Daily follower snapshots from CreatorDB's longitudinal index.
Josh Zeichner, MD is a board-certified dermatologist based in New York City, where he serves as Director of Cosmetic and Clinical Research in Dermatology at Mount Sinai Hospital. Long before building a social media presence, he established himself as a trusted media voice for mainstream beauty and health publications, regularly quoted in outlets like Allure and Vogue. That press-circuit credibility translated naturally into educational short-form content, anchored by his trademarked series 'Skincare From A to Dr Z,' which frames complex dermatology topics in accessible, jargon-light language. His dual disclaimer — 'Education, NOT medical advice' — has become a defining marker of his positioning, signaling transparency to both audiences and platform compliance teams.
His audience skews heavily female and concentrates in the 25–34 bracket, a demographic with both purchasing intent and genuine skincare literacy — a valuable combination for brands. Partnerships with Alastin Skincare and Old Spice illustrate the range of his brand fit, spanning professional-grade clinical products to mass-market personal care. Engagement sits modestly above category median for the micro tier, suggesting an attentive core following rather than passive reach. His active participation in events like the Skincare Education Symposium reinforces his credibility within the professional dermatology community, which in turn strengthens his authority positioning with brand partners seeking clinician-backed endorsement in an increasingly crowded medical influencer space.
Joshzeichnermd reaches an audience concentrated in United States primarily through YouTube, and is best activated via Instagram Reels and Stories, TikTok branded content. Their sponsorship history skews toward Personal Care / Grooming, a clear signal of fit for brands in those categories. Demonstrated partners include Old Spice. Engagement on YouTube runs around 1.9%, which points to an audience better suited to category-relevant, mid-funnel campaigns than to pure-reach buys. The channel's mix of Instagram Reels and Stories and TikTok branded content lets a sponsor choose between short awareness placements and longer, more detailed integrations. Because the audience follows beauty content rather than arriving through untargeted reach, sponsorships that match the channel's subject matter tend to convert more efficiently than broad placements. A consistent, on-topic posting focus gives sponsors a predictable, brand-safe environment, lowering placement risk compared with broad, general-interest channels. Campaigns here are best measured on qualified engagement and consideration within the niche rather than on raw impression volume. For United States-focused brands in Personal Care / Grooming and related categories, Joshzeichnermd offers a defined, creative-fit audience rather than broad, low-intent impressions.

As a licensed physician, Dr. Zeichner includes that disclaimer because social media posts — however detailed — cannot substitute for an individualized clinical consultation.
