Claims about skincare devices, checked against the record.
Most at-home beauty devices arrive with a regulatory claim attached. Some of those claims can be verified in a public database in about two minutes. This site does that work and shows how, so the checking does not have to be taken on trust.

Primary sources
Regulatory claims are checked against the FDA’s own databases rather than against a brand’s marketing copy. Every record is linked so any reader can repeat the search.
Specifications, not adjectives
Where a number determines whether a device can do what it claims — irradiance, wavelength, dose — that number is stated, or its absence is noted.
Method shown
Each article records what was searched, when, and what was returned, including results that did not support a convenient conclusion.
On commercial links. This site currently earns no commission on any link. Where that changes it will be disclosed on the page in question and set out in full on the affiliate disclosure page. Coverage and conclusions are not for sale: a device that fails a check is reported as failing it.
