Dermatologists

Posted on March 29th, 2005 by Sacha Chua

I find it difficult to trust dermatologists.

I mean, really. Now there's a good business opportunity: captive self-selected audience, little real differentiation between goods but artifically different prices, branding _all_ _over_ but no ingredients list or anything that can help you go for generics instead...

And you get to tap into one of the seven deadly sins, too.

I don't know. Maybe it's just a mild but healthy distrust of situations where you end up buying from the same person giving you advice.

Unfortunately, I don't know if we count any dermatologists among our family friends. I'd feel more comfortable with someone who saw me as more than a walk-in customer.
