ACNE PRODUCT REVIEWS
This section of the website is an evolving directory of acne
treatment products. Reviews are provided for each product
included.
Reviews are compiled from:
- Vendor documentation for factual data re
product specifications, ingredients and pricing
- direct reader feedback of user experiences
- other user comments in internet forums and blogs
- study of other published reviews
Individual anecdotal reports and third party reviews may be
self-serving, malicious or otherwise non-objective. So it
is a pattern of comments that we look for and pay most
attention to. We also employ editorial judgement to
identify and discount self-serving comment.
Products are evaluated for:
- scope and effectiveness
- comfort and convenience of use with absence of
side effects
- price and value
to arrive at a combined score.
Any product scored 3 stars or better delivers effective
topical relief evidenced by a sufficient body of
favourable user reports to convince the editor of efficacy
and absence of serious side effects.
Higher scores reflect superior value or
specification. Higher scores do NOT denote
differences in volume or percentage of users claiming effective
relief. We do not believe such figures to
be statistically valid unless derived from supervised
blind trials with placebo controls.
