Pure Decode Skin reads the ingredients (INCI) list printed on cosmetics and skincare β€” no barcode needed β€” and tells you what you're really putting on your skin in seconds. Point your camera at any ingredients list and instantly get: - A sensitive-skin verdict β€” can you use it, should you buy it β€” with the specific irritants and allergens called out by name - Pregnancy flags β€” ingredients to be cautious about while pregnant or nursing - Halal-friendly check β€” alcohol and animal-derived ingredients highlighted - Pore-clogging (comedogenic) risk β€” see which ingredients tend to clog pores, plus an overall pore score - An A–F safety grade with per-ingredient detail My Shelf: - Save every product you scan, and we check your whole routine for conflicts β€” like layering retinol with an acid or vitamin C β€” something a barcode scanner can't do. Why Pure Decode Skin is different: - Reads the LABEL itself with AI β€” works in ANY language on K-beauty, J-beauty and imported packaging (Korean, Japanese, Chinese, Arabic & more), even products no barcode database has - Built for the real decision at the shelf: "can I use this / should I buy this," not just a number - Private by design: no account needed; we never collect your name, email, or location Free to start. Optional subscription for unlimited scanning, or pay-as-you-go top-ups β€” no subscription required. Pure Decode Skin is a guide, not medical or dermatological advice, and can make mistakes. Always double-check the label and consult a professional about allergies, pregnancy, or skin conditions. β€” Subscriptions: Monthly (US$4.99) or Annual (US$24.99) for unlimited scanning.
