Hi, I’m Sydney! 👋 If you’re new here, welcome, I’m so glad you found this little corner of the internet.

I’m a Dermatology PA and have been prescribing in clinic since 2017. This Instagram started as a creative outlet because I kept noticing the same thing with my patients, they were using products that just weren’t right for their skin, and I found myself saying the same things over and over.

So I thought … why not create a place where that information could actually live? Somewhere anyone could learn from it, not just my clinic patients.

That’s how the Skincare Matchmaker Quiz was born, a way to help people find products that genuinely work for their skin type and their budget, whether they’re a client of mine or not.

Skincare is for everyone. And I’m here to make it a whole lot less overwhelming. 💛
