What to write about

  • Corrections. Put “Correction” and the page title in the subject, and link to your source if you have one. See our corrections policy.
  • A claim you want checked. Seen a viral claim, an ingredient trend or a label you can’t decode? Send it. Reader questions shape what we cover next.
  • Questions about a grade. Tell us which dossier and what you’d weigh differently. The full rubric is on The Scope Grade.
  • Press and partnerships. We’re happy to talk about our work and methodology.

For brands

We welcome factual corrections with evidence, such as a current INCI list, a reformulation date or a published study we missed. Please send them to the same address.

Please don’t send products, samples, gifts or payment offers. We don’t accept them, we don’t review drafts with brands, and coverage and grades can’t be bought. Anything sent unsolicited won’t affect our coverage. Read more in How we make money.

What we can’t help with

We can’t give personal medical advice, diagnose skin conditions or recommend treatment. For that, please see a board-certified dermatologist or a pharmacist.

The FORMUSCOPE pledge

No sponsorships. No free-product grades. Every source on the page.

We pay our own way

When we test in hand, we buy the product, and the receipt goes in the evidence file. Brands can’t pay for coverage, placement, or a re-grade.

We show our work

Claims are quoted with capture dates. INCI lists are linked. Studies list design, size, and funding.

We fix mistakes in public

Every correction and grade change is logged with a date and a reason. See the log.
