Pibu is your cosmetic skincare companion. Take a selfie and Pibu reads what is visible, oiliness, redness, hydration look, and texture, then builds you a morning and evening routine that fits your goals, your budget, and the time you actually have. Track your skin score over time, see what changed since your last scan, and keep a private, on-device photo history if you want one. Your photos are never stored on our servers, they are read once to build your routine, then discarded. What is inside: • A cosmetic skin scan powered by AI, oiliness, redness, hydration look, and texture, explained in plain language, never medical jargon. • A personalized routine that adapts as your skin changes. • A skin score and trend line, so progress is something you can actually see. • Ask Pibu, a friendly AI companion for quick skincare questions. • Shareable progress cards for the moments that feel worth celebrating. • A gentle, private space.
