Editorial policy
Skincare choices affect how people’s skin feels and looks, and some ingredients carry real cautions. So we hold every PickedSkincare page to the same rules.
Data
- Ingredient lists, stated strengths, directions and prices come from the brand’s own page and carry a check date.
- Missing data stays missing: “not disclosed” or “check current price”, never a guess.
Evidence
- Health and usage statements are attributed to the AAD, the FDA, the National Eczema Association or a named peer-reviewed study we read.
- We report study size and length, and we don’t stretch a result on one ingredient to a whole product.
- No influencer claims, forum anecdotes or “dermatologist-loved” marketing lines as evidence.
Language
- Cosmetic wording only: products may improve the look of skin; they don’t treat, cure or heal.
- No star ratings, scores, “we tested” or invented reviews.
- Each page says who should skip a product and when to see a dermatologist instead.
Independence
- No paid placements, sponsored rankings or free products in exchange for coverage.
- A product with no affiliate program can and does win.
