Shereene Idriss

Board Certified Derm, Founder and Chief Nerd

I’m Dr. Shereene Idriss, a board-certified dermatologist in New York City. After completing George Washington University’s seven-year BA/MD program and a Tufts dermatology residency, I zeroed in on lasers and pigmentation.

What I do • Lead Idriss Dermatology, a Midtown practice for evidence-based medical and subtle cosmetic care. • Host #PillowtalkDerm (started 2018), turning dense studies into nightly clips for 1 M+ TikTok fans—mirrored on YouTube and Instagram. • Create Dr. Idriss Skincare, launched 2022 with Major Fade formulas for discoloration, now sold D2C and in U.S. Sephora.

What I’m great at • Translating journal data into clear, witty analogies that cut through hype. • Crafting pigment-safe treatments and products tested on diverse skin tones. • Building a science-first community that crowdsources questions and fact-checks misinformation.

What I’m working towards

Growing reach—expanding the #PillowtalkDerm audience so trustworthy skin info spreads faster than myths.

Scaling the brand—rolling out new products and deepening awareness online and on Sephora shelves.

From exam room to phone camera to retail aisle, my mission is constant: help everyone understand, respect, and love their skin through transparent science and inclusive storytelling.
