Whenever we have a major skin issue that we just can’t let pass, making an appointment with a dermatologist is automatic. It’s natural that we trust dermatologists with our skin because they have studied it for years and have decades of experience in dealing with so many skin problems, big or small. Yet we can’t always go to a derm every single time. While there are many derm-approved skin care products, some skin docs have delved into the beauty industry and come up with their own skin care lines. Check out these best skin care lines developed by dermatologists.
