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

Download an AI Skin Analysis App
SkinPal AI is a skin-tracking app and AI face analyzer that reads 8 visible skin metrics from a single selfie — acne, texture, hydration, redness, skin tone (with dark spots), oiliness, 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 is a cosmetic skincare tracking and education tool. It is not a medical device and does not diagnose, predict, prevent, or treat skin conditions.
Free to download and includes one free skin scan. An auto-renewing subscription is required for additional scans and continued access to subscription features. Current prices and eligible introductory offers are shown before purchase and can vary by platform and region.

What SkinPal AI Measures
One selfie is read across 8 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 visible tone uniformity, including dark spots, so you can compare changes over time.
Oiliness level
Distinguishes T-zone shine from cheek dryness so combination skin gets zone-specific care.
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 to estimate visible skin signals from a face photo and compare results across consistent scans.
Step 2
Computer vision reads your skin
The model analyzes the photo across eight 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
Use it as an acne scanner: 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.
Is SkinPal AI an acne scanner or a face analyzer?
Both. As an acne scanner it tracks visible breakout severity, location, and trend over repeated scans; as an AI face analyzer it estimates eight visible metrics zone by zone across your face. It is a cosmetic skincare tracking tool, not a medical device, and does not diagnose skin conditions.
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?
Free to download and includes one free skin scan. An auto-renewing subscription is required for additional scans and continued access to subscription features. Current prices and eligible introductory offers are shown before purchase and can vary by platform and region.
How accurate is AI skin analysis?
SkinPal AI estimates visible skin signals from photos. Similar lighting, angle, camera quality, and time of day make repeated scans more comparable, but results can vary and should not be used to diagnose a condition. For medical concerns, consult a qualified healthcare professional.
