Affiliate and Advertising Policy
This Affiliate and Advertising Policy explains how LuciDerma uses affiliate links and third-party advertising to support the costs of operating our skin care, face care, and body skin care website. We aim to be clear about when and how compensation may be earned so you understand how recommendations and content are funded.
1. Purpose of This Policy
LuciDerma values clarity and integrity in all interactions with our readers, customers, and partners. This policy describes our use of affiliate links, sponsored placements, and ads, and how these may appear while you browse our skin care resources, guides, and product reviews.
2. Affiliate Links Disclosure
What Are Affiliate Links?
LuciDerma may participate in affiliate marketing programs. Content on our site can include special tracking links. If you click an affiliate link and complete a purchase or take another qualifying action on a partner’s website, we may receive a commission or similar compensation at no extra cost to you.
How We Use Affiliate Links
We feature products, brands, and services that we have used, tested, or reasonably believe can be helpful for a variety of skin concerns and skin types. Affiliate relationships do not determine our editorial decisions. Our reviews and recommendations are based on our independent research, ingredient analysis, and experience with skin care products and routines.
Your Choice
You are never required to use our affiliate links. You may purchase items directly from vendors by navigating to their sites without using our links. Always review full ingredient lists and directions for use, and consider patch testing or consulting a licensed dermatologist if you have sensitivities, allergies, or medical concerns.
Affiliate Programs
LuciDerma is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn fees by linking to amazon.com. As an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases.
LuciDerma may also participate in additional affiliate programs and networks.
3. Advertising Disclosure
Third-Party Ads
LuciDerma may display third-party advertisements through advertising networks such as Google AdSense and others. These networks may use cookies or similar technologies to show ads that are relevant to your interests.
How Advertising Works
Advertisements are typically labeled as “Ad,” “Sponsored,” “Ads by Google,” or similar. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies and identifiers to serve ads based on your visits to this and other websites.
Your Choices Regarding Advertising
You can opt out of personalized Google advertising by visiting your Google Ads Settings page (https://adssettings.google.com/). You can also opt out of personalized ads from many third-party vendors by visiting www.aboutads.info.
4. Sponsored Content & Paid Reviews
LuciDerma may publish sponsored articles, paid partnerships, gifted product features, or other compensated content related to skin care, face care, and body care. We disclose such relationships clearly and prominently.
Any content created in collaboration with a sponsor, or involving monetary or in-kind compensation (for example, PR samples), will be marked with clear disclosures such as “Sponsored,” “Paid Partnership,” “In partnership with [Brand],” or similar language at the beginning of the content.
Compensation never guarantees a favorable review. We provide honest opinions and findings based on our evaluation and expertise in skin care.
5. No Professional Advice
The information on LuciDerma, including tutorials, guides, ingredient breakdowns, and product recommendations, is for general informational and educational purposes only. It is not medical advice and does not replace consultation with a qualified healthcare professional. For diagnosis, treatment, or advice about a specific skin condition, consult a licensed dermatologist or other qualified clinician. Individual results can vary based on skin type, sensitivities, and use.
