How DSULABs evaluates products

  • Formula: active ingredients, disclosed concentration, stability, supporting ingredients, and compatibility.
  • Evidence: the relevance and quality of human, clinical, and mechanistic research.
  • Tolerability: fragrance, likely irritants, strength, and fit for different skin patterns.
  • Packaging and use: light and air exposure, dosing, texture, and routine compatibility.
  • Value: formula quality and usability relative to current price, not price alone.
