REVIEW POLICY

Since 2010, the FTC requires that all bloggers disclose when they have received compensation or a sample for a product review.  As per this policy, all FutureDerm.com posts written since the initiation of this law have full required FTC disclosure.

So as to retain the public’s trust, FutureDerm.com does not guarantee compensation nor a sample nor an advertising contract will result in a positive review of a product, ingredient, company, or technology.  As of September 2011, in the event FutureDerm.com has received compensation for a product or service that results in a negative review (5/10 or less), FutureDerm.com may contact the advertiser with a warning before publishing, the opportunity to disprove the facts and/or rationale within the post, and/or the possibility of a refund.  This policy does not extend to retailers who advertise and sell brands that may be reviewed on FutureDerm.com.

FutureDerm.com currently will accept advertising contracts from independent brands on a pay-per-post, monthly, quarterly, or yearly basis.  Full disclosure will be made on any and all sponsorships on the site.

Bottom line:  I accept direct advertising contracts, and hope to do so in such a way that is fair, open, and honest to both my readers and the advertisers.  I do not think it is fair for companies to compensate me for bad reviews, but I also do not want to lie to my readers.  If I am compensated for a review, as of September 2011, I will give the opportunity for the advertiser to disprove my opinion and/or be refunded before publishing.  I will continue to publish negative reviews of products I find and/or purchase on my own.
