From the editorMar letterHL Benefits MagazineHL Benefits Editorial Team

We started this section because the conversation about skin had become unbearable — too loud, too certain, too often selling something. The boring middle — what the evidence actually supports, repeated across decades, written without a brand to defend — is not a position you can monetize, but it is the position the research keeps quietly settling on.
