Have you ever been intrigued about cosmetic product labels that say “dermatologist recommended”? After doing a little investigating, I found that there is no governing body that monitors this statement. In fact, it really has no significance at all.

A manufacturer can have as many as 1 million dermatologists or as little as a solitary one who advocate their skin care product. Can you believe it? Just one recommendation and companies can make the “dermatologist recommended” claim. There are even websites dedicated to this term.

At this time, there are no guidelines that dictate whether the dermatologist who recommends the product is paid or even how the dermatologist tested the product. So don’t purchase a product merely because it is “dermatologist recommended”. Get all of the information you need from the ingredients list first instead of buying a skin care product based on a potentially misleading statement.
