Skin analysis

A report you can act on.

Take a selfie to explore your skin concerns. AI analyses your photo and builds a personalised plan around your existing products, allergies, and budget. Your report offers observations and practical guidance, not a medical diagnosis.

  • Visual skin analysis with explanations and next steps
  • Insights across facial zones, from forehead to jawline
  • A personalised morning and evening routine with product prices
  • Ingredients to look for or avoid, with realistic 12‑week expectations
Get your report

Buy smarter

The right product, at the lowest price.

The cheapest product is the one you didn't need; the next cheapest is the same thing from the seller who lists it for less. A quick check before you buy tells you both.

  • 1check

    One check before you buy

    What you avoid, your budget, what's already on your shelf, and what your routine already does, in one card.

  • ₹every seller

    The lowest price, found

    The same product at every seller we compare, linked by barcode, name, size and ingredients, lowest price first.

  • =same actives

    Cheaper twins

    Products from other brands for the same need with the same actives, compared per 100 ml.

  • ↓price watch

    Drops come to you

    Your wishlist is watched for price drops and restocks, so you buy when it's lower.

Savings are counted, never estimated: from purchases you record, against the highest price for the same product at another seller, or the product you passed over. Check the seller's page before you pay; buying stays your decision.

Most skincare advice ends at buy more. We help you buy less, use what you have well, and see how your skin responds.

  1. 01A check before every buyYour records, every seller's price and cheaper products with the same actives, in one card.
  2. 02Your allergies, checked everywhereTell it once what your skin reacts to: it's never recommended, and anything that matches asks before it's added.
  3. 03A routine in the right orderLayering order, every day, alternate days or once a week, with clashes kept apart.
  4. 04Answers with their sourcesSage marks where every point comes from, and says what isn't known.

What it does

Check. Choose. Use. Remember.

One loop, from the product you're about to buy to what you use each day, so every choice builds on the last.

  1. 01 · Before you buy

    Check before you buy.

    Search by name or scan a barcode to check a product against your avoid list, see if you already own something similar, and compare it with your routine and budget.

    • Check your avoid list first
    • Compare alternatives with similar active ingredients
    • Add purchases to your shelf and track potential savings
    The check on a moisturiser: nothing in the records against it, the lowest price on Tira at ₹73 less than the highest listing, the same product on Nykaa, and three cheaper moisturisers with the same actives

  2. 02 · Allergies & sensitivities

    Tell us once. Check everywhere.

    Record ingredients, products, or brands your skin reacts to. We'll flag potential matches across recommendations, your wishlist, Discover, and your routine, so you can make more informed choices.

    • Potential matches are flagged, never silently added
    • Find possible triggers while accounting for products you already tolerate
    • If a label can't be verified, we'll say so, not call it safe
    What may be behind it: for a serum recorded as irritating the skin, the ingredients it lists that aren't in anything used without trouble, with fragrance marked most likely, eleven more it lists folded away, and one tap to record it or the brand
    On another product's page: worth a look, it shares Fragrance (Parfum) with the serum recorded as irritating the skin

  3. 03 · Recommended for you

    Buy less. Know why.

    Your latest skin analysis helps build a shortlist around your needs and what you already own. Choose a product for each concern, and alternatives step aside.

    • “Already covered” when you've chosen a product for a concern
    • “You may already own this” before you buy another
    • “Not for me” stays off future recommendations
    Recommended for you on the shelf: counts of products, needs and picks, filters by need, and a card marked Already covered

  4. 04 · Where to buy

    One product. Every seller's price.

    Compare the same product across the sellers we track, including brand stores. See the latest listed prices side by side and spot the lowest.

    • Matched by barcode or verified product details
    • Price per 100 ml to compare different sizes fairly
    • Price watch: drops and restocks shown on Today
    Where to buy for one face wash: Tira lowest at ₹174, then Purplle at ₹202, the brand's own store at ₹249 and Nykaa at ₹384, each with its price per 100 ml and rating

  • 05 · Skin Diary

    A diary that keeps itself.

    Rate your day, note what you noticed, add a photo if you like. Every change to your routine, and every step you tick, lands on the same day; undo something and it leaves no trace.

    • Routine changes recorded for you, netted for the day
    • An optional photo, seen only by you
    • The last 90 days, kept tidy
    A Skin Diary entry: a rating of 4 of 5, observations, context, products used, the routine changes made that day and the morning's ticks

  • 06 · My Routine

    A routine in the right order, on the right days.

    Every product, used in the right order. Add one and it lands where it belongs; Tidy my routine keeps the rest in step: sunscreen by day, retinoids by night, clashing actives on different nights.

    • Layering order worked out from each product's type
    • Tidy my routine: one tap to put everything in order
    • Every day, alternate days or weekly, with the days shown
    My Routine after Tidy my routine: a sunscreen moved to mornings only, and morning and evening steps in layering order

Meet Sage

Ask before you buy.

Sage answers questions using your routine, shelf, Skin Diary, and skin analyses. By default it follows fixed rules, with no AI model called. With AI enabled, it also handles open-ended questions and checks each answer against your records. It never diagnoses or claims a product caused a reaction.

  • Answers grounded in your routine, shelf, Skin Diary, and skin analyses
  • Every answer shows its basis: your records, product data, app rules, or unknown
  • Know what you already own before buying for the same concern
  • Your routine and diary change only when you confirm
Ask Sage

A real answer from Sage's fixed rules: every product checked against her allergies and sensitivities.

  1. CheckType a name or scan a barcode. See what your records say about it before you spend anything.
  2. ChooseBuy where it costs least, or a cheaper product with the same actives. What you save is counted when you buy.
  3. UseMark it in use and add it to your routine: it's placed in layering order, on the days that suit it.
  4. RememberYour Skin Diary keeps how your skin felt, a photo if you like, and what your routine did that day.

The Quiet Art of Starting Over

You don't need a new life. You might just need a new Tuesday.

We've made starting over sound dramatic, like it requires a grand announcement, a new city or a perfectly curated Monday morning. Most of the time, it begins with something much smaller.

    Can AI Really Understand Your Skin?
