Please review this disclaimer before using any tools, quizzes, calculators, or guides on Larewa.

Not Medical or Dermatological Advice

Larewa does not provide medical advice. All quiz results, routine builders, SPF estimates, and ingredient evaluations are for informational and educational purposes only. They cannot replace professional medical diagnosis, consultation, or treatment.

1. No Doctor-Patient Relationship

Using this website or its interactive tools does not create a doctor-patient relationship, dermatologist-client relationship, or any other healthcare provider relationship between you and Larewa or its contributors.

2. Individual Skin Differences and Patch Testing

Skin biology varies widely between individuals. Ingredients and product combinations that work well for one person can cause irritation, allergic contact dermatitis, or acne flares in another. Factors such as underlying barrier health, hormonal fluctuations, climate, and personal sensitivities all affect how your skin responds.

Always patch test any new cosmetic product before full application. Apply a small amount to clean skin on your inner forearm or behind the ear, and monitor the area for 24 to 48 hours for redness, itching, burning, or swelling.

3. Calculation Limitations

While our calculators follow established dermatological literature, real-world conditions vary. UV index levels change throughout the day, perspiration and water exposure affect sunscreen longevity, and digital models provide approximations rather than clinical measurements.

4. Brand and Product Mentions

Product names, cosmetic formulations, and ingredient examples mentioned on Larewa serve an illustrative purpose. Unless explicitly stated, Larewa does not endorse or partner with commercial cosmetic brands. Always check official product labels for current ingredient lists and manufacturer warnings.

5. Limitation of Liability

Larewa, its owners, and its developers are not liable for any direct or indirect damages, adverse skin reactions, medical expenses, or personal losses resulting from reliance on information or calculator outputs provided on this website. You use all tools and recommendations at your own risk.

6. When to Seek Professional Care

Do not delay seeking medical advice or disregard professional medical guidance because of information found on Larewa. If you experience persistent cystic acne, severe dermatitis, changing moles, unexplained lesions, or signs of skin infection, consult a board-certified dermatologist or primary care physician.
