1173. Dr. Pimple Popper: The Real Reason You Still Have Acne (and How to Fix It)



Hey, Heal Squad! It’s a spooktacular week, and we’re talking about something that haunts us all… pimples! Yep, nothing’s scarier than a breakout right before an event, but have no fear, because Dr. Sandra Lee (aka Dr. Pimple Popper) is here to help us face our skin fears once and for all.

In this episode, Dr. Lee and Maria dive into what’s really behind acne, and spoiler: it’s not just stress or skincare, it’s your hormones. She breaks down the science behind breakouts, how to tell the difference between whiteheads, blackheads, and cysts, and what actually works when it comes to treating them.

They also unpack why acne scars are so hard to treat, the truth about popular products like Retin-A and benzoyl peroxide, and why you don’t need to spend thousands to heal your skin. It’s everything you wish your skincare routine came with: real answers and zero judgment. 💛


HEALERS & HEAL-LINERS: 

  • Your hormones tell the real story. Dr. Pimple Popper breaks down how hormonal fluctuations are often the root cause of acne, especially adult breakouts.

  • Not all pimples are created equal. From blackheads to cystic acne, Dr. Lee explains the difference between each type (and why the treatment that works for one can actually make another worse).

  • Acne scars are forever,  prevention is key. Dr. Lee reveals why acne scars are nearly impossible to remove completely and shares what you can do early on to stop them from forming in the first place.
