Editorial Standards & Scientific Review Policy
Last updated: April 2026
The Radiant Skin Project is committed to providing accurate, evidence-based skincare information. This page explains how we create, review, and maintain our educational content.
Our Editorial Principles
- Evidence-based: Health-related claims are supported by peer-reviewed research, established dermatology references, or clearly identified emerging evidence.
- Transparent: We disclose material relationships, including our partnership with Bare & Blossom.
- Independent: Educational content is developed independently of commercial considerations.
- Current: We review and refresh content as new research becomes available.
- Accessible: We translate complex science into practical guidance for everyday readers.
Evidence Rating System
| Rating | Meaning |
|---|---|
| 🟢 Strong Evidence | Supported by multiple well-designed randomized controlled trials or systematic reviews |
| 🟡 Moderate Evidence | Supported by at least one quality study; more research may be needed |
| 🟠 Emerging Evidence | Preliminary research shows promise, but evidence remains limited |
| ⚪ Insufficient Evidence | Traditional, anecdotal, or weakly studied claims without strong human evidence |
Citation Standards

How Content Is Reviewed
- Articles are drafted using current literature and reputable dermatology references.
- Claims are reviewed for clarity, evidence strength, and reader safety.
- Medical or treatment claims are limited and framed educationally rather than diagnostically.
- Articles are updated when material new evidence changes the practical takeaway for readers.
