Welcome to the Beauty Lab
Welcome to The Beauty Lab — where skincare meets real science. I’m Mollie Kelly Tufman, PhD (Biochemistry), and I break down what actually works (and what doesn’t) in modern skincare using peer-reviewed research — not hype. From pore-minimizing actives and acne solutions to anti-aging routines, dark-spot treatments, and dry-skin repair, every guide is built to help you make smart, evidence-backed choices for your skin.
Featured in Marie Claire, Forbes, Byrdie, Glamour, and Wired — The Beauty Lab is your go-to space for skincare decoded by science.
