How we built this Receipt.
Sources weighted by recency
A 2025 derm podcast outranks a 2021 review aggregator. We say so explicitly in the source list.
Reddit signal, weighted by sub
Quality of consensus differs by community. r/30PlusSkinCare carries different weight than a generalist sub.
Ingredient cross-check
Every active is cross-referenced against PubMed and INCIDecoder. We flag any percentage claim we can't verify.
Reformulation watch
We monitor INCI changes monthly. If the formula you bought last year isn't the formula on shelves now, you'll see it here.
