Best skincare app

It’s great at telling you how good products are for YOUR skin and there’s a community of people helping each other out. It’s well fined tuned to you and not just fearmongering. Very scientific. You can learn a lot about the ingredients in your product and about your own skin and log routines. Helps break down the sea of misinformation and confusion, as a teen with skin issues and no derm. Unfortunately, quite a few features are behind a pay wall but this app has helped me so much even as a non premium user. I give it 5 as it couldn’t really get much better.Things like comparing products, finding dupes, and all sorts to do with actually targeting your own problem. The subscription isn’t the worst price when on its constant offer, with 20 yearly! Also can get a week free and get one month for just £4 on offer. I have like no money but I think it would be good to buy rather than waste money on products not for you. Developers are also super responsive and interactive, constantly taking feedback and changing this app for the better. AMAZING.

Mon avis

Très bien mais parle que anglais

Response from developer

Hello! We understand how helpful it would be to have SkinSort available in more languages. I've shared your request with our team so they can consider it for future updates.

iPad Support

Love this app! It’s the next best thing to managing my fungal acne, right after my derm. I’ve submitted so many products here, got so many information about different ingredients (and all scientific based, not the crazy “ITS CHEMICALS DONT USE” stuff like in the other apps), and also met amazing community 🥲

But please please please, add the iPad Support. I’ll continue to use the app on my phone, but for the iPad… Imma stick to the old good web version 😅

Poor

Useful for checking suitability of specific products, although it told me a face wash was 90% suitable and then changed that to 60% a week later. As a discovery tool it’s absolutely useless. Search functionality just doesn’t work. Search for La roche-posay…no products. Search for a specific La roche-posay product and it miraculously appears. Use filters to search for a moisturiser with spf…. no products, yet searching by exact name finds loads. Really shoddy stuff, made worse by the fact I did a week’s free trial because it said I would be notified before being billed for the year. Was I? No I wasn’t. Stuck with a £50 ineffective app now.

Hello! We'd really like to investigate what happened. Please reach out to us at hello@skinsort.com with the products you've noticed changes in and examples of the searches that aren't working as expected. We'll be happy to take a closer look and help however we can.

Trustworthy

I love how it have helped me take care of my skin better after knowing what works and doesn’t work for my skin. The kind of transparency that we lack everywhere now.

Update is really a downgrade

Before this update, every time you clicked on the coloured bar that showed the overall score of the product, you could also see a compatibility rating (excellent, good, neautral etc) for your skin type (I have combination). Not sure why this feature wasn’t kept consistently with all products.

Deleted My Review

So I recently made a review because I noticed that the Amazon product linked was a fake and recommended people to buy from the official store and in three minutes of me publishing the deleted so it feels like this company is making money through commission through their links and it’s not transparent with the customers/reviewers.

Skincare’s Best Friend

A wonderful community of skincare enthusiasts who support each other with advice and care. The app itself is great - informative about products and easy to navigate and log product use. Very helpful in creating and modifying a routine for face and body.

I am obsessed

The best app ever created

LOVE IT!!!

This app is so good, i can look at ingredients and it tells me about them in-depth. I’ve been trying to find something like this for a WHILE! Definitely recommend!!!!

Heart it

It’s beneficial. Enter your skin issues and what your skin goals are. It helps break down all ingredients you’re unfamiliar with to let you know if it’s a good match by percentage. I use it for products I already own and I’d say it’s pretty accurate on the results shown and love that it helps me know if it’s good on my skin type to get the results I want and for my skin issues and for skin goals on products I’m curious and want to purchase!

Worst app ever

The app asks to do a free trial when you open it up for the first time. Personally, I did not find this app useful so I deleted it but I forgot that it would charge me after the trial is over. I tried to get a refund through Apple as soon as I saw the charge but apparently this app is not eligible for refunds so now I’m stuck with a $60 charge on something that I will never use.

Decent app

I like the app overall. I wish it provided more insights based on the products you use. I also wish you could track when you open and finish products etc. but overall it is one of the better skin apps

Loved it at first!

I loved this app at first, so much so that I paid for a year’s subscription because it was so great! But suddenly today it was showing me a completely different rating for certain products that I know for a fact matched 100% for me and I haven’t changed anything in my profile. Now I can’t trust it which irritates me since I paid for it. 😑🤦🏻‍♀️

Changes in ratings

During my trial, I checked all my skin care products and made changes accordingly to your recommendations and purchased those products, after becoming a member I rescanned the new products only to see that their rating changed drastically and no longer recommended or has received a much lower rating than originally . My trust has been affected…

Skinsort- skincare scanner

This app helped me understand my skin and figure out what products I should be using and shouldn’t. This app is amazing if you want to find out what is best for your skin and not hurting it.

Does not show routine conflicts

I really really, really wanted to like this app, however it does not show conflicts between products in your routine as you choose what to apply every day. I prefer an active notification to let me know when I shouldn’t combine different products in the same routine. Incredibly disappointed.

Not accurate

At first I was really impressed with this app. Then I started comparing info listed for items with the manufacturer info and SkinSort has so much inaccurate info. Also not impressed with the recommendations for “dupes”.
