How it works

How Skin Scan works

  1. Take a selfie

    Face the camera in even daylight, without makeup or filters. The AI looks at what the camera can see.

  2. See your skin score

    Get a skin score out of 100 and a score for every concern, with how pronounced it is and where it shows.

  3. Get your routine

    Skin Scan builds a morning and a night routine, step by step, around the concerns that matter most for you.

A morning and night routine, matched by active ingredient

Every step of your routine names the active ingredient that targets your concerns, explains how it helps and suggests top-rated products that contain it, each with its cosmetic score.

Morning

Focused on protecting your skin through the day, typically with antioxidants such as vitamin C, light hydration and sun protection.

Night

Focused on repair and renewal, typically with ingredients such as retinol, peptides or exfoliating acids that are best used in the evening.

Active ingredients

The 14 active ingredients behind your routine

Skin Scan matches products to well-known actives. Here is what each one does, which concerns it targets and the names to look for in an ingredient list.

Niacinamide

Vitamin B3

A form of vitamin B3 that helps balance oil, makes pores look smaller, calms redness and evens out skin tone. Gentle enough for most skin types, morning and night.

On the label as
  • NIACINAMIDE
Read the guide

Salicylic acid

BHA

An oil-soluble exfoliating acid that cleans inside the pores, which makes it a standard choice for blackheads, breakouts and oily skin.

On the label as
  • SALICYLIC ACID
  • CAPRYLOYL SALICYLIC ACID
Read the guide

Retinol

Vitamin A

Speeds up skin renewal to soften fine lines, fade dark spots and keep pores clear. Use it at night, start slowly and wear sunscreen during the day. Avoid it during pregnancy.

On the label as

  • RETINAL
  • RETINYL PALMITATE
  • RETINYL ACETATE
+1

Glycerin

One of the most proven moisturizing ingredients. It draws water into the skin and supports the skin barrier, which is why it is in so many moisturizers.

Targets
On the label as
  • GLYCERIN
Read the guide

Glycolic acid

AHA

The smallest AHA. It removes dead skin cells from the surface for smoother texture, a brighter tone and fading dark spots. Can sting sensitive skin, so start with low strengths and wear sunscreen.

On the label as
  • GLYCOLIC ACID
Read the guide

Lactic acid

AHA

A gentler AHA that exfoliates and hydrates at the same time, a good start for dry or sensitive skin. Its salts, the lactates, mainly add moisture.

On the label as
  • LACTIC ACID
  • SODIUM LACTATE
  • AMMONIUM LACTATE
  • POTASSIUM LACTATE
Read the guide

Citric acid

AHA

Chemically an AHA, but in skincare it is mostly used in small amounts to adjust the pH of a product. There is little evidence that it exfoliates or brightens on its own.

On the label as
  • CITRIC ACID
Read the guide

Peptides

Firming

Short chains of amino acids that may signal the skin to support collagen. Some studies show a modest smoothing of fine lines. Gentle and easy to combine with most actives.

Targets
On the label as
  • TOCOPHEROL
  • TOCOPHERYL ACETATE

Zinc oxide

Mineral UV filter

A mineral sunscreen filter that protects against both UVA and UVB rays. It is gentle, which makes it a common choice for sensitive skin.

Read the guide

Titanium dioxide

Mineral UV filter

A mineral sunscreen filter, strongest against UVB rays and often paired with zinc oxide for broader protection. Daily sun protection is the best way to prevent new dark spots and lines.

On the label as
  • TITANIUM DIOXIDE
Read the guide

Some actives, such as salicylic acid and retinol, are regulated ingredients with concentration limits, so ingredient scanners, Green Point included, rate them cautiously. That is about using them safely, not about whether they work. Introduce one new active at a time and patch test it first.

More actives worth knowing

Not part of Skin Scan routines, but common in skincare and good to recognize on a label.

Moisturizes, soothes and helps a stressed skin barrier recover.

How to take a good photo for skin analysis

  • Face a window in daylight. Avoid harsh sun, strong shadows and yellow indoor light.
  • Remove makeup and tinted sunscreen, which can hide redness, pores and spots.
  • Hold the phone at eye level, face the camera straight on and pull your hair back.
  • Turn off filters and beauty modes.
  • When you scan again later, use the same place, time of day and light.

Skin Scan questions

How does AI skin analysis work?

Skin Scan looks at visible features in a selfie, such as shine, uneven tone, texture and spots, and estimates how pronounced each of 10 concerns is. It works from what the camera can see, so it is a snapshot of your skin on that day, in that light.

Which skin concerns does Skin Scan check?

Acne, oiliness, dryness, redness, pores, blackheads, eye bags, crow's feet, pigmentation and moles. Each one gets a score and a short description, and your skin gets an overall score out of 100.

How is my skincare routine chosen?

Skin Scan builds a morning and night routine around your main concerns. Each step names an active ingredient, such as niacinamide, salicylic acid or retinol, explains how it helps and suggests top-rated products that contain it.

Is Skin Scan free?

Green Point is free to download. The full Skin Scan results, with your scores and your routine, are a one-time purchase, not a subscription.

Who can see my skin analysis?

Your full analysis is visible only to you.

Can Skin Scan diagnose skin conditions?

No. Skin Scan gives general information and is not a medical device. It can't tell whether a mole is harmless or diagnose conditions such as rosacea or eczema. See a dermatologist for anything that worries you.
