The GetClariSync Skin Desk reviews research in dermatological science, cosmetic chemistry, and skin biology. We follow journals including the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology, the British Journal of Dermatology, JAMA Dermatology, and the International Journal of Cosmetic Science. We assess ingredients against clinical evidence rather than marketing claims and we are explicit about the concentration, vehicle, and study quality required for an effect. We are editorial researchers, not board-certified dermatologists — please consult a qualified dermatologist for persistent skin conditions, before starting prescription-strength treatments (e.g. tretinoin), or if you have sensitive or compromised skin.
