Challenges
Turn a messy, subjective habit into something measurable: accurate skin readings from phone selfies, routines people actually keep, and progress users can see — without making skincare feel like homework.

Skincare, finally measured
With a European beauty-tech startup, we built a mobile app that scans, scores and coaches — turning a selfie into a personal skincare plan that improves with every use.

About the client
A European beauty-tech startup on a mission to make skincare personal and evidence-based. They wanted one product that serves two audiences: people who want to understand their skin, and skincare brands who want to understand their customers. *Product name changed and client anonymized; interface mockups are illustrative concept redesigns, not the client’s production UI.
Story
Three chapters: why skincare needed fixing, the idea that fixed it, and what it unlocked.
01
The guessing game
People buy on hype and follow routines that don’t match their skin. Brands sell without seeing what customers’ skin actually needs.
02
A learning loop
Scan, act, check in, learn. Every interaction feeds the next recommendation
03
Data-backed confidence
Users finally see what works. Brands get real insight into real skin.
A learning loop, not a lookup table
Every part of the app feeds the next, so recommendations get sharper the longer someone uses it.
Scan
An AI face scan scores six skin metrics from a single selfie.
Act
Personalized AM and PM routines and product picks answer what the scan found.
Check in
A 30-second questionnaire captures how skin actually feels today.
Learn
Analytics link habits to results and refine the next suggestion.
Before and after
Move the lens across the selfie to reveal the AI skin map. Illustrative visualization.
Before: a single selfieAfter: six skin metrics, mapped
Execution
We built a cross-platform app for iOS and Android with an AI analysis engine at its core.
Features overview
Features overview
01
A full skin assessment from one selfie
Guided capture checks lighting, background, hair and shadows before the scan runs. The engine then scores six metrics (acne, hydration, pigmentation, pores, redness and texture) and compares every scan with the last.
02
Routines that fit the skin, and the clock
Cleanse, moisturize, protect, split into AM and PM. Product scanning, streaks and a weekly consistency score keep people on track, with dermatologist “Skin School” tips right in the flow.
03
Trends, not snapshots
Daily and monthly views show month-over-month deltas for skin feeling, mood and adherence, then turn them into plain-language patterns like “hydration climbs on weeks with 5+ completed routines”.
04
Thirty seconds of human context
A three-part check-in covers skincare, wellbeing and nutrition, telling the AI how skin actually feels so the next recommendation fits the person, not just the photo.
Design: calm, warm and clinical enough to trust
Skincare is personal, and data can feel cold. We paired a warm, editorial palette with clear data visualization so the app feels like a coach, not a lab report.
Component library
Score cards, metric chips, routine steps and check-in cards, built as reusable components so new metrics and features slot in without a redesign.
Design principles
One action per screen · Plain-language insights · Progress over perfection · Guidance before capture.
Design system
Warm neutrals for calm, coral for action, forest green for healthy progress.

For users — confidence
