Is it right for your skin?

Photograph any skincare product. Skinventry tells you what in it is made for your skin, what to watch, and whether it clashes with what you already use. Every line links to its source.

Two free searches and your first face map. Pro yearly starts with a free week.

The Skinventry app on Tatcha The Dewy Skin Cream for dry skin: three ingredients made for what you're working on, each with its source.

Every line comes from a public source:

  • The brand’s published ingredient list
  • US Food and Drug Administration
  • DailyMed, National Library of Medicine
  • American Academy of Dermatology
  • DermNet
  • National Eczema Association
  • PubMed research

Real screens from the app. Every line is what Skinventry shows for the brand’s published ingredient list.

Inside the app.

Photograph a product and see what it does for your skin. Your shelf checked together, tonight’s routine in order, and Skin AI for everything else, with the sources it used.

Start with what’s already on your shelf.

The bottles you already own. Photograph one, front or back, and see what it does for your skin.

Results shown for a person who told Skinventry about their skin. Yours follow your skin type, what you’re working on and the actives you use.

Twenty seconds to set up. Then every product is checked for you.

  1. 1

    Tell it about your skin

    Your skin type, what you’re working on (breakouts, blackheads, redness, dark spots, fine lines, dryness, bumpy skin, razor bumps) and the actives you already use, like tretinoin or an exfoliating acid. It stays on your phone.

  2. 2

    Photograph the product

    The front, or flip it over and shoot the ingredient list for a check in seconds. No barcode needed. In the aisle or at home.

  3. 3

    See what it means for you

    What in it is made for your concerns, what your skin tends to react to, and what clashes with your routine. Each line names the ingredient and links to its source.

Skin AI answering what the small bumps on the forehead are and what on the shelf helps, with five numbered sources from PubMed Central and DermNet under the answer.

New: Skin AI and the face map

Map your face. Ask anything.

One photo of your face, read zone by zone and up close: forehead, nose, under each eye, each cheek, around the mouth and chin, and the jaw. Every finding is marked on your photo and linked to dermatology sources. Then ask Skin AI anything about your skin. It knows your shelf and your routine, and every answer shows the sources it used.

  • Each zone read at full resolution, with a count where things can be counted.
  • Every answer cites the research it used: the American Academy of Dermatology, drug labels, PubMed and Skinventry’s own articles.
  • It can lay out a routine from what you own, one tap to use.
  • Your photos and conversations stay on your phone. It isn’t a doctor, and it never reads moles or changes a medicine.
Drunk Elephant T.L.C. Framboos checked for someone on tretinoin: one clash with their routine.

With what you use

Catch the clash before you buy.

Tell it you’re on tretinoin and an exfoliating acid gets flagged, with the dermatology source. Benzoyl peroxide with tretinoin, hydroquinone with benzoyl peroxide, and the pairings dermatologists combine on purpose.

A shelf with Drunk Elephant A-Passioni and T.L.C. Framboos, Glow Recipe Dew Drops, Glossier Milky Jelly and Tatcha, checked together: one clash, one doubled up, no sunscreen.

My shelf

Your whole shelf, checked together.

Tap I own this, or photograph the whole shelf at once. Skinventry finds the products that clash, the actives you own twice, a routine that makes skin sun sensitive with nothing to protect it, and the concerns nothing on your shelf is made for.

Your routine: tonight is retinoid night with Glossier Milky Jelly Cleanser, Drunk Elephant A-Passioni Retinol Cream, Glow Recipe Dew Drops and Tatcha The Dewy Skin Cream, in order.

Your routine

Tonight’s routine, built from your shelf.

Every morning and every night, in order. Retinoid nights and exfoliating nights never fall together, benzoyl peroxide moves to the morning, and sunscreen closes every morning.

