Step 1
Take a selfie
A clear face photo in steady lighting. No special hardware — your phone camera is the scanner.

AI Skin Analysis App and Free Face Scanner
SkinPal AI is a free AI skin analysis app that reads nine skin metrics from a single selfie — acne, texture, hydration, redness, tone, oiliness, dark spots, skin age, and skin type — and tracks how they change over time.
Use it to understand visible skin changes, compare daily progress, and build a skincare routine around your own skin data. SkinPal AI provides skincare tracking and education, not medical diagnosis.
What SkinPal AI Measures
One selfie is read across nine skin metrics. Each is scored, mapped zone by zone, and compared against your scan history.
Acne severity
Counts and grades visible breakouts so you can see flare-ups and clearing trends by zone.
Skin texture
Measures surface smoothness and unevenness, which changes before issues become obvious.
Hydration balance
Estimates visible dryness signals across zones — often the first metric to react to routine changes.
Redness
Tracks irritation and inflammation patterns, useful for spotting product reactions early.
Skin tone evenness
Maps tone uniformity over time, adapted across the full range of skin tones and melanin levels.
Oiliness level
Distinguishes T-zone shine from cheek dryness so combination skin gets zone-specific care.
Dark spots
Locates and tracks hyperpigmentation so you can verify whether spots are actually fading.
Skin age
An AI estimate of how your skin presents visually — a benchmark to track, not a verdict.
Skin type
Classifies dry, oily, combination, or normal from scan data instead of a questionnaire.
How the AI Skin Analysis Works
SkinPal AI uses computer vision trained across the full range of skin tones. A scan takes about five seconds from photo to report.
Step 2
Computer vision reads your skin
The model analyzes the photo across nine metrics, scoring each one for the forehead, cheeks, nose, and chin separately.
Step 3
Compared against your history
Today's scores are lined up against every previous scan, so the report shows direction — improving, stable, or slipping — not just a number.
Step 4
Routine guidance from the data
Trends feed your routine: every suggested step ties to a metric, and the app tracks whether your numbers actually move.
Every metric is mapped zone by zone — forehead, cheeks, nose, and chin — because combination skin rarely behaves the same way across the whole face. An oily T-zone and dry cheeks get different guidance, not one averaged score.
Built for Daily Skin Tracking
A single scan gives a snapshot. Repeated scans show what is changing, what is stable, and whether your skincare routine is moving in the right direction.
Track acne progress
Compare daily scans to see whether breakouts, redness, and problem zones are improving over time.
Measure routine results
Use trends instead of mirror guesswork to understand whether a cleanser, serum, or routine change is helping.
Understand face zones
Review T-zone, cheek, chin, and forehead differences so each area gets care that fits its needs.
Build a skincare plan
Get AI routine guidance based on your skin data, goals, and visible changes from repeated scans.
Skin Scanner, Not a Medical Diagnosis
SkinPal AI helps you track visible changes and understand skincare patterns. It can support better conversations with skincare professionals, but it does not diagnose disease, prescribe medication, or replace dermatology care.

AI Skin Analysis FAQ
What is AI skin analysis?
AI skin analysis uses computer vision to review a face photo and estimate visible skin metrics such as acne, texture, hydration, tone, oiliness, and spots. SkinPal AI is designed for daily tracking and skincare routine guidance, not medical diagnosis.
Is SkinPal AI a skin scanner app?
Yes. SkinPal AI works as a skin scanner app and face scanner app. You take a selfie, the app analyzes visible skin patterns, and your results are saved so you can track changes over time.
Can AI track acne progress?
SkinPal AI can help track visible acne progress by comparing repeated face scans and showing changes in breakout severity, location, and trend data. It should not replace a dermatologist for diagnosis or treatment.
Does SkinPal AI work on iPhone and Android?
Yes. SkinPal AI is available for iPhone and Android. The website also provides an overview of how the AI skin analysis experience works before downloading the app.
Is SkinPal AI free?
SkinPal AI is free to download and includes free daily skin analysis. Optional premium features may be available for advanced tracking and personalized insights.
How accurate is AI skin analysis?
SkinPal AI measures visible skin signals from photos, so consistency matters more than any single scan: similar lighting, angle, and time of day make trends reliable. The model is trained across the full range of skin tones and adapts to different melanin levels. For tracking change over time it is far more consistent than mirror judgment; for diagnosing a condition, see a dermatologist.
What happens to my face photos?
Photos are used to generate your skin analysis and your private scan history. They are encrypted, never shared with third parties, and only accessible through your account. If you delete your account, photos are permanently deleted. See the SkinPal AI privacy policy for full details.
