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.
