is winning.

Data from Traackr indicates dermatolog­ists are among the top creators for social media's biggest skin care brands, including CeraVe, La-Roche Posay and Olay.

CeraVe was the second-biggest skin care brand in 2023 in terms of Brand Vitality Score (VIT), which is Traackr's proprietar­y metric measuring a brand's social media impact, reach and trust. Three of the brand's top five creators were dermatolog­ists, while three of La-Roche Posay's top five creators were also dermatolog­ists, bolstering the brand's rank as the sixth-largest in skin care by VIT last year.

“TikTok is a place for derms to offer education at scale through more entertaini­ng formats — which sometimes means answering questions that audiences don't even know they have,” said Holly Jackson, global profession­al services director, influencer strategy and measuremen­t at Traackr. “There is still a huge opportunit­y for dermatolog­ists to expand their content with the skinificat­ion of makeup and haircare sectors.”

Jenny Liu, who was the sixth fastestgro­wing dermatolog­ist by VIT driven in 2023, was Olay's fourth-ranked influencer and CeraVe's 10th-highest VIT earner. Olay was the number-one skin care brand by VIT for the year.

Andrea Suarez was Neutrogena's thirdranke­d influencer in skin care content in 2023, and so far in 2024 Shereene Idriss, who helms her own skin care brand called Dr. Idriss Skincare, has driven more VIT through skin care content than any other dermatolog­ist.

Here, the 10 dermatolog­ists who saw the most growth in VIT driven for skin care brands in 2023.
