I agree with a lot of the comments about font and clutter. The point about the ad at the top with the arrow is a good one. I did not even notice that was an option until it was posted as a comment. And the pop up ad on the right drives me nuts. At least I can click the blue arrow to turn it off which is nice.

I really love your site. It looks great. Very easy to read, and quite professional looking. Better than some of the other skin care sites that I go to.
However, I find the little blue arrow sort of distracting, I dislike little things like that on blogs that I’m trying to read and concentrate on.
Thanks for the great contest!

-having 3 columns on the homepage is too busy
-the ad at the top is too big. it implies that the focus of this site is only to make money, not to inform. both can be done without the advertising being so overwhelming

I really like it. Keep up the good work!

The 3 column format makes the page look busy. The “meat” of the website is squeezed into the middle which is quite narrow. Seems like ads and promos take up more of the page.

The reason of my liking this look is easier navigation while using smartphones .. . . the pop up ad that appeared earlier at the top was difficult to handle in a 5 inch phone !!! The blue arrow concept is very thoughtful
Just one suggestion . . . if instead of popular posts you could put up popular searches . .. keywords . . .will be covering more topics on the homepage . . .and would be easier for readers like me who dont come here for specific purpose but just for knowledge . . .
Regards and love

3 columns is not a great look imo, but a lot of people use it. I think if you changed the site coloring a little bit it might make it easier to distinguish actual posts from ads or “you might like” references. Right now it’s just a whole bunch of words on white and it’s really hard to see the text for the middle column posts with the grey color.
The ad at the top really needs to go or be changed, it’s the only thing you see for the site when it first loads.

I like it, but the text in the front could be in the back, so it gives more space to the product. I think the design can improve and look more polish, A sentence or two is enough for the front.
But after all, what matters is what it’s inside.

I really like how it looks but you could make the middle window a bit more wider looks a tiny bit cluttered. Otherwise I think has a polish neat look

I’d prefer not having to scroll down to get to the meat of the page; the banner is so large that it just makes me want to get past it instead of reading it. The page is so busy that I’m a little confused about what I should be looking at; maybe having some black lines separating sidebar from text would help.

It seems a bit odd to have multiple ads for the same product (FutureDerm retinol) at the top of the page. And I prefer it when the name of the website itself is what appears at the very top.
Also, I think you have established a great deal of credibility on this site for providing unbiased information, but when I see the large Neova ad at the top right next to your site banner, well, it introduces a little doubt as to whether you are beholden to your sponsors and will give their products preferential reviews. I can appreciate how tricky this is, since of course you would like to have some ad revenue and of course skin care product manufacturers are the most likely advertisers here!

Not good when viewing on ipad.

Overall, I think the new site looks great! I think you’ve come an incredibly long way. However, I do think you need to sit down with your designer and clean it up just a little.

FutureDerm is my go-to for great beauty advice! Thanks for making your site much more clean and manageable.

It’s clean, bright, professional and has a touch of femininity to it!

I don’t like all the other ads on the side…it takes away from this page. And just for future rerference, I stay away from blogs that have a ton of things moving at once (such as video or moving ads) Oh…and how about some color?
When I come here, I always feel it’s so…”medicinal”
This is FutureDerm! We want to feel sexy, feminine and like we have found the best secret on Earth!

It’s a little confusing. I prefer the previous design, because it was much easier to see all the articles. However, I do think the new design looks a little more professional. Either way, I really like the content.
