### 5/5 — Informative beauty app

*2021-05-16, version 1.4.7*

My eyes have been opened to so many new products I didn’t know existed because of the app! My skin and hair have never been better! I really like how everything is customized to your personal preferences and gives you matches based on percentage. Switching over to clean beauty can be daunting at first but this makes it so easy! Highly recommend this app!

### 5/5 — An easy way to check beauty ingredients!

*2021-05-15, version 1.4.7*

I love this app and have been recommending it to everyone I know! I’ve rarely encountered a product that wasn’t included in the app, and when I have, the Good Face team has quickly responded to my request to review a product. I find the app the be very easy to use and the information included can be useful for beauty newbies and experts. Definitely a go to when I’m shopping for new products!

### 5/5 — MUST HAVE APP LADIES!

*2021-05-14, version 1.4.7*

I have been using this app for a few months and hones I’m shook! I’ve always heard about clean beauty and such but this app takes it to a new level of being educated. I’m able to know what ingredients are in the products I love but most importantly, I’m able to discover other products that are better for my skin as fat as ingredients! I love that I’m able to be apart of a community of ladies that love the app and different products. I always find myself loving how easy the app is to maneuver. Get the app ladies, it’s so helpful and eye opening!

### 5/5 — Helpful app

*2021-05-14, version 1.4.7*

This app has all things for clean beauty. It’s informative and intuitive. It also matches your skin profile to the products. I often check this app before making purchasing decisions. I love to try new and innovative skin care products. There are so many skin care/beauty products out there and it’s a hard task to find a right product for me. The app like this makes it easy and less overwhelming to try out new products.

### 5/5 — Such a unique app!

*2021-05-13, version 1.4.7*

I’ve tried a lot of other beauty apps but Good Face really focuses on ingredients which I haven’t seen anywhere else. They also offer Good Face Experts panel opportunities where you can try and review upcoming products. Through GFE, I have gotten to try brands at no/low costs and help others along the way with insightful reviews. This is super rewarding in multiple ways and I’ve found awesome women-owned companies who are really changing the space. Love it!

### 5/5 — Wonderful app for natural products

*2021-05-12, version 1.4.7*

I’m so glad I came across this app. The way they have it so easy to search for products and have a list of the ingredients and the harmful ingredients and why they could potentially be harmful is great. I’ve also had the opportunity to be apart of the good face panel and that has been fun as well because I received the opportunity to try products I otherwise would probably have never risked trying. This is a very good application for those who are interested in natural products and I would definitely recommend them!

### 5/5 — Go to skincare & beauty app!!

*2021-05-12, version 1.4.7*

Clean products has always been a mysterious notion to me - I just never knew where to start or where to look, but Good Face makes it easy and fun to explore and discover. I love the full transparency and the education on the products!! They took an overwhelming industry and made it so much easier to access !! Definitely has become my go to app to find and check beauty/ skin products.

### 5/5 — So clean!

*2021-05-11, version 1.4.7*

It’s really invaluable to find a service like this. I had products that I was using that I was SO SURE were clean and good for my skin, and it turned out they had so many chemicals and carcinogens in them!  This app has saved my skin and greatly increased my knowledge regarding my skincare products.  I use a LOT OF SKINCARE; and skin is semipermeable and leaving me vulnerable to all sorts of chemicals that I both didn’t understand and didn’t know how they were harmful.  This app will tell you what ingredients in your skincare or beauty products might be harmful.  Then IT TELLS YOU THE NEGATIVE EFFECTS THEY MAY CAUSE.  Not only that but so much more, reviews, product tests, and intro to the newest and cleanest products on the market today.

### 5/5 — Top Fave!

*2021-05-10, version 1.4.7*

I came across this app on Instagram and thought I would give it a try. It is very interesting compared to others due to the ability that they have to match you with products. I also love that the focus is on clean beauty as this is becoming more and more important to me.
I was recently sent products to sample in exchange for review. I must say it is one of the best app collaborations I’ve ever been part of! It was very straightforward, fair and I was sent some extremely scrumptious products that I didn’t even know existed! 
I am thankful to have had the chance to try products and I am excited about future opportunities!

