Dietary supplements

These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. These products are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.

Consult your doctor before taking any supplement if you are pregnant, nursing, taking medication, managing a health condition, or preparing for surgery. Keep supplements out of reach of children. Discontinue use and seek advice if you experience an adverse reaction.

Cosmetic products

Our skincare products are cosmetics. They are formulated to improve the appearance and condition of skin. They are not medicines and are not intended to treat any skin disease. Results vary between people and are not guaranteed.

Patch test any new product on the inner forearm and wait 24 hours before applying it to your face, particularly if your skin is reactive. If irritation develops, stop using the product.

Ingredient and educational content

Our ingredient pages and journal articles describe what ingredients are commonly used for in cosmetics, and note where the evidence is mixed rather than overstating it. They describe ingredients generally and are not claims about the strength or effect of any particular product.

Seek medical advice

Persistent acne, eczema, rosacea, unexplained pigmentation, or any mole or patch that is changing in size, shape or colour should be assessed by a doctor rather than treated with cosmetics.
