Would Love A Notes Option

I love that I can search a database of thousands of products before I buy. What would really love though is the option to make notes against products. I’ve tried so many new products thanks to Caroline’s amazing kits, but not all products are suitable for my skin and it would be great to be able to say make notes of specific reactions or what’s amazing about a product. This would keep my list of products much more relevant.

All content now behind a paywall

I understand the need to make money but what started as free editorial content now sits behind a paywall. All of it! The only thing that doesn’t appear to sit behind it is your skin profile and a shopping list of possible things to BUY! I enjoyed the content but actually I can find similar on other channels which I sometimes choose to pay for on subscription because of the variety.

I still think Caroline Hirons is pretty amazing but I deleted the app. Not for me.

Fantastic app

This app is so so so helpful.
Some pages are broken and I wasn’t sure where to put that feedback. Milia page needs a fix as it’s not go the information updated

My go to before buying

I’ve had this app since it was released and use it whenever I’m looking for something new. I trust Caroline’s advice and recommendations implicitly.
However, since upgrading to the new app, I find it glitchy. I can’t tap and open some products I want to read about which is frustrating.
When I add more filters to look at products with a particular ingredient, eg peptides, add my profile and Caroline’s approved products, the app says there are 39 products to view but when I click on it, no products appear.
I understand apps are always being updated so wanted to mention this.
I’d also like to have a filter for types of products, eg cleansers with a filter for fragranced/fragrance free and filter balms, oils, creams etc
I still love the app overall for information I can read and products I would never think to look at or purchase

CH highlights/reviews now under membership view only

Love this app. I’ve had it since last year. I recently noticed that they revamped the app. While I like the look and organization of this new version, I’m super bummed I can’t see anything CH recommends, highlights, or reviews. You can only see it if you pay a membership. I’m truly bummed out about this because reading her input is what drew me to this app in the first place. Nothing wrong with wanting to charge for certain access, I busy wish that was still free.

Really useful

Premium version
The ability to find products and especially “founder favourites “ really good feature. Good articles and guides as well.

Useless

All this app does is pair your skin up with expensive products. You’d be better off googling a few articles about skin.

Response from developer

Hello, The free version is great for skincare beginners looking to find products suited to their skin and brush up on all of the education a novice might need, whilst the Premium subscription is perfect for self-proclaimed skincare aficionados, providing you with access to everything available on the free version of the app, plus the following features: Exclusive Caroline Hirons content in our dedicated CH Says section, the re-birth and continuation of Caroline’s original blog. Exclusive content on The Column, including all of our expert-written product reviews, First Impressions, Desk Diaries, Testing Shelfs and more. Advanced filtering options allow users to filter products by Price and ‘Founder Favourite’ The ability to bookmark your favourite or must-read articles for later viewing. Add personal notes to product reviews. I hope this provides further clarify on what you can enjoy on the Skin Rocks app. Lucy, Skin Rocks Team

Love love

This is fabulous! I’m loving being able to look at all the skincare and cosmetics that are suited to my needs. The only silly thing is that I’m from the USA so I wonder in the future if there’s a way to add a feature converting the pounds to the individual’s particular currency.

Response from developer

Hello, Your feedback is important to us so thank you for taking the time to leave a 5 star review. Currently GBP is the preferred and only currency available for product prices. Feedback is reviewed regularly so that we can establish where this improvement might be implemented. Lucy, Skin Rocks Team.

Friendly user interface + Informative

Beautifully designed app that explains skincare clearly and comprehensively.

The explanations of ingredients are its strong point- very transparent, balanced and explained simply without sacrificing detail.

The product reviews are fairly unremarkable, and the Skin Rocks products are hailed above all else (unsurprisingly), but the feature where you can save and review the products you own is a nice touch.

I sincerely wish there was an option to download articles for offline viewing.

Great app but skin match not showing anymore 🙁

The app is really helpful and I especially loved it when it was showing my skin match on different products I was searching. I don’t know if they’ve removed it as an option or it’s a bug. Tried to delete the app and reinstall it but still the same 🙁
