When purchasing skin care products online or at big-box stores, what do you look for? Perhaps you’re drawn in by the colorful labels. Maybe a friend recommended a popular brand. You may even shop by individual skin features or concerns, or scrutinize products by their “for oily/dry skin” disclaimers.

For this reason, SkinBetter Science conducted a study to examine how tone and ethnicity determine how skin responds to various treatments. More specifically, the study focused on how a patient’s skin reacted to SkinBetter regimens, Start+, Clarity+, and Even …

Treatments like these can increase sensitivity to the sun, so it is recommended to wear protective clothing, like wide-brimmed hats, to safeguard the skin from …
