Ceres reads your skin from a photo and gives you a routine that responds to what it's actually showing. Not a generic checklist. The specific products that fit your barrier, your texture, your tone, and the stage you're in. Upload a partial face photo (cropped to leave out your eyes and forehead for privacy). Select your age range. Ceres analyzes barrier moisture, surface texture, pigment, redness, pore visibility, and luminosity, then builds an AM/PM routine around what it finds. Every recommendation traces back to something your skin is actually showing. What's in a reading: • A warm greeting describing only what's visible in your photo • Three to five concerns named in plain words, with the biology behind each • An AM and PM routine matched to your concerns • Named product recommendations at three price points • What to watch out for, and what already in your routine handles it • A seasonal skin forecast that adjusts your routine as the climate shifts (weekly plan) What makes Ceres different: Most skincare advice assumes everyone needs the same thing. Ceres reads YOUR skin, this week. The reading at 32 is framed differently than the reading at 52. Summer differs from winter. Your routine is the routine for the skin you have today. Privacy: Your photos are sent securely for analysis and never used to train models. Photos are auto-deleted from the AI provider within 30 days. A small thumbnail saves to your account so past readings are recognizable; you can delete anytime. Plans: • Free — one reading to see what Ceres does • Monthly $3.99 — one reading per month, full results, saved history • Weekly $7.99 — one reading every seven days, seasonal forecast, all product tiers, comparisons across time Ceres is not a substitute for medical advice. For medical concerns, see a dermatologist. Terms of Use: https://meetceres.health/terms By Kindling Health LLC.
