Corrections

If you find an error in a skinandserum reference page, we will correct it rather than delete the content. A substantive correction, such as an inaccuracy about an ingredient’s mechanism of action, a product’s formulation, or a clinical study’s outcome, will be made to the text. A note will then be added at the foot of the article stating “Correction:” followed by a brief description of what was amended and the date of the change. Minor typographical or grammatical errors will be fixed silently without a note.

To report an error, please provide the full web address of the article and quote the exact claim you believe to be incorrect. This allows us to locate and verify the issue efficiently. We aim to assess all substantive reports within two working days and will publish a correction promptly once the facts are confirmed. The expected turnaround for a correction to appear on the site is typically within five working days of a valid report.

For an error to warrant a correction note, it must be substantive. This means it concerns a core fact that could mislead a reader’s understanding. Examples include incorrect concentration data, misstated regulatory status, or an inaccurate description of a treatment’s efficacy for a specific skin concern. Simple spelling mistakes or formatting issues do not meet this threshold.

Facts on reference pages are also updated when the world changes, such as when a regulatory body reclassifies an ingredient, a significant new study overturns established consensus, or a product is discontinued. These are factual updates, not corrections of previous errors, and are integrated into the text without a correction note. The article’s last updated date will reflect this revision.

Our correction system applies to all reference pages on skinandserum, including those detailing ingredients, concerns, products, sunscreens, and procedures. This process ensures the site remains a reliable and current resource for skincare information in the European market.
