A guided selfie becomes clear scores across six visible skin signals — then SkinMax builds the morning and evening routine designed to move them, and tracks every day you show up.
SkinMax turns guided photos into a plan you can actually follow — and a baseline you can measure against.
A face-guide overlay walks you through consistent, well-framed photos. Same angle, same light, every time — so your scores mean something.
AI analysis assesses visible signals — acne, redness, texture, oiliness, dark circles and hydration — into one report you can read in ten seconds.
A focused AM and PM routine built around your scores. Check in daily, hold the streak, re-scan in three days and see what moved.
No ten-step routines. No ingredient rabbit holes. A small number of steps that matter, tracked properly.
Your first scan becomes your baseline. Re-scans measure the change against it — not a fresh roll of the dice — so progress is consistent and honest.
Clear morning and evening steps with what to use, when, and why. Tick them off as you go — the routine is the product, not the report.
Routine reminders morning and night, a streak that builds with every check-in, and a nudge at day three to re-scan and see the delta.
Recommendations drawn from a curated set of proven, affordable products — matched to your scores, never invented, never padded.
SkinMax provides cosmetic skincare guidance based on visible skin characteristics. It does not detect, diagnose or treat any medical condition. If something on your skin is persistent, painful, rapidly changing or worrying you, see a GP or dermatologist — that's not something an app should handle, including this one.
SkinMax matches products to your scores from a curated catalogue of trusted, widely available brands — the kind your routine actually needs, at prices that make sense.
The non-negotiable first step. Fragrance-free, non-stripping formulas from brands like CeraVe and La Roche-Posay.
Matched to your specific scores — niacinamide for oiliness, azelaic acid for redness, retinal for texture. From brands like The Ordinary and Paula's Choice.
Hydration and broad-spectrum sun protection, every single day. The two steps that protect everything else you do.
Some product links in the SkinMax app and on this site are affiliate links — as an Amazon Associate, SkinMax earns from qualifying purchases, at no extra cost to you. Affiliate relationships never decide what gets recommended and never guarantee a product suits your skin. Always check ingredients and patch-test new products. Read the full affiliate disclosure.
Visible skin characteristics from your guided photos — things like apparent redness, visible texture, oiliness and signs of dehydration — combined with what you tell us about your routine and goals. It assesses what's visible. It does not detect or diagnose disease.
No. SkinMax is a cosmetic guidance and routine-tracking app, not a medical device or diagnostic service. Nothing in the app replaces a GP or dermatologist, and the app will tell you to see one if your photos show something that warrants professional attention.
Your photos are stored securely in your private account and used solely to generate your analysis and track your progress over time. They're never shared, never sold, and never used to train AI models. You can delete your photos and your account — and everything tied to it — at any time from inside the app. Full details in our Privacy Policy.
From a fixed, curated catalogue of widely trusted brands, matched to your scores. The AI selects from the catalogue — it can't invent products. Some links are affiliate links (disclosed everywhere they appear), but affiliate status never affects what gets matched to you.
Your scan and scores are free. The full fix — your personalised routine, product matches, streaks and re-scan tracking — is part of SkinMax Pro, with a free trial so you can run the routine before paying anything.
