  • PERFECT SKINCARE APP

    Literally my favorite app. I love all things skin-care and this app helps me look for products that would be good for my skin as well as check my current products to see if they’re good and keep track of my routine. I love it and wish I found it sooner!!
  • In app purchase

    This is a subscription service, not detailed in the apps description.
  • 😡🤬

    This app is horrible 😤 when you try and scan something it gives you like 4 times to scan something but after that you have to pay premium I hate apps like this 😩

    Hi there! While we have limits on the number of photo scans that free users can perform, you can scan unlimited text-based ingredient lists as well as search for any product using the Explore tab. (photo scans cost us money, so unfortunately we can't offer unlimited ones for free) Please reach out to hello@skinsort.com if you have any other feedback - we're always looking for ways that we can improve. Thank you for giving SkinSort a try!
  • Need improvements

    You should be able to search anything and filter that. It only shows you a few products based on your search and you can’t filter it based on your specifications. Like I want to look up cleansing balms but that’s not an option.

    Thank you for your review! We really appreciate it :) Being able to filter after you've entered a search query is a great idea. We'll work on getting that added so you can perform any type of search! If you ever have any additional feedback or ideas, feel free to send us an email hello@skinsort.com. Thanks again for using SkinSort!
  • I LOVE this app

    I love this app so much I actually went out of my way to leave a review. I’ve been on it non-stop. You can filter what products you want by which retailers you want to buy from, request specific ingredients you want or DONT want in your skincare, specific spf levels, skin concerns, etc.
    It gives a whole product breakdown though I do suggest a little bit more research if you wanna know specifics about certain ingredients. You can compare different products, and if they don’t have a product listed you can copy and paste the ingredients and it can give you a product breakdown. And I’m using it for free. I’m sure the Premium has great perks for you (scan products with camera, compare multiple products at once, specific recommendations for your skin)- will definitely be purchasing it.

  • The App That Makes Exploring Skincare A Smooth Experience

    I’ve only started using the SkinSort since the beginning of the year but this is truly something I wish existed when I first got into skincare. I love it even more now that there is a mobile app especially when I need to scan a product I’m curious about in person. There’s so many useful features in the in regards to comparing products, researching ingredients, a routine/diary tracker, finding cheaper dupes and an extensive database. And the best thing is that it’s all free! There are some additional perks with the subscription but I wouldn’t say that’s required to fully obtain all the great insight and benefits that this app has to offer. One of my favorite things about the app is how clear and organized the ingredient breakdown for each product is. The symbols for the ingredient help you clearly indicate the main traits to know for it which are very useful for detecting potential irritants. I also am a fan of how each review by users is very authentic which is something that I feel similar apps are lacking. If you’re someone who feels easily overwhelmed by not knowing where to start, they also offer helpful blogs that breakdown the need to know essentials. Wether you’re starting out or you’re a skincare junkie, SkinSort should be your first choice! Kudos to the developers they’ve done an awesome job with this app and , I really hope they keep up the good work!!!

  • FINALLY AN APP!!

    i’ve been using skinsort for so long (maybe like a year), when i first discovered it- IT WAS LIKE AN ANGEL THAT DESCENDED FROM THE HEAVENS AND GAVE ME THIS GLORIOUS WEBSITE/(now)APP. it’s helped me be more decisive and picky with the products i buy. especially when it breaks down the ingredients, and how people in the community feel about them. key features i love: 1. comparing products if you’re feeling conflicted with buying one product verses the other, YOU CAN COMPARE THEM. when i tell you i tried looking for other apps/websites that did this, i came up with nothing. how i felt about this is, “how hard is it to make something to compare products”. not hard because skinsort has that feature for you! 😁 2. searching tool you can filter things down, this is probably like the most simple thing but they i believe they’re more detailed with their search tool. you can search based on: COUNTRY, INGREDIENTS, PREFERENCES, CATEGORY, and so much more. 3. UPLOADING PRODUCTS if they don’t have a product, AND YOU HAVE IT. upload it. that’s it, you can just upload it, they’ll double check everything and the information. like this app/website is so perfect. they check the ingredients as well, and i feel like that shows how much hard work each person who works at skinsort does. 4. for you, holy grails, trending, and more buttons now this is new and i personally love it, because i get confused easily on what is doing wHAT. so the fact that they have an oil control option is nice, because searching yourself can be really difficult. especially if you’re new to skincare and trying to understand everything/looking for things for your SKIN. 5. skin care diary now i personally don’t use this, because i just have a hard time with logging things in 😭, but it’s really helpful for other people who are set on keeping track on their skincare. especially if you’re forgetful, and if you forgot what routine you used on what. and what broke you out on what day when you used a certain routine, yk? 6. you can FOLLOW PEOPLE? i feel like this is a good feature especially for really big skincare lovers who like to review for other people because it does do us all a service. we know how it affects someone, and it better helps us judge something based on other people’s experience. 7. SCANNING. when i tell you, it’s hard to walk into let’s say MARSHALLS. and be in the aisle trying to look up a product, COPY and PASTE the ingredients into the checker. now, we have the camera to scan, round of applause- because skinsort made it easier for all of us. there’s more to skinsort, but for someone who’s struggled with their skin and got into skincare trying to look for solutions. and couldn’t come up with any product that helped with hyperpigmentation in the past. i’m glad there are more companies and PEOPLE who are digging deep to understand skin better. and that are there to build a big and more effective community around skincare. this means a lot to someone who didn’t know anything at first, and now knows how to help others with their skin. for people getting into skincare, please use this app- it’ll save you the struggle and time of researching on google and going from website to website trying to understand ingredients (there are some ingredients on this website even skinsort doesn’t know but there are people who are taking time to figure it out and post onto there) and how products will affect skin. and thank you skinsort for making life so much easier when it comes to skincare.

    EDIT:
    adding new ui that fits the ipad? 😮

  • Very easy to use

    I usually stay logged in on my phone’s browser, so very happy to have an app now instead! I’m not a premium user but I have all the features I need to keep track of what I’m using, jot down notes each evening, and research products I may want to try.
    I also love using the shelves to categorize the things I want to look into more and I often check out other people’s routines for ideas and tips. Reading product reviews here has helped me so much with finding my own favorites.

    Overall really pleased to have a smoother mobile experience.

  • Great interface, more premium-user friendly

    It’s so easy to use and has digestible insight to the ingredients in skincare, haircare, makeup, and other cosmetics. I’d recommend it to anyone who’s curious about what’s in your products. It’s also very easy to submit feedback, products, and interact with other users. The app does often require a subscription for more helpful information- detailed insight into your specific skincare routine, automatically matching products to your needs, and more. I couldn’t say if it’s worth it or not, as I use the free version of the app.
