Derma Notes: Evidence-led skincare explainers.
Derma Notes
Our editorial standards
The standards behind every Derma Notes article.
Criteria first
Picks are judged against stated criteria, not against what is new or loud.
Sources over claims
Marketing copy is a starting point; we look for the documentation behind it.
Tradeoffs in the open
We say what an option gives up, not only what it does well.
Kept current
We correct and update pages when better information appears.
