Sage has been watching your skin. Now she's ready to tell you what she found. Whether you're managing eczema, acne, or just want a routine that finally gives you glowing skin — Sage learns what helps and what doesn't, specifically for you. SkinScholar is a personal skin companion built by someone with eczema and acne — for people who have them too, and for anyone who wants healthier skin through a routine that's actually personalised. Not generic skincare advice. Your skin. Your patterns. Your routine. SAGE, YOUR SKIN SCHOLAR Sage is an AI companion who reads every log, analyses every flare, and spots combinations you'd never notice yourself. Ask her anything. She remembers everything you've logged. YOUR SKIN DNA SkinScholar builds your personal Skin DNA — your top trigger, safest ingredients, highest risk day, and what actually makes your skin glow. Nobody else has this data about your skin. 30-SECOND DAILY CHECK-IN Five Sage expressions — Flaring, Irritated, Neutral, Calm, Clear. Tap how your skin feels. Adjust sleep and stress. Check off your routine. Every check-in produces a Skin Score showing how your skin did that day. BUILD A ROUTINE THAT WORKS Set up your morning and evening skincare routine inside SkinScholar. Check items off daily. Track your routine streak. Sage connects your consistency to your skin score — so you see exactly what's working and what to keep doing. TRACK FLARES PROPERLY Log every flare with severity, location and treatment. Sage analyses each one and tells you what caused it — based on your personal data, not a generic trigger list. INGREDIENT SCANNER Point your camera at any ingredient label. Sage flags everything risky for your skin and highlights what's beneficial. Never accidentally pick a product that breaks you out again. SCAN YOUR SKIN Point the camera at your skin. Sage analyses redness, texture, pigmentation and dryness — and compares to your photo history over time. Watch your glow progress. DERMATOLOGIST REPORT One tap generates a clinical summary of your entire skin history — flare table, trigger analysis, treatment effectiveness and personalised questions for your appointment. FREE TO USE Daily logs, flare tracking, Skin DNA, full trend history, ingredient scanning, photo log, routine tracking and Sage chat are completely free forever. Sage Premium adds dermatologist PDF download, flare prediction alerts, unlimited Sage conversations, weekly skin summaries and post-log insights. Try free for 7 days. IMPORTANT SkinScholar is a personal tracking tool — not a medical application. Nothing here constitutes medical advice, diagnosis or treatment. Always consult a qualified dermatologist for medical concerns. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
