Skincare now borrows the language of medicine: clinical, repair, recovery. THE RECORD takes that language at its word and checks it against the label, the published specs, and the cited evidence. Then it says, plainly, what is worth your money.
It starts with the lips, the skin the category decorates and rarely protects.
THE RECORD is written and edited by Regina Duke.
The rules
- Verdicts are based on each brand's own published specs and Drug Facts, and say so.
- Nothing is described as personally tested unless it has been.
- Claims stay cosmetic. Medical questions go to a board-certified dermatologist.
