01 — HOW IT WORKS
From thousands of reviews to a few honest numbers.
Every published analysis shows its sample, its sources and what it cannot tell you. That is the whole point.
01
Collect
We capture public reviews from named retailers for the exact product and size, and log every source and date.
02
Count
Each review is coded by topic — texture, irritation, breakouts — and by direction: positive, negative or neither.
03
Publish with limits
You see the counts, the denominators and the caveats. We never turn them into stars or a single score.

4 topics publishedPRINCIPLE I
Counts, not stars.
Topic counts describe what a captured set of reviews reported. We never average them into a rating.
PRINCIPLE II
No paid placement.
Brands cannot buy coverage, order or badges. Affiliate links never change what we publish.
PRINCIPLE III
Not medical advice.
Formulas change and skin differs. Check the package, and see a clinician for skin conditions.
