That includes bringing on a reviews editor and new team members to expand our hands-on testing capacity. Though we can’t try every product we cover, the SPY team has rapidly ramped up our product testing efforts. Brands cannot pay SPY for positive reviews, and every review and shopping guide on our site is based purely on our editorial recommendations. Our coverage includes new product releases, trends and news that’s relevant to our readers, in addition to product reviews based on in-depth hands-on testing. Our editors and writers hand-select every product we feature on SPY. You can also refer to our About Us page for more information on our editorial process. To be as transparent as possible, we wanted to outline our product testing process in detail. Most importantly, we have implemented a rigorous product testing system to ensure SPY readers are getting the best possible product recommendations. When writing about the best face wash for men, we’ll consult dermatologists in addition to relying on our grooming writers’ expertise in this subject area. To find the best products, we scour the web, carefully read customer reviews, compare product specifications, and talk to experts.

From our office in New York and Los Angeles, or from our own homes, we’re always trying out new products for SPY readers.

The SPY editorial team includes product testers, commerce journalists, and product reviewers with decades of combined experience testing products. We will never recommend a product that we wouldn’t buy ourselves, and we love finding awesome new gear to share with SPY’s readers. Over the past few years, the SPY team has tested thousands of products, and we have a simple goal: to help you shop smart. We bring you under-the-radar releases and top-rated picks from across the globe. We focus on men’s grooming and lifestyle, technology and gadgets, and health and fitness. SPY.com is a discovery and reviews platform, connecting you with the latest in the world of products.
