Summary
On this special episode of the SheerLuxe Podcast, we’re recording high above London with incredible skyline views alongside Caudalie to dive deep into one of the beauty industry’s biggest skincare conversations: hyperpigmentation, dark spots and achieving brighter, more even skin. Nana is joined by consultant dermatologist Dr. Ewoma Ukeleghe, Caudalie founder, Mathilde Thomas and SheerLuxe’s beauty contributor Orin Carlin for an honest, informative conversation around skin confidence, skincare myths and the ingredients that actually work.
The group unpack why hyperpigmentation disproportionately affects deeper skin tones, the biggest mistakes people make when treating dark spots, and why SPF is the ultimate non-negotiable. Plus, Mathilde shares the fascinating story behind Caudalie Vinoperfect Radiance Serum – the cult product that sells every 15 seconds worldwide – while Dr. Ewoma explains the science behind melanin production, inflammation and building a skincare routine that delivers real results.
Expect expert advice, relatable skincare chats, product recommendations and plenty of glow-enhancing tips throughout.
