Rating: Cosmetic Ingredient Scanner

AI Skin Scanner - SkinGuru

doubtful rating

People grab a skin scan for a quick answer about a mole or rash, and it gave some a direction or saved a dermatologist visit. But it returns different results for the same photo and essentially routes requests through ChatGPT with no model of its own. The most dangerous part is false diagnoses: it failed to recognize real cancer, yet flagged a harmless child rash as cancer at a high percentage, and doctors openly advise not to trust the scanner.

About the rating

The 4.0 store and 2.42 text averages diverge, and the worry is that the five stars are short and gushing while the detailed reviews describe dangerous errors: different diagnoses for one spot, a 92% cancer call on a child. Empty five stars against such stories look suspicious.
