About

MySkinalysis

Features
Read full description

MySkinalysis is the AI-powered skincare app that analyses your skin zone by zone and builds a personalised routine that's actually yours. Forget generic advice and one-size-fits-all routines. MySkinalysis uses advanced AI to scan your face across 7 distinct zones — mapping exactly what's happening, where, and how severe. Then it builds you a complete AM and PM routine with products scored specifically for your skin profile, your budget, and your cycle. FACE SCAN & AI ANALYSIS Take a photo and our AI analyses your skin across 7 zones — forehead, T-zone, cheeks, under eyes, chin, and jawline. You get a full breakdown of every concern, its severity, and exactly how we'll treat it. YOUR PERSONALISED ROUTINE A complete morning and evening routine built around your scan results. Every product is scored 0–100 for ingredient suitability — a budget pick can outscore a luxury one, and we'll tell you why. PRODUCT SCANNER Scan or search any product you already own. We analyse the full ingredient list against your skin profile and flag every ingredient as Great, Caution, or Avoid — so you always know what you're putting on your skin. CYCLE-AWARE SKINCARE Your hormones affect your skin. MySkinalysis tracks your cycle phase and adjusts your recommendations to match — more soothing during your period, stronger actives during your follicular phase. MY KIT Log the products you actually use and we'll check them against your skin after every scan. Know what's working, what isn't, and what to swap out. Analyze. Personalize. Glow. Full skin analysis, personalised routine, cycle tracking, and product scanner require a Pro subscription (£4.99/month or £29.99/year). Terms of Use: https://myskinalysis.com/terms-of-use.html