### 5/5 — So helpful!!

*2021-05-10, version 1.4.7*

I’ve been wanting to switch to cleaner products for years but got overwhelming trying to simply remember which products to avoid. This app makes buying new products so much easier!! I use it every time I buy a new product, whether it’s haircuts, skincare, or makeup. I love that it tells you exactly why a product might be bad/irritating, so you can decide which products you’re okay with and which you want to avoid. I also really appreciate that the app cites the scientific article the information comes from, so I know it’s reputable. I love that it gives me cleaner suggestions for nearly every product I look up. The only drawback is that sometimes I can’t find lesser-known brands, but I’ve seen more brands show up just over the past few months that I’ve had the app.

### 5/5 — Absolutely love this app

*2021-05-10, version 1.4.7*

I think it’s essential to have this app on your phone! I always love the personalization quizzes; they ask what type of skin you have, age, skin concerns, I think it’s really helpful. You can favorite products you really like, and there’s so much range of products in general.  They list all of the ingredients, if it’s right for you, you’ll definitely know. The products I receive are high quality too. Really really happy I found this.

### 5/5 — Wonderful App

*2021-05-10, version 1.4.7*

I absolutely love how informative this app is. You plug in your day to day life ranging from exercise to even the type of atmosphere you are in and everything to do with your skin, it gives you recommendations based on you specifically. This is the best way for you to use products more based on what is right for you and I think that is really awesome. Like having your own skincare specialist at your fingers!

### 5/5 — Favorite skincare and product app!

*2021-05-10, version 1.4.7*

This is the best app for full transparency of all your skincare and beauty products. There is so much false marketing out there that even a sophisticated shopper gets easily misled by all the buzzwords. Most products these day say something to the effect of clean, green, free but that’s not truly the case! This app gives you full transparency of what is in products. Only thanks to this app have I been able to slowly switch out all my beauty products - many of which I had previously thought were clean! When you look up a product, it gives you a simple score of the product, but also gives you a very in-depth analysis of why it’s harmful. The best part is that it also gives you a recommendation of an alternative cleaner product. I don’t put anything on my body before first consulting this app.

### 5/5 — Great app for learning about and sampling clean beauty products

*2021-05-10, version 1.4.7*

As consumers become more interested in products that are better for the environment and better for our bodies, it has become difficult to navigate misleading marketing and complicated ingredient lists. The Good Face app makes it so easy to find products that are effective and natural. I’ve also been able to sample multiple products through the app, which is a great way to try new products.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Not helpful or even accurate

*2021-02-06, version 1.4.6*

When you search products you get multiple results for the same product with different ratings. Furthermore, they tell you there are ingredients that aren’t safe but don’t say what they are. Also, the so called “experts” are just other people on the app that sign up to try products. They are not required to have any education or professional qualifications in the field of esthetics or any background in skincare or healthcare of any kind!  Choices of ingredients to avoid is also limited. And there is no way to search based on ingredients you’re looking for. I also find it irritating that you have to log in using a Facebook, google, or apple account.

### 3/5 — Somewhat helpful

*2022-02-07, version 1.4.7*

It’s an interesting concept, needs work and refinement. Here are some notes:

1) There should be a way to edit your full profile. The section where you check off toxins you want to avoid should link to some explanation—it’s pretty difficult unless you’re a chemist. I got stuck in a few of them, and I could not find a way to say I did not want phenoxyethanol. 

2) when you search for an ingredient or product, like for example “vitamin C” or “vitamin c serum” the results should be ranked according to your algorithm percentage of what is a good match.

3) clean certified—not sure how you came up with that. Seems like they paid you to get the sticker. There is inconsistency with the plus minus ratings. There are items where the same ingredient gives a product a plus, and another product a minus. Not sure how you rate these. 

It’s a great idea—and I am sure a ton of work. Nice job overall

### 3/5 — Love but can’t figure out one detail

*2020-11-22, version 1.4.1*

I love this app. I have been searching years for more science based recommendation sites. I use Paula’s Choice and it has made a huge difference since I started using Beautypedia 8 years ago to find better skincare. Now I have another alternative to better narrow down products that both sites recommend. I have rosacea prone skin and am looking forward to see the recs y’all have for me. 
One thing I can’t figure out though and it is keeping me away from 5 stars is why have the community posts where some members are asking questions if I am not able to respond to them? Please let me know where I am missing the ability to communicate with others.

