In this episode of Skin Anarchy, Dr. Ekta Yadav sits down with Dr. Carl Thornfeldt, founder of Epionce, to explore the science of skin barrier health decades before “barrier repair” became one of beauty’s biggest trends. Drawing from years of dermatologic research and his own childhood experience with atopic dermatitis, Dr. Thornfeldt explains why healthy skin begins not with chasing individual symptoms, but with understanding how the epidermis is designed to function and repair itself.
