Why Labs Exists

A product-development community, not another gifting program

We're not looking for people to post nice things about free products. We're looking for people who will tell us the truth before anyone else sees the formula.

๐Ÿงช

We test in the open

Unreleased formulas and prototypes go to real people, in real routines, before a single unit is manufactured for sale.

๐Ÿ“

Your feedback shapes the formula

Texture, scent, absorption, packaging, irritation, results, and the price you'd actually pay. All of it goes back into the next version.

๐Ÿค

Honesty over hype

Nobody is paid or required to post something positive in exchange for a product. We ask for the truth, including when something doesn't work.

Two Ways To Join

Membership isn't about follower count

Some of our best testers aren't creators at all. Others create content and want to grow with us. Both paths matter, and both start in the same place.

Track One
Labs Members

Our largest and most open group. Beauty enthusiasts, skincare obsessives, and estheticians who want early input on what we make next. No following required.

  • Early access to prototypes, often free or at a reduced cost
  • Structured feedback surveys on every product you test
  • Voting rights on things like packaging, texture, and fragrance
  • Credits toward finished, launched products
  • Open to anyone, regardless of audience size
Apply as a Member
Track Two
Labs Creators

A smaller group selected from active Members who also create content. This tier comes with more product and more opportunity, once you've shown up as a tester first.

  • Full-size products and launch packages
  • Affiliate commission on products you helped test
  • Repost and exclusive early-launch opportunities
  • Paid campaign opportunities over time
  • Selected from Members, not applied to directly

How Testing Works

From application to reformulated product

01

Apply

Tell us about your skin, your routine, and how you like to give feedback.

02

Get matched

We match you to a prototype that fits your skin goals. Each one has a lab code, like LAB 001.

03

Test it

Use the product in your normal routine for a defined testing window, usually two to four weeks.

04

Tell us everything

Structured feedback on texture, absorption, scent, packaging, irritation, results, and expected price.

05

Watch it evolve

See how member feedback changes the formula before it ever reaches a shelf.

Currently In The Lab

What's being tested right now

A rotating lineup of prototypes at different stages. This list changes as products graduate out of Labs and onto the shelf.

LAB 001

Barrier Repair Serum

Focused on calming and strengthening a compromised moisture barrier.

In Testing
LAB 002

Peptide Eye Treatment

Built around expression-line softening for the eye and forehead area.

Applications Open
LAB 003

Overnight Recovery Cream

An overnight formula aimed at smoother, more resilient-looking skin by morning.

Coming to Labs Soon

Lab codes and lineup are illustrative of how prototypes will be organized and are subject to change as formulas move through development. "Tested by Labs members" describes structured user feedback, not a clinical study.

Radical Transparency

You tested it. We listened.

When a prototype graduates out of Labs, we plan to show our own community what its feedback actually changed, not just a launch announcement. Here's roughly what that could look like once a testing round wraps.

Example format, not real data
Preferred a lighter texture
Preferred a fragrance-free version
Would repurchase at launch price

Once we have real testing rounds completed, this space will show the actual numbers behind each launch.

Our Philosophy

"We don't pay people to tell us our products are good. We give people products early and ask them to tell us how to make them better."

Ever Better Skincare Labs
Questions First

A few things people ask before applying

Do I need a big following?

No. Labs Membership is open to anyone who genuinely cares about skincare, including people with no public following at all.

Is there a cost?

Labs Membership is free to apply for. Some prototypes are provided at no cost, others at a reduced testing rate, always noted upfront.

Can I say a product isn't working?

Yes, and we want you to. Honest negative feedback is more valuable to us than a positive review we didn't earn.
