Every trait score from one scan, lowest to highest, against the skin score they add up to.
Skin score
55
Fair
8 of the 13 scored traits sit above the skin score of 55. Select a trait to see what the scan looks for.
A skin analysis is a close, trait-by-trait reading of the visible surface of your skin. An AI skin analysis does it from one selfie: a computer vision model looks at color, surface, light, and shape, rates 14 traits from pores to skin age, and sums them up in a single skin score out of 100.
The photo
Front light, bare skin, no filter. Every reading starts from these pixels. A good photo matters more than anything else. Pick a lens to see the four kinds of evidence inside it.
Color
Redness, uneven tone, and dark spots are differences in color. Turn up the color contrast and the flushed cheeks and breakout marks in this photo jump out.
Surface
Pores, texture, breakouts, and lines change the surface rather than the color. Strip the color away, sharpen the fine detail, and the bumps on the forehead and cheeks are what is left.
Light
Glow, oil, and hydration change how skin gives back light. Oil throws small, hard highlights, healthy skin reflects softly and evenly, and dehydrated skin looks flat.
Shape
Face shape, puffiness, firmness, and skin age depend on outlines and proportions. They are read across the whole face, not patch by patch.
The skin score and every trait share one 0 to 100 scale, split into five bands. Drag the marker or tap a face.
72
Good
Healthy overall, with one or two traits worth a closer look. Check the lowest ones before you change anything.

Breakouts 55
Lowest trait: Acne 30 (Average)
Fair overall. Breakouts, oil, pores and texture sit in the Average band, so that is where the work starts.
Clear skin 82
Lowest trait: Oiliness 60 (Fair)
Good overall. Only oil sits in Fair, so it is the one to watch.
Dewy glow 91
Lowest trait: Oiliness 43 (Average)
Excellent overall, yet oiliness sits in the Average band. A single number can hide a weak spot.
What a scan measures
Every scan breaks your skin into the signals that matter, then tells you what to do about each one.
How old your skin looks, judged from lines, firmness, and tone, next to your real age.
When it needs work, the app suggests
Active breakouts, congestion, and post-blemish marks across the face.

It is accurate about what a camera can see, and most useful when every photo is taken the same way. It can't see beneath the surface and it doesn't diagnose. Light changes a facial skin analysis more than anything else, and every report rates its own scan confidence, from High to Very low.
Studio light
This photo scored 91 (Excellent), with scan confidence rated Fair. The report pointed out shine on the forehead and nose that may reflect natural oil, skincare, or studio lighting, and oiliness came in at 43.
Daylight from a window is softer than studio flash and leaves fewer hard highlights to mistake for oil.
Light from straight above
Overhead light throws shadows under the brows, eyes, and nose. Shadow can read as darker tone, deeper lines, or puffiness that is not there in daylight.
Turn to face a window, or put a lamp in front of you at face height.
Not enough light
In low light the camera adds grain and softens detail. Pores and texture blur together, and colors drift. A photo like this gets a low confidence rating and a prompt to retake.
Wait for daylight, or switch on a bright, even light in front of you.
Smoothing turned on
Beauty filters and portrait modes erase pores and texture before the scan sees them. The result then describes skin that isn’t there.
Use the plain camera, with filters, portrait mode, and makeup off.
All three read your skin from images. They differ in the light they use, what they hand back, and how often you can repeat them.

A 70 sits at the bottom of the Good band. GoodSkin grades the skin score and every trait on the same scale: 85 and up is Excellent, 70 to 84 Good, 50 to 69 Fair, 25 to 49 Average, and below 25 Needs Improvement. Check your lowest traits too, since they show where the missing points went.
Light is the biggest reason. A different window, a lamp, a fresh layer of moisturizer, or holding the phone closer all change what the camera sees. Real changes show up as well, like a breakout or a dry week. Scan in the same spot at the same time of day, and judge a new routine over several weeks rather than day to day.
For a quick read, yes. The free skin analysis checks redness, shine, and tone evenness from a selfie right in your browser, and our other free skin tools work out your skin type, undertone, and Fitzpatrick type. Brand checkers on retail sites are free too, but they usually steer you to their own products. GoodSkin is free to download, and the full 14-trait report comes with Premium.
“Skin checker” often means an app for checking moles and spots, which is a medical question for a dermatologist. A skin analyzer like GoodSkin rates cosmetic traits such as pores, redness, and texture, and it does not assess moles. If a spot is new, changing, or bleeding, book a dermatologist. Here is how GoodSkin differs from SkinVision.
Yes. Every GoodSkin report lists your skin type and skin tone alongside the scores. To check your type without the app, take the skin type quiz.
