Why Use SkinBuddy?

  • Scan Skincare Products

    Scan Any Product Instantly

    Easily scan skincare and makeup products with SkinBuddy to get a full view of ingredients, potential skin triggers, and formula details. Our product breakdown helps you understand how a formula may affect your skin concerns before you buy.

    Video demo: scanning a skincare product to identify it from a database, match it to your profile, and analyze its ingredients with a detailed breakdown of skin compatibility, potential triggers, and effects on specific concerns like acne, sensitivity, and clogged pores.

  • Uncover Ingredient Concentrations

    The SkinBuddy app highlights when key ingredients appear in low concentration, helping you understand what is more likely driving a formula. That matters because ingredients in very small amounts may affect results differently.

    Video demo: analyzing a product’s ingredient list and concentration levels to identify key active ingredients, highlight low concentration components, and evaluate their impact on skin concerns such as acne, sensitivity, and barrier damage, including classifications for comedogenicity, irritation, allergenicity, and overall formula safety.
