How We Compare Microneedling Products
We compare products by what their makers publish, check regulator databases where a product is a device, and say plainly that we do not test anything. We give no stars and no rankings.

How we compare products
- Published specifications. We read the maker's own page and record the figures it gives: needle length, material, needle count, cleaning steps, replacement advice and stated limits.
- Where the page is silent, we say so. "Not stated" is a finding.
- Regulators. Where a product is a device, we look in the FDA databases and report what they show, with the date. We do not describe a kit, a serum or a clinic as authorized by the FDA.
- Public opinions, only if cited. If we mention opinions, we link them and give the date. We never copy store ratings.
What we do not do
- We do not test products, and we say so on every comparison.
- We do not give stars, scores or a "top pick."
- We do not write reviews of our own.
- We do not let compensation change the criteria.
Where things stand
The comparison pages name products in plain text and have no purchase links. We keep a record of each page we read, with the date, so a change on the maker's side can be spotted later. If a figure changes, we update the page and the review date.
