Dr Sandra Lee, known commonly as Dr Pimple Popper, is a Youtube sensation and the world’s best known dermatologist. After she began uploading videos of her work in 2010, she remained relatively unknown for five years, but her videos rose to fame in 2015 for her sometimes gross, but always fascinating skin treatments. Viewers became obsessed with watching her pop pimples, blackheads and all manner of cysts. Even five years after she began to get noticed, her videos are still wildly popular as people line up to see something you can’t view anywhere else.
After her Youtube channel began racking up followers – now surpassing the six million mark – Dr Lee was offered her own TV show, signing with TLC to create Dr Pimple Popper. The show proved popular enough to have already made four series, with more on the way.
In addition to spending a lot of time on screen, Dr Lee has also released her own skincare brand, SLMD Skincare. Though she’s best known for her pimple popping, the skincare line focuses on caring for skin from home with acne cleansers and moisturizers. Her skincare Instagram also focuses on being positive about the skin you’re in, often posting candidly about the beauty of skin, no matter what condition it’s in. For her pimple popping fans, Dr Lee also promotes comedone extractors which can be used at home for safe blackhead removal and pimple popping.
