Terms
What this site is, what it is not, and the limits of what you can rely on.
This is general information, not medical advice. Guides describe common practice and typical formulations. They are not a diagnosis, a prescription or personalised advice for your skin. Acne that scars, persistent redness or irritation, a reaction to a product, or any skin change that worries you belongs with a dermatologist or your doctor.
Patch test before you commit. Any new cleanser can irritate. Test on a small area for a few days before using it on your whole face, and stop if your skin reacts.
Ingredients and formulations change. Where a guide names a product or an ingredient list, that is a description at the time of the last review. Brands reformulate without announcing it, and the pack in your hand is the authority on what is in it.
Prices are indicative. Every figure on this site is an order-of-magnitude guide and varies by country, retailer and pack size.
No commercial relationship with the brands we discuss. We are not paid for coverage and we do not sell the products we write about. Nothing here is an offer to sell.
Accuracy and availability. We correct errors as we find them and re-date the affected guide, but we do not warrant that every page is complete or current, or that the site is available without interruption.
Content ownership. The text and design of this site belong to us. Quoting a passage with a link back is welcome; republishing whole guides is not.
