Study on Chemist Confession's Double Play by Citruslabs
About
Chemist Confessions
Chemist Confessions is the brainchild of two skincare formulation chemists who met while working for an international beauty conglomerate. United by their frustrations with the beauty industry, they created a skincare science blog, which later evolved into an educational platform and skincare line. Their mission is to empower consumers with accessible science education, making skin science fun and approachable, and to provide user-friendly skincare solutions that address gaps in the industry.
What is the Double Play skincare product?
Double Play has been dermatologist-approved for use as a face and eye anti-aging cream. The chemists formulated a gentle, stabilized 0.3% encapsulated retinol bolstered with 2% haloxyl peptide complex to tackle wrinkles, pigmentation, and dark circle concerns.

Benefits of Clinical Research
Using a more intensive clinical research design for skincare products allows brands to highlight the scientific validity of their formulas. Chemist Confessions' 12 week design is a great example of a skincare brand supporting their product claims with clinical evidence.
