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.

What To Look For In A Skin Barrier Cream That Actually Works
“Barrier repair” has become one of those phrases that gets tossed around a lot in skincare marketing, but not every skin barrier cream that slaps it on the label has the formula to back it up. If your skin’s been feeling more reactive, tight, or just off its game, chances are your barrier is calling for help. That’s where a skin barrier cream comes in—one designed with ingredients that do more than just sit on the surface. Every formula the chemists create starts with understanding the scienc...
