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.
carefully selected ingredients in chemist-approved formulas
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
We created our formulas to be used in multiple ways in order to give you full control in how you integrate our products into your routine. Why? Because each of our skin types is just that personal.
CHEMISTS
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.

Do Face Masks Expire? Clay, Sheet & Cream Masks
Face masks are easy to accumulate. You buy one for a specific concern, use it a handful of times, and then it migrates to the back of a cabinet. A couple of years later, you rediscover it and wonder: Is this still good? The answer really depends on the type of mask, how it's been stored, and whether it's been opened. And the answer is worth knowing before you apply something that may no longer be doing what it's supposed to. So, do face masks expire? This guide covers what you need to know ab...

Face Serum for Men: Shaving, Beards & What Matters
Face serum for men: shaving, beards, and what actually matters TLDR: Men's skin is different, but choosing a serum is really about what benefit you want or what problem you want to solve. If you're blessed with a viking beard, don't sweat digging your serum under there if it's a pain. On shaving days, take note of whether your skin will tolerate your serum, and if it doesn't, don't feel guilty about skipping a day or working around the shave area. Hey, Angel here. I'm a fellow chemist, I form...
