An editorial reading of the saved reviews

People value OnSkin for being certified by skin specialists and for a quick cosmetics check, and it genuinely helped some with acne. But the reviews show it forces payment from the first screen with no real free limit, which angers people expecting a trial. It's technically shaky too: analysis of unfamiliar products hangs for months, K-beauty barely gets found, and Apple ID-only sign-in often fails.

What users experience

3 excerpts from the breakdown. These are individual cases, not a verdict on all users.

Very annoyed with the scanner. I can no longer scan the barcode of a product.

Every K beauty product I tried was not found. Making this app essentially useless for me.

Too slow to analyze products that aren’t readily available in the system. I have had some scans on here for months and it still says analyzing.
