I don't want to argue about medical conditions, but clinical trials are unnecessary in this case. More than 20,000 skincare brands claim to help with acne, aging, and other skin concerns. But I've never about even one conducted double blind randomized controlled trial. And I agree with you, some kind of control is needed. That is why I said skincare is about marketing.
About helping, it helps the vast majority, except in severe cases, and the result is a reduction in pimples on the face. It is the only thing that teens care about. You should follow simple rules and pick the right products. I think the accuracy of our recommendations is relatively high. I don't have big numbers to brag about. But over time, I will.
Now the primary source of information is TikTok.
I should consider rewriting the message, though. Thank you.

- KenShang 4y agoWhat is your point? Do you think I promote unapproved ingredients? Of course, manufacturers do not use toxic ingredients, and of course, the active ingredients should be approved. How does it say that skincare manufacturers should conduct a randomized controlled trial?
