Trigger warning for human suffering.

The Murky history of one of our favourite anti aging drugs- Tretinoin. Dr Albert Kligman was a very famous dermatologist and researcher. He made a lot of the most significant discoveries in modern skincare and is often called the father of cosmeceuticals. He was also apparently devoid of human kindness and experimented on humans and animals with a total disregard for the safety and comfort of his subjects. This is the first part of our podcast about him and the experiments he performed at Holmesburg prisoners. Beware if you are of a sensitive nature.

Lots of information for the podcast was obtained from a book called "Acres of Skin" by Allen Hornblum in 1998.
