Only Thing

The Science

At Only Thing, every formulation is backed by peer-reviewed clinical research and developed according to the highest scientific standards. Our approach combines dermatological expertise with cutting-edge biochemistry to create products that deliver measurable results.

Evidence-Based Formulation

We believe in complete transparency about the science behind our products. Every ingredient is selected based on published clinical studies demonstrating efficacy for specific skin concerns.

Our Scientific Principles

  • Clinical Concentrations: We use active ingredients at clinically proven effective concentrations
  • Peer-Reviewed Research: All formulations backed by published scientific studies
  • Dermatologist Testing: Products tested on all skin types and tones
  • Stability Testing: Rigorous testing ensures ingredient potency over time
  • pH Optimization: Formulations pH-balanced for optimal skin compatibility

Clinical Testing Process

Before any product reaches you, it undergoes extensive clinical testing to ensure both safety and efficacy. Our testing protocol includes:

  1. In-vitro laboratory testing for ingredient stability and compatibility
  2. Dermatologist-supervised patch testing for skin sensitivity
  3. 90-day clinical trials measuring visible results
  4. Long-term safety and efficacy monitoring

Key Active Ingredients

Vitamin C (L-Ascorbic Acid)

Clinically proven to reduce hyperpigmentation by 40-50% in 8-12 weeks. Our stabilized formulation maintains potency and minimizes oxidation.

Retinol

The gold standard for anti-aging, our time-released retinol formulation reduces fine lines and improves skin texture without irritation.

Niacinamide

Multi-functional ingredient that regulates oil production, minimizes pores, and strengthens the skin barrier. Effective at 5-10% concentrations.

Hyaluronic Acid

Our triple-weight formulation (high, medium, and low molecular weight) ensures deep hydration at multiple skin layers for 72-hour moisture retention.

Research Partnerships

We collaborate with leading dermatology research institutions and biochemistry labs to stay at the forefront of skincare science. Our formulation team includes PhD biochemists and board-certified dermatologists with over 25 years of combined experience.

Transparency Commitment

We publish detailed clinical study results and ingredient information for all our products. Visit our Ingredients page for complete transparency about what goes into each formulation.
