Smart Skincare, Diabetes Insights, and Cancer Recovery: What New Research Shows

Choosing effective skincare doesn’t have to mean splurging, dermatologists say. The key is selecting products with proven ingredients. Over-the-counter retinol creams can help soften fine lines and support collagen production, while niacinamide and vitamin C offer additional skin-boosting benefits. Experts also stress that daily sunscreen use remains essential year-round.

In health research, Spanish scientists have identified a strong link between type 2 diabetes and hearing loss. Their study found that 41% to 72% of participants with diabetes experienced some degree of hearing impairment, likely caused by microcirculatory changes that affect the cochlea, the inner-ear structure crucial for hearing.

Cancer recovery research highlights another ongoing concern: long-term nerve damage in the feet caused by chemotherapy. A study published in the Journal of Military Health (JMH) reports that fewer than one in five survivors seek podiatry care even within five years after treatment. Researchers urge oncology teams to encourage earlier podiatric evaluations to help reduce complications from chemo-related neuropathy.
