Medical Disclaimer

Last updated: April 2026

DermaWise provides general skincare information for educational purposes only. The content on this site is not intended to be a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.

1. Not Medical Advice

The information, skincare protocols, and product recommendations provided by DermaWise are for general educational and informational purposes only. They do not constitute medical advice, clinical guidance, or professional dermatological consultation.

DermaWise is an algorithmic tool that generates suggestions based on the information you provide and published dermatological research. It does not perform medical diagnoses and cannot replace the clinical judgment of a qualified healthcare professional.

2. No Doctor-Patient Relationship

Use of DermaWise does not create a doctor-patient relationship between you and Clareo Health, DermaWise, or any of our medical reviewers. Our medical reviewer provides oversight of the algorithm's methodology and content accuracy but does not provide individual medical consultations through this platform.

3. Consult a Dermatologist

If you have a medical skin condition, persistent skin problem, or any concern about your skin health, you should consult a qualified dermatologist or healthcare provider. Conditions that require professional evaluation include, but are not limited to:

  • Severe or cystic acne
  • Suspected skin infections
  • Unusual moles or skin growths
  • Chronic skin conditions such as eczema, psoriasis, or rosacea
  • Skin reactions that cause pain, swelling, or blistering

Never delay seeking professional medical advice because of information received through DermaWise.

4. Product Recommendations

Product recommendations provided by DermaWise are based on published dermatological research, ingredient analysis, and your quiz responses. Individual results may vary depending on factors including your unique skin biology, environment, product usage consistency, and other variables beyond our control.

We do not guarantee that any recommended product will produce specific results or be suitable for your individual circumstances.

5. Allergies & Sensitivities

Always perform a patch test before introducing any new product into your skincare routine. Apply a small amount of the product to the inside of your wrist or behind your ear and wait 24-48 hours to check for adverse reactions.

While our algorithm excludes known common allergens when you report sensitivities, we cannot guarantee that every recommended product will be free of all potential irritants for your skin. Product formulations may change without notice from manufacturers.

If you experience any adverse reaction to a product, discontinue use immediately and consult a healthcare professional.

6. Pregnancy & Medical Conditions

If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have any medical condition that may affect your skin or sensitivity to topical products, always consult your doctor before starting any new skincare routine.

While our algorithm automatically excludes ingredients known to be unsafe during pregnancy (such as retinoids and high-concentration salicylic acid), this should not be considered a substitute for medical guidance from your healthcare provider who understands your complete health profile.

7. Medical Review

The DermaWise methodology and content are reviewed by Dr. Esra Ata, MD, a physician certified in Skincare Science. Dr. Ata provides medical oversight to ensure our algorithm aligns with current dermatological research and safety standards.

Medical review does not constitute individual medical advice for any user. The reviewer assesses the general methodology and content, not individual skincare protocol outputs.

8. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Clareo Health and DermaWise shall not be liable for any damages, injuries, or adverse effects resulting from the use of information or product recommendations provided through this service.

By using DermaWise, you acknowledge that you do so at your own risk and accept full responsibility for any decisions you make based on the information provided.
