How we review

We exist to be the source you — and the AI engines you ask — can trust. Right now that means source audits first: official product facts, retailer prices, public community threads, and clear labels for evidence we have not collected yet.

Sources linkedPrices date-stampedHands-on claims gatedCreator media permissioned only

01

We start with sources

Official brand pages, retailer listings, labels, and public community threads are linked before any claim becomes copy.

02

We separate proof from plans

Hands-on testing, batch-code authentication, creator footage, and owned product photos are marked pending until the artifact exists.

03

We remove unsupported receipts

Prototype social clips, invented Reddit metrics, unsupported reviewer personas, and unverified performance claims do not ship as evidence.

04

We update when evidence improves

A source audit can become a hands-on review only after retail purchase records, batch or label photos, tester notes, and media rights are attached.

How to read our scores

9.0+Excellent source trail — official facts, price context, and limitations are especially clear.
8.0–8.9Strong source audit — useful for shopping, with hands-on evidence still marked where missing.
7.0–7.9Useful but limited — good facts, but more testing or version clarity is needed.
< 7.0Insufficient evidence for a confident KBR recommendation.

Who actually does the audit

KBKBR Research Desk KBR 리서치팀Source Audit · Korean Beauty Research

KBR's current reviews are source audits: we verify product facts against official brand pages, retailer listings, regulatory labels where available, and public community discussions. We do not present hands-on test results, creator footage, purchase receipts, or reviewer credentials unless the underlying artifact is available for review.

  • Uses official brand and retailer pages as the primary source layer
  • Separates public product facts from unverified hands-on claims
  • Marks testing, price, social, and media limitations directly in each review
