Rating: Cosmetic Ingredient Scanner

Glow - AI Skin Scanner

gamed rating

People like the idea of a skin scanner, and it does help some figure out their routine and pick products for their type. But it walks you through a long quiz and a face scan, then hides the result behind a paywall, often 4.99 a week, and that infuriates almost everyone. People doubt the science behind the analysis, complain about dead support, and report large charges after a tiny trial.

About the rating

The 4.84 store rating against a 2.07 text average with only 21% five stars in text is a huge gap that gives itself away. Most detailed reviews scream about paying right after the face scan and call it a scam, while the rare five stars are short and generic.
