### 3/5 — So far it’s ok

*2025-05-14*

I’ll update if my rating changes for the better but so far it’s ok

### 2/5 — Хочу удалить!

*2025-03-18*

Не хочу в первые же минуты оформлять подписку, а без нее очень мало информации по составу средств.
Удалить аккаунт - тот ещё квест! 
Как это сделать?

### 5/5 — в этом приложении есть всё

*2025-01-12*

куча функций, возможность добавлять рутины, виджеты✨ СУПЕР приятный дизайн.. что еще надо для счастья? годовая подписка за 700 рублей. что? так дешево?? да. это идеальное приложение, кланяюсь в ноги создательницам🙏🩷

### 5/5 — Love it

*2025-01-09, version 3.2*

I really like how you don’t HAVE TO PAY and it helped me how to get good products and make an fantastic routine thank you still a

### 3/5 — Good and bad!

*2024-12-29*

It’s a good app to see what’s in it but for teens they really don’t know what their allergic to so it’s hard for it to work and also you have to pay to see a lot of ingredients

### 3/5 — Things to improve on.

*2024-12-15*

I usually never write reviews but I think this app is such a great idea and can really improve with some changes! 
For background- I got this app and payed so i could see what products i can use and avoid for my acne. While this product showed a list of ingredients i had to go in and look if each one would cause or effect my acne :(

The Goods
- Easy to use
- Sale on year buy!
- Wide range of products
- Easy to read
- You can track your items
- You can track certain ingredients 
- The routine tracker is so cool

The Bad
- It’s a but overpriced in my opinion like most apps these days. i feel like 2.99 a month would be fine. or even do what yuka did and just have a donate to use!
- It can be hard to understand why products are bad or if they are bad.
-Not enough info on ingredients and if they are good or bad for skin.
- No explanations for ingredients and what they are and why they are good/bad/or neutral
- I feel like the subscription should just allow you to track certain ingredients but instead just unlock the routine, information on ingredients, and a way to see if they are bad or good for ur skin type.

Improvements that can be made!
- Add a skin scanner like other apps to see what your skin type and problems are!
- Do a more extensive skin survey at the beginning asking about certain allergies, sensitivities, have a list of skin conditions to chose from. 
- Have a list of skin problems that you would like to help/track ranging from all the different types of acne to things like aging, rosacea, hyperpigmentation, under eye, etc. 
- Have a before and after option to track skin progress.
- Add information backgrounds on chemicals and why they are harmful.
- Add a simple yes, maybe, or no on products for each persons skin that matches what they put in the  survey.
- Have a way to see if you can mix certain ingredients.
- Add warnings to some products of ingredient like “may cause acne”, “may cause reddness”, “may cause purging”, “may cause pillling” etc. 
-Add a rating on each ingredient if it’s good bad or neutral. 
-Make the design more minimal and simple, the cover isn’t very appealing and could deter users, Instead of blue text and blue background stick with something more minimal like a black text on a plain white or beige background, with a more identifiable logo and not just what people think is a blob.

All these improvements may be hard to make but i feel will take this app to the next level and really kick everything else out of the park.

### 5/5 — Love it soo much

*2024-12-05*

It’s really good you don’t need to pay for anything and you can find almost all of your skin care products.

### 4/5 — Good

*2024-12-03, version 3.2*

It’s really good but half of my skincare isn’t on there but definitely worth it

### 3/5 — Stilla

*2024-11-14, version 3.2*

The app is ok, but you have to pay for so much information

### 5/5 — Great

*2024-11-07, version 3.2*

Great for young kids

### 5/5 — Recommendations

*2024-10-13*

This app helped me figure out which products were breaking me out and which products I should try instead. 10/10 recommend!

### 2/5 — Too hard to use

*2024-07-18*

I am not a techie. This app was recommended for me by Peninsula Allergy Clinic. I cant do it. It is too difficult. I think i was successful only twice in scanning a barcode.

### 1/5 — Everything costs money

*2025-12-26, version 3.3*

It’s just another scummy app that only wants your money , can’t even save my products without needing pro ultra plus plus

### 1/5 — Worst update ever

*2025-09-18, version 3.3*

It used to be free and unlimited to use, but due to updates, it is now very limited for everyone and heavily pay-to-win. Therefore, I actually dislike this app a lot.

