Summary
In this episode of Skin Anarchy, Dr. Ekta Yadav sits down with Dr. Antony Nakhla, board-certified dermatologic surgeon and founder of Eighth Day, to explore how regenerative medicine is reshaping modern skincare. Known for bringing reconstructive precision to beauty, Dr. Nakhla shares how his background in Mohs micrographic surgery inspired a mission to apply real wound-healing science to everyday skincare — helping people look like the best version of themselves, not someone else.
At the heart of Eighth Day is its groundbreaking Peptide-Rich Plasma® technology — a clinically engineered blend of bioidentical peptides, growth factors, and amino acids that mimic the body’s natural healing processes. “We speak the language of skin,” says Nakhla, describing how the brand’s formulas communicate directly with skin cells to restore balance, resilience, and structure from within.
Dr. Nakhla also breaks down why delivery systems — not just ingredients — are the future of skincare. With advanced multi-weight hyaluronic acids and actives like L-ornithine that preserve fat cells and dermal architecture, Eighth Day targets true regeneration at the cellular level.
Rejecting beauty buzzwords, Dr. Nakhla calls for a return to data-driven, biologically intelligent skincare, grounded in clinical validation, prevention, and precision. “Luxury isn’t packaging,” he says. “It’s proof.”
Tune in to hear how Eighth Day is redefining what anti-aging means — merging medicine, science, and artistry to create a new era of bio-intelligent beauty.

| 0:00.0 | Hey guys, welcome back to Skin Anarchy. It's Zecta. I'm really excited about our episode today because |
| 0:05.0 | we're interviewing a brand that's really been kind of a game changer for a while now. I'm sure a lot of |
| 0:10.2 | you have heard about them. So without further ado, please welcome Dr. Anthony Naclo, who's the founder of |
| 0:16.2 | 8th Day. Welcome, Dr. Nackelon. I'm so excited to host you. Thank you so much. Thanks for having me. |
| 0:22.9 | Yeah, I'm excited to dive in. I've been a fan of eighth day, I think long before we connected. |
| 0:27.7 | I remember seeing your products and trying them myself prior to ever connecting with your team. |
| 0:33.9 | And I find it to be very unique, your approach coming from the regenerative side |
| 0:38.0 | of medicine and bringing it to skincare. I'd love for you to walk us down memory lane, |
| 0:43.1 | if you don't mind, and tell us about your medical background. What led you to creating a |
| 0:47.8 | skincare line? Yeah, thank you for that intro, and I'm humbled to hear that you've enjoyed the brand |
| 0:53.3 | and the products. So I'm a dermatologic surgeon focused on reconstructive treatments for patients that have had skin |
| 0:59.9 | cancer, specifically something called Mo's Micrographic Surgery. |
| 1:04.3 | And this is typically for facial skin cancer and people who have complicated facial tumors. |
| 1:09.6 | So working a lot with patients that have had |
| 1:12.2 | pretty disfiguring types of skin cancer and using wound healing techniques to try to help them. |
| 1:19.0 | My career began when I graduated from residency and I worked with one of the foremost dermatologists |
| 1:24.9 | in West Hollywood, who was at the time treating HIV patients with |
| 1:28.9 | what's called facial lipoatrophy. So people who had sort of lost facial volume due to the HIV |
| 1:35.2 | medications that they were taking. And this idea of bringing somebody back to baseline, |
| 1:41.3 | bringing them back to themselves again, and the power of that, it became my |
| 1:45.6 | beauty philosophy. It's what I gravitated towards, which is reconstructive work, as opposed to |
| 1:51.0 | sort of cosmetic enhancements or changing somebody's appearance to sort of meet some sort of perceived |
