Our Methodology

What "vetted" actually means here.

Last updated: August 2026

Why TopVetted exists

Online marketplaces surface millions of near-identical listings for the same product category. Two sellers, two prices, two review counts — and no easy way to tell which one is actually worth buying. TopVetted was built to close that gap for beauty shoppers — skincare, makeup, and hair care alike.

How we vet products

Every listing on this site is pulled directly from live marketplace data — not selected by hand, not sponsored, not guessed at. Our process runs on three signals:

Products are re-pulled and re-ranked on a rolling basis, so the list reflects current marketplace data rather than a static snapshot.

What we don't do

We don't accept payment from brands or sellers for placement. We don't manually curate a "favorites" list based on personal preference. Ranking position is driven entirely by the data described above.

How we make money

TopVetted earns a small commission when you purchase through a link on this site, at no additional cost to you. This is standard affiliate marketing, and it's the only way we monetize. See our Affiliate Disclosure for full detail.

Questions, corrections, or a product you think should be reviewed? We're a small independent operation — feedback genuinely helps.
