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.

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.

Bakuchiol - A "Retinol Alternative" Worth Trying?

Good old anti-aging retinol promises so many benefits. Yet for many (Gloria included!), it’s a temperamental little guy that can wreak havoc on your carefully maintained skin barrier. This means there are always new, buzzy ingredients promising the same glitz and glam of retinol without the snake molting, angry skin onboarding phase. One of the hottest ingredients in this category is bakuchiol, often marketed as “plant-based retinol alternative”. So! What does the science say? Can it ACTUALLY...