I would also like to see the options to filter/sort by match %, reviews or +/-/!/G symbols.

**Developer response:** Hi there! Thank you for the thoughtful feedback! We agree! The community tab needs to allow for folks to discuss and comment on posts. It is the very next feature on our long to do list, and we will let you know as soon as it is live!
About filters, there are filters galore (including the ones you mention) in the "search" tab of the app.

### 3/5 — Can’t wait to see this get better and better!

*2020-07-14, version 1.0.2*

I love the idea of this app so much! I’ve just started doing a deeper dive into my skin health so the timing is perfect. It’s much needed and has so much potential. From my initial pass through it, here are areas I’d love to see updates:
- more diverse + black owned beauty brands 
- less product options to scroll through after completing the survey. I want to be able to know the top 5 products I should look into, not the top 30+.
- the questionnaire was tough to answer: even a Q as simple as skin tone was difficult with the descriptors available (ex: what does “dark” mean?) 
- I don’t know what all the toxic ingredients are and their implications on my particular skin - definitions could be super helpful! I found myself in a separate browser, googling.
- It is extra work to go through each of the product categories to re-select the ethics/safety/toxins info. I imagine people have different preferences for their skin vs their hair.

### 4/5 — Must have App

*2021-08-30, version 1.4.7*

I love this app so much. It’s very easy to search and read results. I have already gone through almost all of my hair and skin care products. I was surprised to find out so many had hormonal disrupters or high levels of irritants. I became more concerned after a few new products that were supposed to be “holy grail” or high rated left me with contact dermatitis. I did use the app to find new products to replace the ones I decided to toss out and have really loves them. This has really proven to be a game changer on putting my money toward proven clean products that perform as expected or better.

### 4/5 — Could be better

*2021-05-24, version 1.4.7*

It’s a pretty useful app if you’d like to switch your daily skin care routine to more clean and healthy way. I hope it can allow users to upload more products with verified ingredients (like CosDNA). Not all products I’m interested to know are on their database especially Korean or Japanese beauty brands. What’s more, sometimes I feel the rates aren’t unbiased. Even two products share almost same ingredient list, they may have totally different rate since they belong to different brands.

### 4/5 — An app that actually helps

*2021-05-13, version 1.4.7*

I discovered Good Face Beauty app while at my dermatologist’s office. It is such a helpful app when wanting to learn more about new products or even ones your currently using. I’ve received two products to review via their Good Face Experts panel. Their product review panel guidelines are pretty simple and cost you nothing unless you don’t complete the study which is something I absolutely love. It cost companies a lot of money to send products out for clients to review and when your being compensated for said product you should uphold your part of the deal. I’ve really loved using the app and being apart of the Good Face Expert panel. If your wanting to stick more to a chemical free, environmental friendly, animal free, and less lifestyle this is a great app for you to have.

### 4/5 — Great for Finding New Favorites

*2021-05-11, version 1.4.7*

I tried this on a whim but was pleasantly surprised. It’s helped me find some new products to try and samples of products from brands I like. Love the concept as a whole since it cuts down on time I would’ve had to spend researching chemicals/ingredients and seeking out reviews. I do wish they would make it easier to import the products you already use, build out your routine and suggest similar items that match your preferences/skin type. But I’m sure over time and with more users they will make some updates that make more suggestions.

### 4/5 — Amazing app for conscious consumers.

*2021-05-11, version 1.4.7*

I’ve been using the EWG app for a few years and when I found Goodface it was super easy to implement into selecting personal care and beauty products! It’s really important that what I put on my body doesn’t cause any harm, and it’s also important that the products I use reflect my values regarding veganism and animal testing. This app has made it so easy to not only find products that I use/intend to use, but I love love LOVE that they offer cleaner alternatives to products with lesser ratings. Thank you, Goodface team! Only complaint I have is that the app doesn’t always work perfectly for me. I am unable to click the link to request a brand/product be added. That said, I still would highly recommend this app!

### 4/5 — Incredible content in one place!

*2020-07-16, version 1.0.21*

It’s so difficult to choose the right face products! The marketing is so opaque and I have no idea what works. As I get older and want to invest in my face care routine with more expensive products, having good information is key. This app provides a wealth of knowledge and is a trusted source of accurate/well-researched information. I don’t know of another source like it! Knocked off a star because there’s still some room to go with the UX/UI - it’s not always intuitive to navigate and the filtering options are lacking - but I’m sure it will improve overtime. I will be a frequent user!

