Tea with MD 🏥 Stanford NYU trained
✨ Founder , scalp-first clinically backed haircare
👩🏻‍⚕️ Seeing patients Hope you find this helpful!

I'm born and raised in sunny California where I did my undergrad and medical school training at Stanford. In the middle of med school I took a leap of faith and spent one year exploring journalism, working at NBC News in NYC to create medical pieces for Nightly News and The Today Show. My adventure in social media started back then as a blog, and through the years, my interest in content creation

grew to include platforms such as Instagram TikTok and YouTube. Think of me as your friendly neighborhood doc that you can ask anything to, even questions you don't want to ask your real life physician.

This or that…hair serum edition.

👉 Rosemary oil or pumpkin seed oil?
👉 Fast results or consistency?
👉 Dropper or tube?
👉 Oil or serum?
👉 Hair benefits or scalp benefits?
👉 Alcohol or alcohol-free?
👉 Supplier data or third-party clinical data?

Healthy hair isn’t built on one rule, but rather, consistency, science backed ingredients, and a scalp-first approach.

What would you choose?

After years of building, testing, refining, and honestly obsessing over every detail… is officially live 🤍

I’m so proud of what we have created. This started in clinic, seeing patients every day who wanted something that actually works and feels good to use.

This was also inspired in large part by YOU, yes you reading this caption. My community on Tea with MD asked the questions and showed me what was missing from the scalp care category.

We’re launching with the Redensify Treatment Serum + Reset Shampoo, designed to support scalp health and help hair look fuller and denser over time.

Now available at kerativ.com 🙌🏼

The honest answer is I couldn't find all the ingredients I loved in one formula. So I formulated it myself and it launches tomorrow! Tuesday 4.28 at 8AM PT.

As a small way to thank you for supporting my journey pre-launch, I have a special welcome offer for everyone who signs up before the site goes live tomorrow.

Rapid-fire rating hair growth ingredient.

👉 Redensyl 10/10. Antioxidant blend that helps calm the scalp and support fuller-looking hair.
👉 Rosemary oil 4/10. Limited data, inconsistent and can be irritating. Not a go-to for me.
👉 Kopexil 1000/10. One of my favorites. Helps improve visible density and targets the root in a way similar to minoxidil.
👉 Saw palmetto 9/10. Great in a routine. Supports fuller-looking hair but not a solo fix.
👉 Castor oil 3/10. Good for shine and conditioning, not doing much for actual growth.
👉 Caffeine 9/10. Helps stimulate the scalp and support follicles.
👉 Pumpkin seed oil 9/10. Solid botanical for helping with visible thinning.
Hair growth is not one ingredient, it’s a strategy. The best results come from combining ingredients that target different pathways.

5 hair care habits people think are healthy… but actually aren’t 👀
#1 Ignoring your scalp: Hair growth starts there. If your scalp isn’t healthy, nothing else you’re doing really matters.
#2 Wearing slicked-back styles daily: That constant tension at the hairline adds up. Over time, it can lead to traction-related thinning.
#3 Brushing wet hair from the roots: Wet hair is more fragile. Start from the ends and work your way up to minimize breakage.
#4 Using a derma roller incorrectly: Going too deep or not cleaning it properly can irritate the scalp and introduce bacteria, both of which work against a healthy environment for hair growth.
#5 Assuming air drying is always better: Leaving hair wet for long periods increases friction and breakage. A gentle blow dry on low heat can often be the better option.

And million more reasons to be grateful.

I’ve been quietly working on this for years… and I’m so excited to finally share it with you.

As a dermatologist, I’ve seen how emotional hair thinning can be. But every time I recommended a solution, I kept hearing the same thing: “I just couldn’t stick with it.” The reasons were always the same. The products were too greasy, took too long to dry down, and just weren’t enjoyable to use.

So I set out to build something different. Science-backed formulas that actually feel good to use every day. Created for my patients, my community, and anyone navigating thinning hair.
