve learned so much and for months looked forward to listening to each new episode. So I hate saying anything bad about it but unfortunately I have to, because it has become unlistenable. I love less that there are sponsors this season (which, I understand that you need to monetize, but could you do it in a way that it doesn’t feel like you’re tailoring your content to reflect what Pantene wants you to say?) but the thing I can’t stand, this season even more than the last, is the variation in sound quality. I’ve had to stop listening to this podcast because of the insane variations in sound quality and volume between each speaker. Even between the two hosts, every time someone talks I either have to turn my sound all the way up or all the way down and it’s exhausting. Whether I’m in my car, walking to work, doing the dishes, etc, I don’t have the ability to keep up with the sound levels of what I’m listening to like it’s a game of high speed Tetris. My partner is a sound designer & podcast sound engineer so I know that this is something that is deeply fixable, whether through equipment or a dedicated sound person, which is what makes it all the more frustrating coming from a place like Allure and not from two people in their garage (where a budgetary constraint that significantly prohibits sound quality would be understandable).
Changing my review- bad format, poorly researched
05/12/2021
Bring back the original hosts! The interviews were way better and the longer format really dove into the topic. The new short format gives very little detail and is an accurate. For example the CBD episode said to steer clear of THC, even though it’s been shown time and again that THC enables CBD to be more efficacious. Way to give into your mainstream brands.
My Fav Podcast
04/14/2021
I love this! So much information is shared along with great questions. I have learned so much. I actually appreciate when they recommend products too.
Great podcast for skincare information
03/24/2021
I was so impressed with the information that this podcast provided. The doctors were terrific and the material covered was so relevant. The women were very prepared. I have to admit to being very pleasantly surprised. I had just let my Allure subscription run out. Reading the last issue, I found out about this podcast. And, because of this great podcast, I just resubscribed. Great job!
Great info!

Loving the podcast! Great balance of science and product recommendations. Any chance we could get an episode on microcurrent devices like the NuFACE? Thanks so much!
Face Masks
02/27/2021
The Face Mask podcast was a flop. David didn’t seem certain of the things he was ‘informing’ us about. He answered “I think so” for numerous questions, and at one point recommended peel-off masks?! Yikes! I would’ve like to listen to a more knowledgeable dermatologist.
Great for beauty/skin care lovers
02/23/2021
Love these short, sweet, yet informative episodes. Definitely for those of us who love consuming anything about beauty and skin care
This is an infomercial so know that up front.
