David Colbert, MD A famous dermatologist to the stars, Colbert has a top end skincare regiment that movie stars use when they need to be ready for a big event.

Harold Lancer, MD

Harold Lancer, MD According to Lancer, who counts Jennifer Lopez and Kim Kardashian among his clients, you should stay away from toners and benzoyl peroxide. These items can really dry out your skin, which strips it of the oils it needs to keep bacteria from getting in your pores and causing blemishes. Instead, he recommends using an oil absorbing product to help prevent pimples and keep your skin beautiful.
