About Saim | Lead Skincare Researcher at SkinGuides.online
Biology First. Marketing Last.
Welcome to the Lab. SkinGuides.online is not a beauty blog. It is a dermatological research library led by Saim, a researcher specializing in formulation chemistry and skin physiology.
The Problem: The “Angel Dusting” Epidemic
I started this project because the skincare industry is broken.
I saw shelves filled with “miracle creams” that contained less than 0.01% of active ingredients just enough to put it on the label, but not enough to change your skin. I saw influencers promoting unstable serums that oxidize before they even touch your face.
The SkinGuides Protocol
We don’t just review products; we audit formulations. Every guide on this site is built on a strict 3-Step Verification Process:
- Molecular Verification: We check the molecular weight of active ingredients (like Hyaluronic Acid) to ensure they are small enough (under 500 Daltons) to actually penetrate the stratum corneum.
- pH Integrity: We verify that acids and cleansers are formulated at the correct pH (3.5-5.5) to protect your acid mantle.
- The PubMed Standard: If a claim isn’t backed by a peer-reviewed study in The Journal of Investigative Dermatology or PubMed, we don’t publish it.
Meet the Lead Researcher
Saim is a researcher with a background in Biological Sciences. He treats skincare as a science, not a lifestyle.
He founded SkinGuides to bridge the gap between complex clinical data and your daily routine. Unlike general beauty writers, Saim prioritizes evidence-based synthesis, examining molecular interactions to deliver recommendations that are chemically sound.
