## What is Patch?

Patch shows you what's really in your skincare and makeup. It also helps you work out what's behind your breakouts. Free for everyone, always.

CHECK ANY PRODUCT
• Search a product and see its ingredients explained in plain language
• Pore-clogging ingredients flagged, with how strong the evidence really is
• Possible irritants, fragrance and essential oils called out
• Fungal acne triggers, if you flag fungal acne
• Rinse-off products judged differently from leave-on ones

FIND WHAT'S BEHIND YOUR BREAKOUTS
• Tick off your AM and PM routine each day
• Log how your skin looks in one tap
• After two weeks, Patch spots patterns, like breakouts that follow one product
• See your last four weeks on a simple calendar, with possible reasons explained

CHECK YOUR ROUTINE
• See which products clash when you layer them, like retinol with acids
• Learn which "rules" are myths you can ignore
• Get an evening reminder for your PM routine, if you want one

YOUR SKIN DIARY
• Log products as worked, didn't work or unclear
• See ingredients your problem products have in common
• Share your diary as a PDF with your dermatologist

FREE AND PRIVATE
• Every feature is free: no subscriptions, trials or paywalls
• No ads and no ad tracking
• You get an anonymous username, never your real name

HELP SHAPE PATCH
• Suggest features, report bugs and ask for products on the Patch feedback board
• Vote for what you want next
