all good skincare starts with a chemist (OR two)

In a past life, the chemists found little joy launching products for the sake of launching, only to create more of the same and more waste. Here, we only launch products that either have a marked improvement from the rest and/or solve a need gap.

There are millions of ingredients out there, which means we vet every one of our selected ingredients for the best sourcing and performance. Then, we roll up our very cool lab coat sleeves and get to work, putting these fussy ingredients into a winning formula that’ll go to work for your skin.

with our chemist magic, our formulas can do more

Flasky giving a thumbs up

we can all navigate the skincare industry cyborg machine

As two skincare chemists with an equally terrible sense of humor, our friendship began in the cubicles of a big beauty company. Together, we began dreaming of a different approach to skincare - one in which the chemists’ voice no longer fell by the wayside to marketing trends and the customer had the knowledge to navigate the overstated claims and underwhelming results that is the skincare-industry-cyborg -machine.

with A combined 20 years of experience, WE decided to try FIXing THINGS OURSELVEs

We started Chemist Confessions to achieve just that in two parts. We built a world of education to empower the individual to confidently navigate the skincare world. Alongside that, we created a suite of skincare solutions that can be mixed and match to tailor to any routine and any skin type.

Whether you're a skincare novice or a skincare peace prize winner, we are here to help you build a long term skincare routine that works for you.

A good gentle cleanser for face should cover the basics while keeping your natural lipids and proteins intact. ...

A Fresh-Faced Woman Who Applied Retinol For Sensitive Skin

The Best Retinol Options For Sensitive Skin That Actually Work

While retinol is often hyped up as the gold standard for tackling fine lines, uneven tone, and texture, it can feel more like a risk for those of us with sensitive skin. If you’ve ever eyed a retinol bottle with a mix of excitement and “please don’t ruin my face” panic, you’re in good company. Retinoids are tricky territory—between all the long ingredient names, cryptic label claims, and conflicting advice, it’s normal to hesitate. But here’s the thing: having sensitive skin doesn’t mean you ...