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2025-08-21, version 3.2*

And it wants to charge you

### 1/5 — Subscription

*2025-07-05, version 3.2*

I don’t want to pay but I can’t see all of the notes

### 1/5 — штрих код

*2025-01-15*

не знаю в чем проблема, не могу сканировать продукт, пишет, что нужно разрешить в настройках, при том, что уже разрешено, и ничего не помогает😞

### 1/5 — PLEASE DONT BUY. It’s doesn’t even know what bubble is!!!!!

*2024-10-15*

It’s not great just because you have to be like a genius to know how to use this app. It’s super hard and confusing and very inconvenient. If you just wanna see if your products are good or bad. it’s just all super confusing, and not very helpful. You kinda just already need to know, if some stuff is good or bad. And if you don’t pay for premium, it blocks something’s, that COULD be really important. I would not suggest paying for premium. It’s a waste of your money, and a lot of your money, and it’s just not worth it. It’s super hard to even explain how hard of a time I had figuring this out and now I’m deleting this app just because I don’t even know how to use it. If you want to know how to use it I would suggest going to beauty school, just to know how to use this app. i’m definitely deleting this app and will never use it again. It couldn’t even find my bubble skincare. And bubble is well-known so how do they not even know what bubble is. would not, suggest please don’t buy, find a different app, run while you still have the chance, and please don’t pay any money to this app.

### 1/5 — $$$

*2024-08-18, version 3.1.7*

Can’t even try it out without paying money.

### 1/5 — .

*2024-04-25*

очень сильно лагает и неточный анализ

### 1/5 — I don’t like the paying for it

*2024-03-20, version 3.1.3*

This is unacceptable

### 1/5 — Было лучше

*2023-09-25*

Приложение становится все более запутанным. Убрали возможность анализировать просто по вставленным текстом спискам ингредиентов

### 5/5 — The best app

*2026-03-11*

Whoever made this app, I love it and I love you who made this app I love everything about this app. It is my favorite and it is the best app I ever had even though I don’t have this stuff on Stella I can still. and I love it and it is the best app

### 5/5 — I love this app

*2026-02-01*

I wish they had more selection of products but loveeeee

### 5/5 — Incredible concept, but the database is a major letdown

*2026-01-24*

I truly love the vision behind this app—the Siri integration and the ability to customize routines for "barrier repair weeks" vs. "light days" is exactly what a skincare enthusiast needs. However, the execution currently falls short for the price point.
Despite using well-known brands like Elemis (Pro-Collagen Balm) and MAC (Cleanse Off Oil), the scanner didn’t recognize a single item I own. As someone who practices K-beauty, my routine involves quite a few steps; having to manually input every single product is a massive barrier to actually using the app.
It feels like the database relies too heavily on user submissions rather than proactive updates by the team. I’m giving this 5 stars because I want to support the concept and hope the devs see this, but for a paid app that’s been around this long, the product bank needs to be much more robust. I’d love to actually use those Siri commands once the database catches up!

### 5/5 — Kelly bae

### 5/5 — Great app!!!

*2025-11-01*

I really love this ! Should have one for make up also , I didn't pay to much attention to the outside of my body like my skin I have used dove soap for years (bar soap) but theirs so much out their  that we can use not just Hollywood , only takes a few seco D's for life changing results ! To be able to track what's in our products is a great tool to have

### 5/5 — Please Update! OBSESSED

*2025-06-25*

I recently discovered this app and I am in love! It's very helpful and breaking down the ingredient list. I have noticed that while there are many products in the database, there's a lot of products missing. You can submit some though! I think there's definitely room for improvement but this can be even bigger with this Skincare snd wellness wave. I really hope this isn't a forgotten project and that developers keep tweaking and adding products. Truly incredible. I love the interface and how sleek and aesthetic everything looks. Kudos!

### 5/5 — Beautiful app!

*2025-05-22, version 3.2*

Easy to use and love the UI!

### 5/5 — Perfect except it needs more products!

*2025-03-15*

Giving 5 stars still because I really love the layout, the straightforward breakdown of what each products actually has to offer, you can look into which ingredients apply to specific concerns you have, and the effectiveness of the product in different areas (anti-aging, acne, dryness, texture, etc). It absolutely has the best bullet pointed explanation and that’s not difficult to navigate. I only wish they had more products in their system because a number of products I have aren’t listed, and they aren’t even uncommon ones either. The customized routine is helpful but I also wish it was able to suggest which products/ingredients to avoid using at the same time, and which to use together, and recommended frequency of use. I still stand by the 5 star rating because I’ve yet to find an app as clear and helpful as this one, and the subscription was surprisingly cheap for the entire year (I’ll save far more from avoiding spending money on products that don’t work), and I never pay for subscriptions! This app would instantly become the top app in its category if it had more products in its system!

### 5/5 — Good

*2025-03-13, version 3.2*

Good

### 5/5 — Love this app so much

*2025-02-21*

I’m passionate about understanding the beauty products I use. It began with my quest for a sunscreen with advanced UV filters, but now I run everything through this app before purchasing.
