Dermatologist Shereene Idriss explains why "dermatologist tested" and "derm approved" are meaningless marketing claims that brands slap on products without real oversight or standards.

There is something about the words dermatologist tested that brands do not want you to know. I'm a board certified Derm. And guess what, Cassandra? You're right. Derm tested means jack shit. And you know what else? Derm approved you. New York City sucks. But did they go around asking every single dermatologist if they approve the product? Because half the products on the market I don't approve of, they didn't ask me.
