Product Review & Research Standards

About Our Reviews

Well researched and balanced and independent product or service reviews can help you make informed decisions when you are looking to enhance your beauty. That is what our reviews are all about. We treasure your visit here and so our editors ensure the content we share is highly informative, independent, and as factual as it can be.

Our Dedicated Team

We have a team that is specially assigned to analyze and research, the products we receive from different sources. Our staff has managed to check and rate thousands of products using our crafted procedure. We believe our review criteria helps us view every major aspect of a beauty product or service that may impact the consumer. And with it, we rate the products on a scale of 1 to 10 (from worst to the most recommended). The two major phases of our review criteria are as below:

1. The Main Criteria

  • Claims versus ingredient facts
  • Product quality
  • Value

2. The Minor Criteria

  • Availability
  • Taste/Smell
  • Packaging

At DermSpotlight, our founding principles remain our key-drive and for this, we do not allow our content to be shaped by advertisers, brand ambassador opinions, or even the actual company behind the product or service. We are loyal to our promise, belief, and conviction, so we only offer honest, well-researched, and balanced product information.

What We Do

Our team subjects each beauty product or service to an intense review procedure, with safety being our first aspect to check before anything else. We research on the claims a product makes by comparing ingredient research reports from authentic sources, to see whether the facts coincide.

Beauty products receive ingredients upgrades and become better, while others end up receiving bad ratings from users, over time. For this, our editors have a schedule to ensure each article we publish is reviewed regularly to reflect the facts about its current state and potential impact on the user. For some of the products we recommend, we may receive a commission if a reader decides to purchase through our affiliate links. Read more about our disclosure policy here.

Even with that, we uphold our moral standards and uninfluenced by anyone specific brand or seller. This allows us to treat every promise a product makes as a claim that requires to be fact-checked against trusted research sources. Nevertheless, we do not shy from giving credit where it is due, as this helps ease our readers’ decision-making process.

Please note that our rating or position about a product is not permanent though. An official announcement from health regulators, the mother company, or legal complaints about an item can make us recall or change our recommendations. Not to mention situations where a government notice warns about a product, a company discontinues its product, or a brand falls out of business, all these may lead us to revise or withdraw our opinion.
