Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers to the questions we hear most. Can’t find what you’re looking for? Get in touch.
Is Skincare Literacy® selling products?
No. This site is brand-agnostic — we don’t sell skincare products, and we’re not paid by brands to feature them. Our own products are educational: the Skincare Literacy® book series and, in future, courses.
Is this medical advice?
No. Everything here is for educational and informational purposes only. Always consult a qualified dermatologist or physician for any diagnosis, treatment, or medical concern. See our Disclaimer for details.
Where should I start?
If you’re new to skincare, start with the Learn path. Already comfortable with the basics and want to personalize your routine? Try Apply. Working in the field or want the deep science? Head to Advance.
Do I need the book to use the site?
Not at all. The site is a free, standalone resource. The book, Skin Types Decoded, goes deeper for readers who want a complete, structured framework in one place.
How often is content updated?
We’re steadily expanding the site’s hubs and glossary. Join the newsletter to hear about new pages, tools, and the podcast launch as they go live.
