Best App for Skincare
Response from developer
Thank you so much for your kind words. We're really happy to hear the app is helping you save money and make more confident skincare choices - that's exactly what we hoped to create!
Broken features, subpar analysis
-attractive interface
-easy to use journal
-relatively robust product database
The bad:
-analysis is nonexistent. This will NOT help you figure out if xyz product helped your skin. Journal and routines are completely separate, and if you want to see what you were using at a particular time when your skin was clearer, manually swiping through all your days is the only option.
-adding new products and steps is a HUGE hassle and can’t be done in one step
-expiration/product tracking not tied to skincare routines
-can’t move routines between days if step/routine was missed
The ugly:
-the advanced repeat option is completely broken. Every time I set a new product to be introduced into my routine (for example) every four days for 2 weeks, then every 3 days for 2 weeks, then every 2 for 2 weeks, before finally switching to every day. Every single time the product shows up EVERY DAY. I’d be better off using ChatGPT or a calendar/spreadsheet.
-the product scores are useless in guiding whether an item can fit into your routine or whether it is contraindicated by something else you’re using. At best they go “hmm yeah you said your skin is dry and this is supposed to be a hydrator so…yay good!”

Hi, thank you so much for such detailed feedback - we really appreciate it, as it’s quite actionable. We’re taking notes, especially since in the near future we plan to analyse all those data points in the app for just that: a more “interlinked” analysis of everything you track as a whole. Regarding step repetitions when gradually introducing a new product, we can’t seem to reproduce the error. Just to make sure, when you edit the routine and add multiple repetitions to a step, “Start calculation from:” should be set to “Edit date (today),” so the desired pattern is calculated from the day you edit the routine. If that’s already the case, please email us your steps or some screenshots - we’d love to investigate and reproduce it! By the way, we’re currently doing a few user interviews to better understand how the app is used and what is lacking. We’d love to talk with you as part of it! If you’d be open to a call, please email me at contact@feelinmyskin.com, and we can set it up - or you can just email us the routine error you’re experiencing.
Almost perfect
My one negative with this app is that if you miss a step one day, it doesn’t show up again the following day. I would love to be able to roll steps into the next day if they’re forgotten so that I can use it the following day and not mess up the whole routine. There is a way to redo your routine so that the product falls on the correct day, but it’s a lot of work.
Overall though, I would continue to pay for the app. It’s been instrumental in helping me stay consistent with skincare, haircare, and supplements.

Hi! Thank you so much for the detailed review and for supporting our work! Moving a step to the next day is actually a feature we plan to add in the future. It just requires a bit of customization so it doesn't conflict with the next day's planned routine (e.g., if a missed step is an exfoliant, and the next day you already have one, you don't end up having both of them in the same day). We definitely need this feature, so thank you for mentioning it - it really helps us prioritize! :) Don’t hesitate to reach out at contact@feelinmyskin.com if there’s anything else!
