01 / What a scan returns

Here's what a 6-second scan actually returns.

We're not telling you "glow." We're telling you your left cheek is 18% drier than your right, your barrier is reading compromised, and the niacinamide serum you're using twice daily is likely the reason.

02 / Shelf audit

We audit the shelf you already own.

Photograph your bathroom shelf. We read the labels, cross-reference your skin's current state, and tell you which products are pulling their weight, which are redundant, and which are likely the reason your barrier is shot.

04 / Model card

What we can read, and what we can't.

We're trained on 240,000 dermatologist-annotated scans. We can read surface signals — hydration, barrier integrity, pigmentation, texture. We can't diagnose conditions, replace a derm visit for anything concerning, or read what's happening below the surface. We tell you exactly which is which on every report.

What we read

  • Surface hydration levels (zone-mapped)
  • Barrier function indicators
  • Pigmentation count and progression
  • Texture and pore visibility
  • Inflammation surface markers
  • Product ingredient cross-checks

What we won't claim

  • Diagnose acne, rosacea, or any condition
  • Read what's happening below the dermis
  • Replace a dermatologist visit
  • Recommend prescription products
  • Assess melanoma or moles
  • Promise outcomes — only track them

If something looks concerning, we'll tell you to see a dermatologist. We are not one.

05 / Honest pricing

One free scan. Or $9 a month if you want to keep tracking.

No tiers. No "premium AI." Same model for everyone. The paid plan exists because we run inference on real photos and that costs real money — not because we're holding features hostage.

06 / A note

A note from the person who built this.

Founder at her desk in natural daylight, laptop open

I spent four years and roughly $3,200 buying products that made my skin worse.

I built this because I wanted the tool I needed at 2am holding a niacinamide bottle wondering if it was the reason my face was on fire.

It is not a replacement for a dermatologist. It's the thing you use between dermatologist visits, when you're trying to make sense of your own bathroom shelf.
