Content creators have captured this young audience by convincing them that a comprehensive skin-care routine is their one-way ticket to complexion-induced bliss… but the information packaged in their 30-second videos doesn’t exactly paint a full picture.

John Cadwallader shares his journey of hope and perseverance after CAR-T cell therapy. “Every day is a gift,” says John Cadwallader reflecting from his hospital room.
