About
Skincare comparisons for everyday routines
Formula Fold is a skincare guide signed by the Fit Criteria Desk. We compare everyday products by formula, directions, format, and how they fit with other routine steps.
What we cover
Our aim is to make product comparisons easier to weigh, whether you are choosing a cleanser, moisturizer, eye patch, or treatment product. We focus on the tradeoffs readers can see in formulas, directions, and product information.
How we work
We read ingredient lists, maker directions, and available product information. Then we compare products against the question each guide sets out to answer, and revisit pages when relevant details change.
Who it is for
We write for practical skincare shoppers who want a clear basis for comparing products. If you care about how a formula fits your routine as much as what is on its label, Formula Fold is for you.

How We Compare
We read ingredient lists, product directions, and available maker information, then compare formulas and formats against the routine question in each guide. We revisit pages when directions, ingredients, or source details change, and make the basis of each comparison clear.
Criteria first
We write down what matters before we look at options, so the list follows the criteria.
Sources over claims
Marketing copy is a starting point; we look for the documentation behind it.
Tradeoffs in the open
Limits and caveats sit next to the recommendation, not below it.
Kept current
Pages are revisited when products, prices or guidance change.
