⚙ How this page was built2 third-party sources · refreshed 5 days ago · claude-haiku-4-5

1. Sources we crawled

  • 2 Reddit threads across 1 subreddit
  • 1 retailer rating (Sephora / Ulta etc — for AggregateRating only)

2. What we filtered out

  • 0 sponsored posts (#ad / paid partnership detected)
  • 0 brand-affiliated accounts (creator handle contains brand name)
  • Retailer-side reviews (Sephora / Ulta) are excluded from evidence sections — used only for the AggregateRating block

3. How findings were organised

All evidence was tagged to one of 15 purchase-decision dimensions from the moisturizer Playbook:

Hydration intensity · Non-greasy texture · Works under makeup · Gentle for sensitive · Anti-aging · Barrier repair · Oil control for oily skin · Formula stability · …

For each (source × dimension), we asked claude-haiku-4-5 to produce a one-sentence finding that must contain a ratio number (“4 of 6”, “All 8”) derivable from the actual evidence rows. Findings without ratio numbers fail our spam-check gate and don’t reach this page.

4. Freshness

  • Most recent evidence scraped: 5 days ago
  • Findings last computed by LLM: 5 days ago

Pages are re-crawled when evidence ages past category-specific thresholds. See methodology for refresh policy.

Besides is a research tool, not an editorial publication. The numbers above describe how this specific page was assembled. No human beauty-editor reviewed individual quotes — but every page must pass structural quality checks (originality, source diversity, content depth) before it’s allowed on the site.
