Editorial policy

How I Want Better Skin researches, writes, sources, reviews and updates its skincare guides.

How guides are made

Every guide starts with a question readers actually ask. We research it, write it in plain language, and edit it to be readable on a phone in a few minutes.

Sourcing

When an article discusses science, ingredients, health or GLP-1-related subjects, claims should be supported by reputable sources and linked where appropriate. Personal experience and opinion are labelled as such and kept distinct from established evidence.

Dates and updates

Articles display a published date, and a revised date when they have been meaningfully updated. We update guidance when the information changes rather than leaving stale advice in place.

Expert review

Some science- or health-heavy articles may carry a named reviewer credit. A review credit is only shown when a real, named, qualified person has actually reviewed that specific article. We never display a medical-review badge by default.

Claims we don’t make

We do not promise that skincare can completely reverse loose skin, restore lost facial fat, or deliver unrealistic results. We do not publish invented testimonials, results or credentials.

Commercial relationships

Relevant commercial relationships are disclosed in the article where the product appears. See advertising & partnerships and our disclosure policy.
