What to check in beauty & personal care
| Factor | Check before buying | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Formula and tolerance | Read the full ingredient list and fragrance information for the exact variant. | A popular formula can still contain an ingredient you personally need to avoid; a certification is not a guarantee against irritation. |
| Amount and frequency | Compare price per millilitre or gram and the recommended amount per use. | Pack sizes differ. A low sticker price may cost more over a month of regular use. |
| Claims and expiry | Check the product-specific certification, period-after-opening symbol and storage directions. | Brand-level claims do not automatically apply to every formula, and opened products have different storage limits. |
Read the evidence, not just the score
Quality, Value, User Experience and Brand & Trust measure different trade-offs. The default weights are 30%, 25%, 25% and 20%; category overrides can differ. A close score gap is less useful than a clear advantage on the factor you care about. Look at the product's recorded specifications, drawbacks and source links, and distinguish a manufacturer's claim from independent testing.
Build a realistic shortlist
- Remove options that miss an essential size, compatibility or safety requirement.
- Compare two or three remaining options on total cost and the drawbacks you can accept.
- Confirm the exact variant, warranty and return terms with the seller.
