PICK KIM

How we check products

Where our product facts come from, what we leave as not confirmed, and why price and advertising never decide what we show.

Every product fact on PICK KIM comes from the brand's own official product page, is checked against the exact wording on that page, and is dated. Anything we cannot confirm is shown as not confirmed.

Official pages only

We read the brand's public product page for the exact product, not a retailer listing, a review or a social post. If the official page is not publicly available, we do not add the product.

Every fact has its wording

For each fact we record, such as texture, size, highlighted ingredients or a fragrance-free statement, we keep the brand's exact sentence and check by machine that it appears on the page. A fragrance-free or alcohol-free label is only shown when the brand states it for that product; a product name alone does not count.

Not confirmed means not confirmed

When a page says nothing, or contradicts itself, the fact stays not confirmed. We never fill a gap with a guess, and missing information is never presented as an absence.

How suggestions are ordered

  • A suggestion is shown only when it fits a step in your routine.
  • Each reason combines your answer, the routine step and a fact the brand states.
  • Labels describe how many of those facts line up: Strong match, Good match or Worth exploring. There are no scores or percentages.
  • Price, sponsorship and affiliate deals are never used. Ties are broken by how well a product is documented, then by a fixed product code.

Cosmetic information, not medical advice

Brand statements describe a formula; they do not promise how your skin will respond. We never repeat medical claims from brand pages. If something on your skin worries you, a dermatologist is the right person to ask.

Dates and changes

Each product page shows the date its facts were checked. Formulas, sizes and labels change and can differ between countries, so check the package of the exact product you buy.
