Searching by brand is how cake happens

Product search

Formulas by lane, how heavy the layer is, price and preference — tied to the type they belong to. Prices are street bands, not live quotes.

Where this goes next

Nothing is written into another desk without you choosing it. Cross-desk links carry only the context named on them.

Your Decision Record

What you have named, constrained, and decided so far — kept in this browser.

The Edit

Re-run the fit with the profile changed, and see which recommendations actually move.

Skincare Intelligence

When prep, barrier condition or actives are the real constraint rather than the base.

Spa Intelligence

When the goal has moved past what any cosmetic can do.

Claim Decoder

Hold one claim still and see what it would have to produce to be earned.

Routines & Ingredients

The long-form reading behind sequence, films and what each step is for.

The Treatment Room

What procedures can and cannot change, and which claims around them do not hold.

Whose desk this is

Rachel Anderson

I research, write and build Vanity or Vice on my own. I hold a medical aesthetics licence and I do not practise, so what sits behind these pages is formal training plus about a decade of paying for this as a customer — the products, the receipts, and the times I fell for a result I wanted and handed over the card before asking a single useful question. Trained in it, and I still did that.

No industry money, no affiliate links, and nothing on this desk is for sale — that last one is worth checking on anyone telling you what to buy, including me.

Never a diagnosis, a toxin score or a safety ranking. A scored fit is this desk's reasoning about a product type, not a promise about the unit in your hand.
