AI Skin Analysis

An AI skin analysis reads a selfie and describes what your skin looks like — texture, tone, redness, shine, pores and more — then gives an overall skin score out of 100 and your likely skin type. It is a cosmetic read of one photo, meant to help you choose a sensible routine, not a medical diagnosis.

The result opens with your score, a likely skin type (for example "likely combination skin") and a short summary that leads with what your skin does well.

It rates eight visible measures, each with a short value such as "Good", "Mild" or "Visible" and a note on where it shows:

• Texture: smoothness, bumps and roughness.
• Tone evenness: patches, uneven colour and post-blemish marks.
• Redness: around the nose, cheeks and chin.
• Under-eye: darkness and puffiness.
• Shine and oil: mostly in the T-zone.
• Pores: how visible they are, and where.
• Fine lines: forehead, eyes and mouth.
• Dark spots: sun spots and marks.

Half of these are free. The full details add the rest, plus what your skin does well, a morning routine, an evening routine, over-the-counter ingredients to look for and a 4-week plan.

Most people fall into one of four everyday skin types: oily (shine across the face, more visible pores), dry (tight, flaky or dull), combination (an oily T-zone with normal or dry cheeks) and normal (balanced, few concerns). Sensitive skin can overlap with any of them.

A photo shows some of these signs — shine, visible pores, flaking, redness — so the result gives a likely type rather than a certain one. Feel counts too: if your skin feels tight a few hours after washing, it leans dry even if it looks shiny in a photo. Sensitivity in particular is about how skin reacts, which a photo cannot see.

Skin texture is how the surface feels and catches the light — smooth or rough, with or without bumps, flakes, enlarged pores or fine lines. Skin tone is colour: how even it is across your face, and whether there are red areas, dark spots or marks left after blemishes.

They need different care, which is why the result scores them separately. Texture tends to respond to regular, gentle exfoliation and moisture; uneven tone tends to respond to daily sunscreen, patience and ingredients aimed at dark spots. Treating one as the other is a common reason a routine does not seem to work.

Lighting changes how both read. Light from the side or above makes texture look deeper than it is, while warm light hides redness. A clear, front-lit photo gives the fairest read of both, and the notes on each measure say where on your face it shows — for example redness around the nose, or shine across the forehead.

No. This tool is not an AI dermatologist and does not diagnose skin conditions. It describes what is visible in one photo and suggests a cosmetic, over-the-counter routine.

A dermatologist examines your skin in person, asks about your history and can diagnose and treat conditions such as acne, rosacea or eczema. If something is persistent, painful, spreading or changing — including a mole or spot that looks different from before — see a dermatologist or doctor. The result never suggests prescription treatments, injectables or procedures.

Start simple and add one thing at a time. The detailed result tailors this to your skin, but the backbone of most routines is the same:

• Morning: a gentle cleanser (or just water), a moisturiser that suits your skin type and a broad-spectrum sunscreen every day.
• Evening: cleanse off sunscreen and the day, then moisturise. This is where a targeted product for your main concern fits.
• One change at a time: introduce new products one by one, a couple of weeks apart, and patch-test first, so you can tell what helps and what irritates.
• Give it weeks: texture and tone change slowly. The 4-week plan in the details is built around that.

Textured skin and uneven tone are common targets. Gentle exfoliation and consistent sunscreen are the usual starting points; anything stronger is a conversation for a dermatologist.

1. Wash your face and skip makeup. Foundation and concealer hide exactly what the AI is looking for.
2. Face a window in daylight. Overhead light exaggerates texture; warm bulbs hide redness.
3. Turn off filters, beauty mode and skin smoothing. Smoothing can make the result look better than your skin is.
4. Hold the camera at arm's length, at eye level, with your whole face in focus.

To track progress, retake in the same spot and light every few weeks. A brand-new photo gets a fresh analysis; the same photo shows the stored result.

Skin is a big part of how old you look. To see the age each part of your face reads, try How Old Do I Look; for a plan that ranks skin against hair, brows and style, take the glow up test.

The skin score, likely skin type, summary and half of the measures are free. The full details — the remaining measures, both routines, ingredients and the 4-week plan — cost 20 credits, one time. Credits never expire and there is no subscription. Free analyses are limited per device per day.
