Know your skin. Love your skin. Every day.
Give your skin a minute each morning. Three close-up photos of your forehead, cheek and nose show how it's doing today, how it compares with people your age, and which products will help it look its best. Your photos stay on your phone.

Your minute each day
All you need is your phone and good light. No appointment, and no account.
- Let the app guide you
In guided mode the app reads each step out loud and counts down before every photo, so you can hold the phone to your skin without looking at the screen. You can turn the voice off, make the countdown longer, or take the photos yourself in manual mode.
- Take three photos
Forehead, cheek and nose. The app tells you how far to hold the phone, and that depends on your camera: about 1 to 2 inches on iPhones with an ultra-wide lens, and about 6 inches on models without one, such as the iPhone 16e.
- See how your skin is doing
Six scores, each next to the average for your age group and gender, plus your skin type and an estimated skin age. Every scan is saved in History, so you can look back at earlier days.
- Care for what needs it most
A short list of products for the two things your skin needs most, starting with premium picks, plus a sunscreen for your skin type. The links open Amazon in your browser. Nothing is sold inside the app.
Get to know your skin
Skinovance looks at six things: moisture, oil, pores, tone, fine lines and redness. Every score runs from 0 to 100, and a higher number means more of a concern. A moisture score of 91 means very dry skin. Under 30 is marked Good, 30 to 69 Caution, and 70 or more Warning.
| Score | What it looks at | This scan | Average | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Moisture | Dryness and flaking | 91 | 70 | Warning |
| Sebum | Oil and shine | 88 | 32 | Warning |
| Pores | How large and visible they are | 52 | 45 | Caution |
| Pigmentation | Uneven tone and spots | 40 | 44 | Caution |
| Sensitivity | Redness and irritation | 18 | 37 | Good |
| Wrinkles | Fine lines and creases | 8 | 48 | Good |
For this person, the app would suggest products for dryness and oil first. Tap any score in the app to see the photos it came from, with the pores, spots, lines or shine it found marked on top. There are also false-colour views for redness, texture and pigmentation.

Your photos stay on your phone
Your skin is personal, so the analysis runs on the phone itself. Your photos, scores and history are stored only inside the app, and you don't need an account to scan.
An account is only for sending us a question about a result through Report an issue. That report is the only thing the app ever uploads, and you write and send it yourself. You can delete the account, and every report sent with it, from inside the app.

Common questions
- How often should I scan?
- As often as you like. A quick scan each morning, in the same light, gives you results you can compare from day to day in History.
- Are my photos uploaded?
- No. They are analysed on your phone and kept there. Photos only leave the phone if you send an issue report, and only the photos from that one scan.
- Do I need an account?
- No. Scanning, results and history all work without one. You only need an account to send an issue report, so we have somewhere to reply.
- Why are my photos blurry?
- Usually the phone is too close. Hold it at the distance shown on the capture screen rather than as close as you can.
- How are the products chosen?
- They match your two highest scores, plus a sunscreen for your skin type. They open on Amazon. As an Amazon Associate, Skinovance earns from qualifying purchases.
- Is this a medical diagnosis?
- No. Skinovance is for cosmetic guidance only. If something on your skin worries you, see a doctor or dermatologist.
