The design is really pleasant to use and the ingredient breakdowns feel trustworthy. I like how I can mark which ingredients to avoid, and it warns me when they show up.

Would love it even more if it showed where I can buy the recọmmended alternatives. ### 4/5 — Wish I found this sooner *2025-06-06, version 1.1* SkinBuddy helped me realise that some of my “holy grail” products were actually breaking me out.
