We’re Women’s Concepts, your trusted experts boasting over three decades of collective experience in dermatology, ingredient research, and meticulous hands-on product testing.
Women’s Concepts is a digital platform founded by Ana Vasilescu, a certified skincare consultant. It’s dedicated to educating people with science-focused content and product reviews on all things skincare.
Our purpose at Women’s Concepts is to educate others with accurate, transparent, and complete information about everything that goes around skincare, as well as inform our readers about their buying decisions and help them fix their skin issues as they arise. We vet every single product we recommend and double-check all the facts we share on Women’s Concepts.
We get it—skincare is a huge, complicated world, and what works for one person might not work for another. That’s why our expert team is extra mindful of different skins, textures, and tones when we recommend products. We also collaborate with industry-leading experts to make sure you’re getting advice you can trust. But we don’t focus just on product reviews. We dig deep into the latest skincare research to provide accurate and transparent information. Whether you’re curious about a new skincare ingredient, on the hunt for the perfect cruelty-free eye cream, or just trying to figure out the difference between all those moisturizers, we’ve got you covered.
It’s making your life easier by posting accurate facts supported by studies, upmost beauty, skin- and hair-care products advice, and the latest makeup trends. Besides personal experience, we relate to fair experiments, always seeking the most transparent information so that you can see the real face of everything. Because this is what Women’s Concepts is — a friendly space with top-tier facts and bits of advice from plain speaking people.
Our work centers on educating our readers on their topics of interest by providing them with accurate, complete, and research-backed information. We only rely on legit sources, including clinical studies, research from government institutions, and expert insights. All posts on Women’s Concepts are created considering specific and strict publishing principles. You can view our full editorial guidelines, including the publishing principles, quality standards, our sources of information as well as our product review process here.
The Women’s Concepts Expert Review Board includes board-certified dermatologists specializing in cosmetic and medical dermatology, cosmetic chemists, makeup artists, and other field experts. Their role is to ensure the information is accurate, complete, not interpretable, and relates to current science and data studies. We’ll always value professional expertise as well as research-based information. View our expert review process here.
