Thank you creator!
Im quite grateful for this app! Its helped me toss bad products that were causing much harm to my skin. Thank you for this app 🩶
Inaccurate results for same product ingredients
I have copied and pasted ingredients and told it’s not pore clogging, then put the same products ingredients in again and it says pore clogging ingredients?? I have purchased products based on this saying it’s not pore clogging only to recheck the same product again with SAME ingredients list to be told it’s no good.
Has potential.
It's not bad, but it could be better! I personally use this app a lot and while it's good, it would be nice if the app had a section with a list of options and recommendations for acne-safe products. Just to save time, in my opinion. Someone already commented this but a scanner option would also save a lot of time instead of copying and pasting ingredients.
Doesn’t catch all comedogenic ingredients!
Compared to other ingredient checkers, this only flags/highlights about HALF of pore-clogging ingredients I need to watch out for. I’ve been using different online ingredient checkers for years, but wanted to find an app for convenience. I guess I’ll have to keep looking.
Amazing
This app saved my skin an my mental health!
Comedogenic inaccuracy
Shea butter is non comedogenic yet in the app it’s label as comedogenic and olive oil is comedogenic yet it’s labeled as not fix the accuracy
Не хватает возможности работать с фото
Было бы здорово, если бы приложение умело работать не только с текстом, но и фото. Удобно в магазине сразу сфотографировать состав и понять, подходит ли средство
Like this app it could be a lot better.
I just got this app the other day because I had to change my diet over night so now I have to check every label on everything before I buy it. This app would be so much better if I was able to scan the ingredients list on the back of a package and it tells me the bad things on the list I can’t have. It takes so much time to look up information online then copy and paste in the app. I looked up what I needed before hand but if they don’t have the specific product you have to see if you can substitute for something else right there in the store. I wasted a lot of time looking up other options online because the didn’t have the other products in store. Please!!! I really hope you update the app!!!
MWAH
Supa slay😛🪽
love!!!
Wish it had a scanner tho… and explanations!
Use this every time I shop for products
As someone with adult acne-prone skin, this is a game changer and I wish I had this when I was a teenager! You can copy and paste the ingredients or look at the full list and over time you get familiarized with what to look out for. I wish this had an ingredient scanner or barcode scanner to make things easier, but even with taking the time to copy and paste full list of ingredients from a website, it gives you instant feedback and It’s really helped me avoid breakout-causing ingredients.
Awesome App
Awesome app, easy to use! Is there a way to contact the development team? There’s a few additional ingredients I’ve seen on lists such as this and would be interested to know if they agree to add. Thanks!
Thanks Alix!!!
Here because of alix! Thank you for this rec!
Very Helpful for my Clients
As a licensed esthetician who specializes in the holistic treatment of acne, this app has been so helpful for my clients! Instead of reading through a written list of pore-cloggers and compare it to a product ingredient list, this app makes it easy to find culprits in a second! 4 stars because there are a few ingredients I’ve seen that the app doesn’t flag. Overall excellent & I recommend it 👍
Amazing app
Highly recommend. Have been using this app for over a year now and it helps me a lot when choosing skin care products or makeup
Please add scanner!!
It’s incredibly time consuming to copy & paste the ingredients into the app. They need to either implement a barcode scanner or allow you to upload a picture of the ingredients. I’d also love if they provided skincare and makeup suggestions. It tells you what you shouldn’t use, but doesn’t tell you what you should. Otherwise it is helpful!
Easy and fast
The best tool for my clients ✔️
Very handy resource
This app works great to find out if products contain pore clogging ingredients. I was shocked to find that most products I was using contained at least 1-3 ingredients on the list. Thank you for creating this so we can educate ourselves on what products really contain!
SUPER HELPFUL!
This app is incredibly helpful!!
Love it!
I absolutely love this app, it’s so useful. An upgrade would be if you were able to click on the ingredients once they are selected by the algorithm and find some information on it. Also who ever said shea butter isn’t a comedogenic is very wrong, and should do a little research before leaving a bad review on an extremely helpful app.
