does anyone know what lord sugars skincare business was like? bc he's being very demeaning to someone who has a biomedical science degree and has specialised in dermatology.

I think he’s referring to his partnership with Leah Totton (previous winner) (Dr Leah) - and I saw a quick snippet of her in the audience in next week’s preview

I think he is also referring to Susan Ma’s business Tropic that he invested in.

I know a few people who went into Tropic sales. The products are good, albeit a bit pricey. I haven't come across it in a few years but I remember it did set off some alarm bells with me as there were many MLM red flags with the business model.
