Product Selection Process
Trust and Transparency at The Alcyone
We believe that trust is earned, so we’re pleased to explain how The Alcyone curates content with links to carefully selected healthcare and skincare products and services.
Finding reliable information on health and skincare can be overwhelming, given the abundance of sources available. At The Alcyone, we simplify this process by providing high-quality, evidence-based information that is both understandable and accessible, helping you make informed decisions for yourself and your loved ones.
We are dedicated to creating experiences that empower you to take steps toward a healthier, more radiant life. Occasionally, as part of our content creation process, our editors will include links to products they believe could be beneficial to our readers.
Commitment to Integrity
We only add product links when we identify a genuine need or believe it adds value for you, our readers. In a market where health and skincare products are increasingly commercialized, we carefully distinguish between products, services, and tools that offer real, tangible value and those that do not.
Our product reviews and articles with shopping links are created independently of any business interests. Our editorial team selects products without influence from our business team, maintaining a clear separation throughout the content creation process. We also uphold a stringent advertising policy to ensure that sponsors and business partners never influence our content.
Product Selection Process
Our editorial team invests significant time analyzing data and reviewing reader feedback to understand your needs, whether it’s finding the best retinol cream, the ideal moisturizer for oily skin, or essential gear for a skincare routine. We then rigorously research and vet products and brands based on criteria such as quality, accessibility, cost, and availability to provide recommendations that offer good value for your money. Our goal is to create balanced and objective content, highlighting both the pros and cons of the products we feature, along with transparent pricing information.
Only after our content is published do we consider affiliate relationships with potential business partners. If you choose to make a purchase on a retailer’s site through one of our links, we may earn a small commission from that purchase. This revenue supports our independent editorial process and helps us fulfill our mission of promoting healthier and more beautiful skin.
When we establish business partnerships with brands or retailers, our Medical Affairs team ensures these partners are transparent about product safety, quality, and efficacy. We only collaborate with organizations that conduct due diligence and maintain high standards.
Simply put, we do the hard work — backed by a team of experts — so you don’t have to. This way, you can feel confident in the choices you make for your health and skincare needs.
