Everyday things, checked against the studies.
Studied Things is a small, independent home for plain-language, research-backed help with two things that keep a lot of us up at night: itchy, eczema-prone skin and getting decent rest. We read the research, show you the sources, and tell you when the evidence is thin.
Two departments, one standard.
Department · Eczema & sensitive skin
Studied Skin
Eczema care, backed by the studies. Moisturizers with research you can actually read, and a simple 1-to-5 check-in for how your skin is doing this week.
- Products rated by evidence tier
- Who paid for each study, shown
- Clear "see a clinician" signs
Department · Sleep & wind-down
Studied Rest
Research-backed sleep sounds, with every video cited. Long, calm fireplace and pink-noise videos on YouTube, plus honest notes on what the research does and doesn't show.
- Footnotes in every video
- No "healing frequency" claims
- New long videos on YouTube
The same rules in every department.
- Every claim gets a source.Health claims link to peer-reviewed studies, clinical guidelines, or official labels you can open yourself.
- We say when evidence is thin.Small, short, or maker-funded studies are labeled that way, right next to the claim.
- Commissions don't pick.If a product pays us, it gets the same evidence check as one that doesn't. Many of our picks pay nothing.
- We point you to real care.When something needs a clinician, we say so plainly instead of selling you something.
Things we'd actually recommend.
Mattresses, sleep masks, earplugs, moisturizers, and more. Each pick shows the research behind it, or says plainly when it's a comfort item with no product-level evidence.
See the gear list →I'm Ciro Martone, a registered nurse with over 10 years of experience. I started Studied Things because health advice online is often louder than the evidence behind it. Here, I read the research, link every source, and tell you plainly when the evidence is thin, so you can make calmer, better-informed choices for your skin and your sleep.
