Can you post your project here?

Self-promotion of your product or company is generally banned. Personal content is allowed only if you are an active contributor (9:1 rule) and disclose affiliate links, following username and flair rules.

Before you post: Must meet the 9:1 contribution rule, disclose affiliate links, and follow username/flair rules. Direct promotion of your product or company is banned.

The rules, in their words

1. Be kind and respectful: * **Don't be rude** Even if you disagree with someone, stay polite. * **Be respectful when talking about mental and physical health** You can express concern or share your own experiences; you can’t make fun of or bash someone over mental or physical health issues. * **Respond appropriately to images** Our users post pics to talk about their skin - not about their general looks or attractiveness.   [Rule Overview](https://www.reddit.com/r/SkincareAddiction/wiki/rule_overview)
2. Safety first: * **Don't give unsafe advice.** - * **Don't ask for or hand out medical diagnoses.** We're not doctors, so we can't diagnose or treat your skin condition. This includes severe acne. If you're concerned about something, please [see a doctor](https://www.reddit.com/r/SkincareAddiction/wiki/when_to_see_a_doctor). - * **Don't post about how to get an Rx without a prescription.**   [Rule Overview](https://www.reddit.com/r/SkincareAddiction/wiki/rule_overview)
3. No referral code spam: * **Only post referral codes in the corresponding thread** Don't post your referral code outside our [referral threads](https://www.reddit.com/r/SkincareAddiction/wiki/referral_thread_index); that includes saying things like "PM me for a code" or linking people your code in the referral thread - * **Post only one referral code in the referral thread**   [Rule Overview](https://www.reddit.com/r/SkincareAddiction/wiki/rule_overview)
4. Don't spam your blog, your product, your anything: * **Don't post here about your product or company - at all** * If you're a company, consider taking out a [Reddit Ad](https://www.reddit.com/advertising/) - * **Only post your own content if you meet our conditions** * You must contribute to the sub - rule of thumb is 9:1 * Include a summary in your post and disclose affiliate links * Follow our rules on usernames and flairs   [Rule Overview](https://www.reddit.com/r/SkincareAddiction/wiki/rule_overview)
5. Ask the mods before posting an AMA: To prevent spam, the mod team vets every AMA that's posted in this sub. We will not allow companies to use this sub for covert promotion. However, if you’re an active member of ScA (or a research scientist), just shoot us a modmail to discuss hosting an AMA. This allows us to protect our members from spam and help companies run their AMA smoothly and easily.   [Rule Overview](https://www.reddit.com/r/SkincareAddiction/wiki/rule_overview)
6. Stay on topic: This subreddit is about skincare, and we’d like to keep that the focus. Disallowed topics include: haircare, makeup, eyebrows, eyelashes, etc. It’s fine if you’re having a chat with someone and you happen to share cat pics or talk about makeup, we won’t clamp down on that. But in general, we’d like the sub to stay on topic. We don’t allow politics except in the context of skincare, to make sure that the sub a) stays focused on its main topic and b) continues to be a pleasant place to hang out.
7. Follow our post requirements: * Copy and paste a [valid tag](https://www.reddit.com/r/SkincareAddiction/wiki/how_to/post/valid_title_tags) in your post title. * No simple or low-effort questions as standalone posts. * Every Selfie/B&A must include a full routine. * Every Haul, Shelfie, & Review must include specific information. * Wednesdays are text-post only. * Humor & Cringe on Fridays only.   [Rule Overview](https://www.reddit.com/r/SkincareAddiction/wiki/rule_overview)
8. No low-effort AI: People come to SkincareAddiction to receive advice from other humans. We will ban users that exclusively post AI-generated content, and warn users otherwise. Identifying AI is up to moderator discretion.
9. Other: Used as a reporting rule
