No professional relationship
Reading this website, or contacting us, does not create a doctor-patient or practitioner-client relationship. The site’s editor is a registered pharmacist, not a dermatologist or physician, and articles are not individually reviewed by a doctor unless an article states this clearly in its byline.
Treatments, devices and products
Facial treatments, at-home devices and skincare ingredients affect people differently. Results described in articles or by manufacturers are not guaranteed. Before starting a new treatment, using a device or applying an active ingredient, check the manufacturer’s instructions and contraindications, patch-test new products, and seek professional advice if you have a diagnosed skin condition, are pregnant or breastfeeding, take medication that affects the skin (such as isotretinoin or retinoids), have a history of keloid scarring, or have any doubt about suitability.
Emergencies
If you experience a severe reaction (swelling of the face or throat, difficulty breathing, spreading rash, blistering or signs of infection), stop using the product and seek medical help immediately.
Accuracy
We make every effort to keep information accurate and current, and we cite recognised sources where possible, but research and product formulations change. We cannot guarantee that every statement is complete or up to date at the moment you read it. See our editorial policy for how we check and update content.
