I love the content and find it very informative, but I can’t stand Gloria’s baby voice. I wish she would lean away from the cutesy pronunciation thing. Unfortunately I have to unfollow. Just buy their book instead

Have been really enjoying the podcast, it is informative and enjoyable. Surprised to read some of the negative reviews. Love the animal fun fact segment, it helps break up the monotony, otherwise there is a risk of this turning into a boring lecture. It is very easy to understand the content and I for one enjoy the light banter. Ads are part of the free podcasts and as a fellow woman I am happy to support the hustle. Truly appreciate the effort, keep it up. Thank you!

I really like the topics discussed. But it's just too hard on the ears after a few minutes with all the giggling & poor enunciation. Are the hosts really drinking beer? Lol. Not being mean, just curious & that would make sense

If you thought this podcast was very educational and super charming, the new format with a closer focus on a specific ingredients seems even better. Taking the time to cover a topic comprehensively is really interesting. Thank you so much for bringing skin science to the lay person and addressing some of the misconceptions prevalent in the media.

These ladies are wonderfully talented, like able and obviously intelligent. There’s just too much fuller in each episode for me. I want to get to the point, obtain the data and move on. Banter and repeated ads for their skincare line takes up too much of my time so I’m going to take a break from this pod. A lot of reviewers have issues with the host’s voices/audio. I don’t find it problematic (and I’m a voice artist so pretty critical). Gloria has an accent similar to many of my Asian friends who are speaking English as their secondary language/hail from homes where the parents don’t speak English primarily. Personally I think she’s just fine and is easily understandable.

Love a deep dive into antioxidants, and these two definitely delivered on the Bakuchiol episode. I hope they cover topical melatonin in skincare and affordable products that have it.

Anyone who is saying they can’t understand the hosts needs to get their ears checked or maybe their world is just shook by even the slightest accent. Either way, disregard the comments about sound quality. This is a great podcast, very listenable, and very honest. So many beauty podcasts have just turned into prolonged ads (I’m looking at you Gloss Angeles, Fat Mascara, etc.). I never get the impression Chemist Confessions is trying to force anything on me - not even their own products! I really appreciate their knowledge and integrity.

Absolutely love this podcast. The info is spot on and I love that we also get their personalities. I think Gloria’s voice is cute so stop being jerks. You can understand them just fine!

Eliminate all the obnoxious giggling and each episode will be about half the time. Seriously, it is too much. They do provide lots of good info though.

This podcast is full of great information and the hosts are smart and funny. I have no problems with the audio.

Love your info but it’s impossible to listen because you guys need to practice not mumbling, especially Gloria. Losing so many of your words makes this podcast really hard to listen to.

There is a lot of BS on the internet and in podcasts about skincare - I LOVE learning about it from a scientific perspective from experts. And I love their silliness and sense of humor! I do sometimes wish the audio quality was a bit better, but that's not anything that prevents me from thoroughly enjoying the podcast. If you love skincare, you've gotta listen!

Love the concept and information so far but please speak up! I have the volume turned up all the way and can’t hear what you’re saying consistently. This podcast is unlistenable unless you’re willing to constantly rewind or just accept that you’re not going to pick up everything they say. I was listening in my car one day and had the volume turned up all the way so I could hear. That helped a little bit until the hosts simultaneously burst into laughter and I think I permanently damaged my hearing. Obviously that’s extremely annoying. I shouldn’t have to buy 300 dollar noise cancelling headphones to be able to enjoy your podcast. The hosts are likeable but I wish they would speak into the mic consistently, speak up and/or get better audio equipment. I should probably give this podcast 2-3 based on the fact that it’s failing at its intended purpose but I like the concept too much.

I know nothing about skincare so I appreciate what these two do to put some science and logic to the skincare world. A refreshing, down to earth, hilarious take. Looking forward to hearing more.

As an esthetician I so, so value these two’s knowledge about the industry and their humor throughout the episodes. I can’t wait to try some of their products!

It could have been an interesting podcast, but the 2 speakers are inaudible: theirs are not radio voices- on top of the recording quality being poor- and their delivery is grating (one of the 2 speakers seems to just emit burst of sounds like a squeaky toy in the background.) Radio voices, these are definitely not. I lost attention after 10 minutes: the topic is lost in an unpleasant listening experience.

The content is interesting but I just can’t understand what you’re saying. One host in particular mumbles like crazy.

Hi! I really want to like the podcast, lots of interesting topics and lots to learn! I especially like the episode about sunscreen. But it was difficult to listen to. It’s not that the speaking is too fast, it’s more about enunciating. Some of the technical words or chemicals sounded slurred, especially from Gloria. Don’t know if it’s the microphone or just simple not enunciating.

I always love listening to these two. They’re entertaining and informative. But the audio quality seems to be getting worse as the they go on. In episode 6 (which for some reason is labeled 7 in Apple podcasts) is utterly unlistenable. I hope they can sort this out because it is not on par with the quality of their products and content.

I’m so happy one of my favorite instagram accounts has finally started a podcast! Gloria and Victoria are my go-to source for solid, science based skincare recommendations. I highly recommend them to anyone who’s ever been curious about the chemistry behind the marketing. If I may offer one piece of feedback- sometimes with the way the sound is engineered, the voices are quite soft and difficult to hear at times. I hope for next season there might be a way to mix the sound a little “stronger.” Thank you both for all that you do! :)

Congratulations! So excited for this new adventure. Looking forward to learning more and to see this podcast progress. Yay science 😊