  • The four night skin cycle: an exfoliating night, a retinoid night, two recovery nights.
  • Tick off each night to build a streak. One missed night a week doesn’t break it.
  • A weekly skin check in. Report irritation and tonight becomes a recovery night.
  • A reminder at 9 pm that never names a product on your lock screen.
Glow Recipe Watermelon Glow Niacinamide Dew Drops checked for sensitive skin with redness: fragrance to watch.

Worth a look for your skin

Know what to skip.

Rosacea, sensitive or acne prone skin each have their usual suspects: fragrance, menthol, drying alcohol, scrubs, rich butters. Skinventry points them out on the list, and never calls anything safe.

Every line has a source.

Each rule was written from a dermatology or government page that was opened and read, and it says no more than the page does.

  • IndependentAmerican Academy of Dermatology
  • GovernmentUS Food and Drug Administration
  • GovernmentDailyMed drug labels
  • IndependentNational Eczema Association
  • IndependentDermNet
  • IndependentDermatology Times

No scores. No grades, no badges. Just what’s on the list and what it means for you.

Never “safe.” With no ingredient list, it says it couldn’t check. It never fills the gap.

Who makes it. Scroll down any product for the company behind the brand and the recalls and regulator actions on record.

Questions

How does it know what’s right for my skin?

You tell it once: your skin type, what you’re working on and the actives you already use. Every product’s published ingredient list, or your photo of the label, is then read against that on your phone, using rules written from the American Academy of Dermatology, the FDA, DailyMed drug labels, the National Eczema Association, DermNet and Dermatology Times.

What is Skin AI?

Skinventry’s assistant, powered by Claude from Anthropic. Ask what to use tonight, whether a product suits you, what a spot on your face map is likely to be, or what the research says. It knows your skin profile, your shelf, your routine and your face maps, and every answer shows numbered sources you can open. It isn’t a doctor, it doesn’t diagnose, and it never tells you to start, stop or change a medicine.

How does the face map work?

Take one photo of your face in even light. Your iPhone finds your face and crops nine zones at full resolution, and Skin AI marks every finding on your photo: breakouts, closed bumps, blackheads, dark marks, redness, dryness, texture and fine lines, each linked to dermatology sources and to what on your shelf is made for it. It doesn’t read moles. Take one each week and compare zone by zone. The method and the research behind it are in the app, under How Skin AI works.

Will it tell me a product is safe?

No. It tells you what in a product is made for your concerns, what your skin type tends to react to and what clashes with your routine, each with its source. If no ingredient list is published, it says it couldn’t check. It is general information about ingredients, not medical advice.

Can it check a product against my tretinoin?

Yes. Add the actives you use, like tretinoin, retinol, benzoyl peroxide, exfoliating acids, vitamin C or hydroquinone, and every product is checked for clashes with them, and for pairings dermatologists combine on purpose.

What is Your routine?

With Pro, Skinventry lays your shelf out as every morning and every night, in order. Actives follow the four night skin cycle, so a retinoid and an exfoliating acid never land on the same night. Tick off each night to build a streak, and a weekly check in adds a recovery night when your skin is irritated. If a dermatologist prescribed your retinoid, follow their schedule.

Do I need a barcode?

No. Photograph the front, or the ingredient list on the back for a check in seconds. You can also look up any product by name.

Can it flag my allergies?

It can flag what you ask it to look for, like fragrance, essential oils, parabens or tree nuts, when they appear on the published ingredient list or label, and it names the match and the source. Always check the package.

How much is Pro?

$77.99 a year, starting with a free week, or $9.99 a month, or $4.99 a week. Cancel anytime in your App Store settings. Your first two searches, your first face map and five Skin AI messages are free.

What happens to my photos?

Your photos stay on your phone, and so do your skin profile and your flags. To identify a product, a smaller copy of the photo goes through Skinventry’s server to its AI provider, and Skinventry keeps no copy. You make a profile with your first name and email, and Skinventry saves what you search with it. Turning it off deletes it. Face maps and Skin AI conversations stay on your phone too; to answer, your photo or message goes to Anthropic, which deletes it within 30 days. The privacy policy and the consumer health data policy have the details.
