New year, new you, which makes now a great time to try a new product and earn a little extra cash. With Consumer Product Testing Labs (CPT), you can easily do both—simply sign up, visit the CPT laboratory to qualify, try the product at home, and then revisit CPT to report back (your feedback helps shape the final product). The best part is that you and your family can test products you can really use—such as nail treatments, skincare, and makeup — as well as kid-friendly items like conditioner and styling gels (be on the lookout for those in 2026). With studies updated weekly, there are plenty of chances to sign up now and get on the list for future ones. Read on to learn more about the latest CPT studies and how to become a candidate, and check back here for updates. (featured photo credit: istock/JumpStock)
Here are CPT’s newest must-know trials
With studies available for women, men, and children, CPT is easy to sign up for and participate in. Click on the links for more in-depth details about each study, and remember that the initial visit determines if you qualify. Additionally, it is worth noting that the studies are continually updated, and CPT frequently adds new ones, so be sure to follow CPT’s Facebook page for daily updates. When you’re ready to commit, check in with them to confirm if the study you’re interested in is still available. You can also call to schedule an appointment to become qualified as a panelist and receive notifications about the latest studies. FYI—testing for sunscreen products is in the photobiology laboratory, and all take-home studies pay $30 and up, depending on the number of visits and how long the study lasts.