### 5/5 — This is a game changer

*2022-12-18, version 1.4.7*

I struggle to find products for my very sensitive skin and when trying to read ingredients, often don’t understand which ones should be avoided for my skin type. I have now used the good face project app for a few weeks and so far found 2 amazing products that have done wonders for my skin. If you care about what you’re putting on your face/body but don’t have the time or patience to do the research yourself, I 100% recommend downloading this free app

### 5/5 — What I’ve been looking for

*2022-05-30, version 1.4.7*

This app is excellent. I can search the products that I use and it gives me information on the ingredients, whether they’re good or bad, and if it contains toxins or irritants. And if I can’t find my product, I email the app through a link and I describe the product I need examined and then like the next day, they’ve emailed me that it’s on the app already. Very cool. Love it

### 5/5 — Download it!

*2021-08-10, version 1.4.7*

This is the app! Download it! Super easy to use and I have shared it with all of my friends. Knowing what is in your cosmetics/products seems impossible sometimes. Companies are not transparent or use key words like no cruelty or natural ingredients to catch your eye! These same companies have hormonal disrupters or carcinogens in their products. This app has proved to be an invaluable source of information! Also, if there is a product that is not available on the app, you email, they review. Just amazing.

### 5/5 — Changed my skin!

*2021-06-21, version 1.4.7*

As someone who’s very acne prone and has tried a million different products, this is the holy grail of beauty apps. Reviews don’t provide anything about ingredients so what works for one person won’t always work for another. I know what ingredients don’t agree with my skin but I hate reading labels. I used this app to find cleaner alternatives to products I liked and I finally have the clear skin of my dreams. Thank you Good Face Project!!

### 5/5 — My go-to

*2021-06-18, version 1.4.7*

I use many apps and websites for researching clean products. This one is my go-to for a few reasons. It’s super easy to use. Transparent, non-biased info. Can shop straight from the app as well as find new products. Incredible company with pure motives. And the coolest feature of all is the highly customized product suggestions by processing your specific wants and needs via an impressively detailed questionnaire then matching you up with the best, cleanest products according to your input. Super awesome

### 5/5 — So useful and well made!

*2021-06-04, version 1.4.7*

I absolutely love this app. I use it every time I am about to go to the store to buy some new products, especially for skincare and cosmetics! All the information on the ingredients of a product is so thorough and easy to understand, it really makes me feel good about the choices I make to use clean things on my body! I showed this to my mom and she uses it all the time as well.

### 5/5 — Made me more aware

*2021-06-01, version 1.4.7*

I honestly was not a huge clean beauty junkie before using this app but now that I’ve been using it for several months and engaging with the community I feel so much more aware of clean beauty ingredients and products. I’ve been fortunate to participate in some of their product panels and it has turned me on to some amazing brands and products that have now become part of my beauty routine. I’ve learned a lot from this app and now consult it when I’m looking for something new to add to my beauty collection.

### 5/5 — Great App

*2021-05-27, version 1.4.7*

I love this app. It let’s you find out all you need to know about skincare and what’s right for your individual needs. It takes all the info on your skin type, concerns and environment to give you recommendations. You can look up products and see how much of a match they are for you. You can also look up reviews and post your own.

### 5/5 — Helpful and Amazing!

*2021-05-27, version 1.4.7*

This app is amazing! It’s super helpful and informative, and you can see that a lot of work goes into it. The product index is large and detailed, and has helped me tremendously in selecting better skincare for myself. I also have been privileged to be a part of three test panels so far and have tested some awesome products thanks to this app!! I will continue to support and broadcast this app as long as I can!❤️🖤❤️

### 5/5 — Amazing app

*2021-05-16, version 1.4.7*

I love this app a lot. We can review our favorite natural products. It is nice to discover brands that we never heard of, and they are much better then conventional ones. This app is good, because they send us full size products to test and review. I’ve got a full set of shampoo, conditioner and hair style and they value $99. This is just amazing. I highly recommend to make an account and start reviewing on your own to qualify for upcoming testing from the company.
