In this episode of Skin Anarchy, host Dr. Ekta Yadav sits down with Irina Mazur, Chief Product and Marketing Officer at Revieve, to explore how AI is revolutionizing beauty—not just in products, but in personalized consumer experiences. With a background in mobile tech and digital health, Irina brings a deep understanding of how data can solve real-world problems—especially in an industry where personalization has become a buzzword.

Revieve is building something different: a diagnostic platform that uses selfie-based analysis and hundreds of proprietary skin metrics to provide tailored skincare, makeup, and wellness recommendations—without collecting any personally identifiable data. But this isn’t just about tech. It’s about helping people understand the truth about their skin, bridging the gap between perception and clinical reality, and empowering consumers to make smarter, more confident choices.

Irina shares how the company’s approach to personalization goes far beyond basic filters. It adapts to the user, the brand, the category, and even the shopping environment. And for retailers, Revieve delivers serious impact: boosting conversions, increasing basket size, and even informing product development through anonymized insights.

If you're curious about the future of diagnostics in beauty, the role of AI in lifestyle-based skincare, or how trust and transparency are redefining the industry, this conversation is a must-listen. Tune in to discover how Revieve is building the infrastructure for the next generation of intelligent, ethical, and personalized

In this episode of Skin Anarchy, host Dr. Ekta Yadav sits down with Michelle Lee—trailblazing former Editor-in-Chief of Allure—for a raw and insightful conversation on what it means to reshape the beauty industry from the inside out. From redefining mainstream standards of aging to championing diversity on magazine covers and behind the scenes, Michelle opens up about the intentional decisions that sparked global conversations.

She discusses the decision to ban the term “anti-aging,” explaining that it wasn’t about rejecting aesthetic treatments—it was about removing the shame attached to getting older. Michelle also breaks down the real reason the industry feels so overwhelming today: too much pressure to be innovative and not enough focus on what actually works. As she puts it, “Not everything needs to be brand new. Sometimes, people just want products that deliver.”

Throughout the episode, Michelle shares her admiration for K-beauty and the simplicity of skincare philosophies that prioritize hydration, purity, and efficacy. She touches on the body care boom, the wellness industry’s fine line between innovation and marketing hype, and why beauty should be rooted in storytelling and substance—not noise.

If you’re curious about where beauty has been and where it’s heading—from ingredients and inclusivity to industry ethics—this episode offers a rare glimpse into the mind of a true cultural architect. Listen in for real talk, real insights, and a roadmap to a more empowering future in beauty.

Join us in this episode of Skin Anarchy as Dr. Ekta Yadav sits down with Ohad Bendror, founder and CEO of NanoSpun Technologies, to explore one of the most radical shifts in skincare: living, on-demand microbiome delivery. While most brands tout probiotics with shelf-stable claims, NanoSpun is building something entirely different—a biological platform that brings real, live cells directly to your skin.

Ohad reveals how NanoSpun’s technology works like a biotech engine—activating 100 billion+ live bacteria only when it hits your skin, preserving potency like “freshly squeezed juice.” It’s not just delivery—it’s a living factory in a face mask.

This isn’t about trends—it’s about disrupting four major layers of the skincare model: real live cells, shelf-stable dormancy, on-demand activation, and functional delivery systems. The result? Postbiotics synthesized in real time, tailored to skin concerns like acne, aging, or sensitivity.

NanoSpun isn’t just a brand—it’s a platform. From white-labeled partnerships to its in-house line Biotica 1905, it’s redefining what skincare can do. Clinical results show improvements in hydration, redness, and fine lines in just weeks.

If you’ve ever wondered what comes after serums and synthetics—this is it. Tune in to hear how NanoSpun is building the biological infrastructure of beauty and why the future of skincare is very much alive.
