The content published on Folsom Skin — including all blog posts, product recommendations, skincare routines, ingredient information, and guides — is provided for informational and educational purposes only. It does not constitute medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment of any kind. No content on this site should be interpreted as professional medical guidance.
If you have a diagnosed skin condition, persistent skin concerns, severe acne, rosacea, eczema, psoriasis, or any other dermatological issue, please consult a licensed dermatologist or physician before beginning any new skincare routine or using any products mentioned on this site. A licensed dermatologist can evaluate your specific skin condition and provide personalized medical guidance that a skincare blog cannot.
Always perform a patch test before using any new skincare or cosmetic product. To patch test: apply a small amount of the product to a discreet area of skin (such as the inside of your wrist or behind your ear) and wait 24–48 hours. If you experience redness, itching, swelling, burning, or any other adverse reaction, discontinue use immediately and consult a healthcare professional. Individual skin reactions to ingredients vary significantly.
Skincare products affect different people differently. Factors including skin type, existing conditions, allergies, medications, hormones, and genetics all influence how a product performs on any given individual. The products recommended on this site have been selected based on professional esthetician training and general efficacy, but we make no guarantee that any product will work the same way for you as described in reviews or recommendations.
