Editorial & fact-checking standards

Complexion Science is an independent educational resource. Everything here is written to help you understand the evidence and the current rules so you can make an informed decision with a licensed professional. It is cited educational information, not medical advice, and not legal advice. These standards describe exactly how the content is produced, so you can judge it for what it is.

Research-first, not generate-then-check

Every article starts from real primary sources: FDA drug labels, peer-reviewed journals, and the Federal Register, which are gathered before the article is written. We then write only what those sources actually support, and cite them inline so you can follow any claim back to its origin. If a claim cannot be traced to a credible source, it does not go in.

Every clinical claim is cited

Clinical and scientific statements link directly to the study, label, or official document behind them. Where the evidence is preliminary (for example animal or early-stage research rather than large human trials), we say so plainly rather than implying more certainty than exists.

Regulatory statements are sourced and dated

The legal and regulatory status of peptides, GLP-1 medications, and telehealth changes frequently. Every regulatory statement is traced to a primary government document and dated, and pages are revisited when the underlying rules change. Because this area moves quickly, always confirm the current status before acting on it.

Automated compliance and quality checks

Before anything is published, each page passes automated gates that check for unsupported claims, missing citations, broken links, and language that would overstate what a therapy can do or misstate its legal status. These checks are a floor, not a substitute for your own judgment or a professional's.

What we do not claim

We do not claim that this content has been reviewed by a physician for your individual situation, and reading it does not create a doctor–patient or attorney–client relationship. It is general information. Decisions about whether to pursue any therapy are yours to make with a licensed provider who knows your history.

Corrections

If you spot something inaccurate or out of date, tell us at editor@complexionscience.com and we will review it against the sources and correct it if warranted.
