Well and Good posted  "This pill (not *the* pill) helps to banish hormonal acne—here’s what to know" featuring Dr. Purvisha Patel and Visha Skincare.

Huffington Post posted "Do Skin Care Products Need To Tingle To Prove They're Working?" featuring Dr. Purvisha Patel. The article includes Dr. Patel's expert commentary on product efficacy. A lot of people ― this writer included ― like to think that if a skin care product tingles when applied, it must be working.
