The doctor also said that ordinary peeling solution is ‘actually great, but not for beginners’ and is ‘best if added to consistent skincare routine’.
In one clip, Dr Shah added that jade rollers, an ancient Chinese medicine which has been used for generations to decrease puffiness and increase circulation wasn’t harmful, but also doesn’t work.
He said that CBD oil, a trendy relaxant that comes from the Cannabis plant, overpromises results as ‘not enough research has been done’ and that coffee face scrubs and ginger pore masks are damaging to the skin.
The doctor also said that hydrocortisone shouldn’t be used by acne sufferers.
Dr Shah, who is married to another doctor, has racked up more than 672,000 videos and five million likes for his informative content on TikTok.
Many flocked to the comments of his latest videos to thanks him for sharing the information.
