Olivia Reed

Beauty & Skincare Editor

Olivia Reed became a licensed esthetician after years of dealing with sensitive skin herself and finding most beauty advice misleading or ingredient-ignorant. She has since completed coursework in cosmetic chemistry to better evaluate formulations beyond marketing language. Olivia tests skincare products across multiple skin types — including working with a small panel of testers — and provides candid assessments of short-term results versus long-term efficacy. She discloses when products are received as press samples.
