Our mission
Skincare that's actually explained.
GlowUpGuides is an independent editorial site. We break down ingredients, review devices, and build routines — using evidence from dermatology research, not marketing copy. No treatments, no miracle cures: just what studies say, clearly.

Who writes this
Sofia De Laurentiis
Skincare Research Writer
Sofia De Laurentiis is a Skincare Research Writer at GlowUpGuides. She reads primary studies, reviews product claims, and writes skincare guides that show readers the evidence behind the recommendations. She started doing this because she was tired of recommendations that rarely showed how thoroughly they had been investigated.
Sofia has no medical or clinical credentials; her work is informational, and the claims are supported by sources readers can check themselves.
More about SofiaHow we work
Editorial standards.
Evidence-based only
Every ingredient claim links to peer-reviewed research or established dermatology literature. We never cite brand studies as independent evidence.
No health claims
We write "may help reduce" and "per studies" — never "treats", "cures", or "eliminates". Results vary; we say so.
Transparent affiliations
We earn commissions from Amazon Associates links. This never influences which products we recommend or how we rate them.
Independent product selection
We do not accept payment for placement. Products are selected editorially and evaluated against published efficacy data.
Medical disclaimer
Our content is for informational purposes only and does not replace a consultation with a board-certified dermatologist.
