## What is Kelvia?

Know your skin. Then know what you put on it.

Kelvia exists to answer one question, in a store aisle or at your own shelf: does this product suit MY skin?

HOW IT WORKS
1. Answer four quick questions and, if you like, take a face scan. Together they become your skin profile.
2. Point the camera at a product's ingredient (INCI) list — or search for the product by name when a photo isn't practical.
3. Kelvia reads the ingredients and shows how the product lines up with your profile: a compatibility score, and the reason behind every point, ingredient by ingredient, in plain language.

A SCORE YOU CAN TRACE
The score is not a number an AI made up. The AI only reads the label; the score itself is calculated on your phone, by fixed rules, from the recognised ingredients and your own profile. The same product with the same profile always gets the same score — and every point can be explained.

If a label photo can't be read properly, Kelvia says so instead of guessing.

YOUR ROUTINE, WITH GUARDRAILS
Add scanned products to a morning and evening routine. Kelvia warns about well-known active-ingredient combinations — such as retinoids alongside exfoliating acids or benzoyl peroxide — and calmly explains the vitamin C + niacinamide myth instead of alarming you about it.

YOUR SHELF
Every scanned product is kept in a searchable list, so "did I already check this one, and what came out?" has an instant answer next time you are in the store.

WHAT KELVIA IS NOT
Kelvia is not a medical app. It does not diagnose skin conditions, and it does not check moles, marks or lesions. If a photo appears to show something a professional should look at, the app shows no analysis and suggests seeing a dermatologist instead. And a reassuring result is never a reason to skip a doctor's visit.

NO PAYWALL ON A RESULT
Every analysis is shown in full — no ads, no account, and a result is never put behind a paywall.

FREE AND PREMIUM
Free: 3 product credits and 1 face scan every week. A photo scan of a product uses 1 credit, a search by name 3. Your history, routine and shelf stay free.
Kelvia Premium: 10 product credits and 3 face scans every week. New subscribers start with a 3-day free trial.
Kelvia Premium Monthly (1 month) and Kelvia Premium Yearly (1 year) are auto-renewing subscriptions: $4.99 a month or $39.99 a year in the US; elsewhere the price is shown in your currency before you buy. Payment is charged to your Apple Account when you confirm the purchase. The subscription renews automatically unless it is cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period; the renewal is charged within the 24 hours before the period ends. Manage or cancel it any time in Settings > [your name] > Subscriptions. Any unused part of the free trial ends when you buy a subscription.

LANGUAGES
English, Turkish, German, Spanish, French and Portuguese — the app follows your device language.

Did a result feel wrong? Write to us from inside the app: melberlabs@gmail.com. Every result screen also has a "did this feel right?" card — it goes straight into making the app better.

Kelvia does not replace a dermatologist. If something on your skin worries you, is changing, or is not healing, see a doctor.

## Version history (last 3 releases)

### 1.0.2 — 2026-10-13

What's new in Kelvia 1.0.2:

• My shelf: every product has one row and stays on your shelf when it leaves your routine — with opened dates, pack periods and quick re-opening by barcode.
• Morning and evening reminders, plus a Today card to tick off what you used.
• Alternating nights for products that are better kept apart.
• Paste an ingredient list: copy the "Ingredients" text from a shop page and check a product before you buy.
• A short "how is it going?" check two weeks after a product joins your routine.
• Compare two products, keep your own avoid list, and read what each ingredient does.
• A home-screen widget, a quick action and a Lock Screen control to scan a product.
• New page: how Kelvia scores.

Plus a weekly photo diary that stays on your phone, and small fixes.

### 1.0.1 — 2026-10-07

New: Kelvia Premium (optional).
• Free: 3 product credits and 1 face scan every week, renewed on Monday. Premium: 10 product credits and 3 face scans a week, with a 3-day free trial for new subscribers. Every result stays free to read.
• Used Kelvia before? Your first week comes with the Premium allowance, on us.
• A short "Before you scan" guide before the face scan — and a scan whose photo can't be read isn't counted.
• My shelf: note when you opened a product and how long it keeps after opening.
• "Scan my face" at the end of setup now starts the face scan straight away.
• If you set your skin type yourself, a new scan no longer changes it.
• A clearer message when scanning is briefly unavailable.
