Products, on the record

Our verdicts


Cards are grouped by verdict. Sponsored videos and own-brand promotion stay flagged, always.

Method
  • Distilled from public expert contentNothing here is a press release or a brand claim. Each line is a reading of what a credentialed voice said in a published video, quoted in context and linked back to the timestamp.
  • Every opinion is weighted by independenceSponsored videos are discounted, and own-brand promotion is heavily discounted. A verdict built on paid placements never outranks one built on unpaid, unaffiliated commentary.
  • Consensus needs two or more independent voicesOne doctor liking something is a data point, not a verdict. Products with a single mention sit in “Also on the record” until a second independent voice weighs in.
  • The corpus grows weeklyThis edition reads the anchor archives first. More of the trust’s back catalogue is queued for ingestion, so verdicts can move, tighten or flip as the evidence deepens.
  • Editorial, not medical adviceAlways patch-test, and check the ingredient list against The Radiance Standard before anything joins a daily routine.
