dermatologist tested

Examined by skin-specialists

Dermatologist tested is a marketing claim on skincare and cosmetic products indicating that a dermatologist examined the product or supervised trials—though it says nothing about the results or whether the dermatologist approved it.

The phrase sounds reassuring but has no regulated meaning: The lotion is dermatologist tested and hypoallergenic.

Compare with "dermatologist recommended," which implies endorsement.
