Less fraud. It’s a low bar, huh.
The LED Mask article was absolutely worthless. I’d like my time back.
No science and no consumer reports comparison or really anything the least bit useful. Interviewing a few aestheticians who tell you to talk to a derm and one giving an infomercial on what she’s “heard”–really?!?
I am also disappointed with the other WaPo article. Weren’t department stores struggling for years? Sure, last year was probably dramatic, but you have the data to tell us how strong the pandemic exacerbated the pre-existing effect, so please tell us quantitatively.
