The speaker mentions being a 40-year-old board-certified dermatologist and references a recent certification exam.

Do not be fooled by bioretinoids. I'm a 40 year old board certified dermatologist and as of my last certification exam, which was yesterday, bioreinoids are not a thing. Retinoids are a class on their own. Not because they're holier than thou, but because they are a subset of vitamin A derivatives that can help your skin to create juicy, plumpy, yummy, yummy dewy gooey collagen and that can help even out your skin tone and fine lines. In the process. They've been tried and true and any dermatologist under the sun, at least any reputable dermatologist under the sun will tell you this.
