01The problem
An ingredient list is not a label.
Modern skincare lists are long, Latin, and deliberately opaque. “Clean” formulas hide aggressive surfactants. “Natural” ones are often the most pore-clogging of all — coconut oil, cocoa butter, shea esters.
If your skin is acne-prone, the information you need — which ingredient, which rating, which risk — is buried in a font size most people can’t read.

02How it works
Three movements,
one verdict.
The full pipeline — from camera to answer — runs on-device in the time it takes to blink. No uploads, no waiting.

Analyze
Each ingredient is cross-referenced against a curated library of pore-clogging and sensitising compounds.
- III
Know
A simple traffic-light verdict, plus the why: every flagged ingredient, its rating, what it does.
03The verdict
Three signals.
No ambiguity.
Every product gets a single, honest verdict — backed by the exact ingredients that earned it. Tap any line to read why.
