Amazing process if you’re serious about recovering from something like dermatillomania. Highly, highly recommend. It’s like any sort of therapy, you have to put in the effort and your therapist will return that effort. Made me realize a lot of my habits and caused behind my picking when I originally thought it was just a nervous habit. Provides community, consistent support, and lots of strategy to help. Before I started, I didn’t tell anyone about my struggles for a good 8 years. Now, after only a month of therapy, I’ve opened up to family, friends, and feel much less ashamed. It takes time, but 100% worth it.

No Free Options

This app is seriously a slap in the face. I’m disabled and make less than $1500/month and even after applying for ‘financial aid’ they still wanted to charge me $51 A WEEK to access literally any of their program! It’s incredibly dishonest that this app does not disclose in the App Store like other apps that in-app purchases are required. Since it does not say that I feel I was misled into thinking it was free and wasted several minutes creating an account. Immoral in every conceivable way, and incredibly disappointing to someone struggling and really needing help and structure. If I could give zero stars I would.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're truly sorry to hear about your experience and understand how disappointing it must have felt, especially when you were looking for support. While our therapist-supported program is a paid service, we do offer a range of free tools and resources that may still be helpful. If you're willing, please email us at support@skinpick.com with the email address associated with your account, and we'll be happy to take a look and provide you with access to those resources. Furthermore, if any individual lets us know that finances are a concern, we do our best to find suitable options. You can also email us letting us know and we can share some of our alternative support options.

disappointed that this app has to be so expensive when it is coming down to mental issues.

Just what I needed

A brilliant starting point for me to learn about skin picking, my relationship to it and why I do it. I learned that I am not alone. I am not the only one who has the urges to pick.
I received lots of tools for learning to come to peace and possibly reduce my picking.
My therapist was brilliantly supportive. I felt heard.
A bit costly for long term membership. More frequent support groups are needed.

Thank you so much for your feedback- it truly means so much to us. In the future, if you do decide to rejoin us, and finances are a concern, please do reach out to us at support@skinpick.com as there are a few possible alternative solutions. Wishing you all the best!

Amazing app/program - poor therapist follows through

Update: after giving my App Store review my therapist stopped chatting with me. Before she would ask me questions to stay engaged but eventually she only gave responses like “great” and then radio silence. I would have kept my subscription if she didn’t ghost me. I’d recommend the free content without a therapist.

Original: I think the program is very organized with a ton of resources, support and science backed therapy. My therapist is amazing and is a great asset in keeping me motivated and helping me learn to cope with my picking.
