Skin age is an estimate of how old your skin appears based on visible signs like texture, pores, and tone. It's not a medical measurement — it's a helpful benchmark to track whether your routine is improving things over time.

Progress tracking

Progress you can measure — see what's actually working

Weekly scans show real trends in your skin. Track texture, pores, and skin age over time. No more guessing if your routine is helping.

What we track

Metrics that matter for understanding your skin's progress.

Skin Age

An estimate of how old your skin appears. Track whether it's trending younger over time.

Texture & Clarity

Visible smoothness and clarity. Improving texture is often the first sign of progress.

Pores & Concerns

Track visible pore appearance and specific concerns like acne tendency or redness.

Why weekly tracking works

Daily checking creates noise. Weekly tracking reveals real trends.

Consistent comparisons

Same lighting, same distance, same time of week. Consistency removes variables so you can see actual changes.

Guided scan process for consistency
Side-by-side week-over-week views
Trend lines over months

Consistent skin scanning with guided process

Patience with proof

Skincare results take time. Weekly tracking helps you stay patient because you can see small improvements adding up.

4-week, 8-week, 12-week milestones
See what changed when you changed products
Know when to adjust vs. keep going

Realistic expectations

Track changes without expecting a fixed deadline.

Comfort and tolerance

Notice how your skin feels. Persistent stinging, burning or worsening symptoms need attention, even if a photo score improves.

Consistency over time

Use similar lighting and distance for comparisons. Photos and AI estimates can vary and do not prove that a treatment works.

Review with a clinician

Results vary and may take weeks or months. Follow your clinician's review schedule rather than changing treatment to meet a deadline.

Common questions

Progress tracking, explained.

How often should I scan my skin?

Weekly is ideal. Skin changes take time, and daily scanning creates noise. Weekly scans in similar lighting give the most meaningful comparisons.

What is skin age?

Skin age is an estimate of how old your skin appears based on texture, pores, and tone. It's not medical — it's a benchmark to track whether your routine is improving things.

How long until I see results?

Results vary with the concern, treatment and person. Changes may take weeks or months, and some concerns need medical care. Photo estimates cannot confirm treatment success. Follow your clinician's review schedule and seek advice if symptoms persist or worsen.

Can I see before and after photos?

Yes. The app stores your weekly scans and lets you compare any two dates side by side. Great for seeing 4-week or 8-week transformations.

What lighting is best for progress photos?

Natural daylight near a window is best. Face the light source directly, avoid harsh overhead lighting, and scan at the same time each week for consistent comparisons.
