## What is BeauBud?

Buying skincare is a guessing game. A five-star review from someone with different skin may not tell you what will work for you. BeauBud ranks product reviews by how closely the reviewer's skin matches yours.

BROWSE WITHOUT AN ACCOUNT
Open BeauBud and freely browse the product catalog and reviews. No registration, email address, or sign-in is required.

OPTIONAL PERSONALIZATION
Take the short skin quiz to personalize review rankings. You can see a match percentage and the traits you share, such as concern, active ingredient, strength, and sensitivity.

HOW IT WORKS
1. Browse products and reviews immediately as a guest.
2. Optionally complete the skin quiz to personalize rankings.
3. Open a product to see relevant reviews and an honest confidence meter showing how much matching data is available.
4. Optionally sign in with email to keep the same account across sessions.

BUILT FOR ACNE AND RETINOID ROUTINES
BeauBud starts narrow and deep, focusing on routines involving tretinoin, adapalene, salicylic acid, azelaic acid, benzoyl peroxide, and niacinamide.

PRIVATE BY DEFAULT
No ad tracking. Email is optional and used only for sign-in. Skin profiles belong to the user. Progress photos stay private unless the user explicitly chooses to share an outcome.

ACCOUNT CONTROL
Users can permanently delete their account and associated data directly in Settings.

EARLY ACCESS
Some reviews are clearly labeled illustrative sample data while we build a library of verified, consented outcomes. BeauBud distinguishes sample content from real member outcomes.
