ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Skincare Routine holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Skincare Routine has 609 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Hello Meds's written reviews are positive against 81% of Skincare Routine's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Hello Meds ships an update monthly, Skincare Routine every 4 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 21, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
