An editorial reading of the saved reviews

People value SkinSort for breaking down ingredients and matching products to skin as a match percentage, and they like reading and leaving product reviews. Trust in the personal score breaks: the match percentage changes retroactively with no profile change, and after paying the product ratings suddenly drop, leaving people feeling cheated. Plus it's more of a search engine than an assistant: it doesn't build a routine or warn about product conflicts, it just shows dupes.

What people use it for

For anyone who wants to understand ingredients and find products matching by composition, and will build the routine themselves

What reviews praise

Breaking down unfamiliar ingredients, matching products to skin as a percentage, other people's product reviews, comparing two products, flagging already-vetted products

What reviews complain about

Match percentage changes retroactively with no profile change, ratings drop after paying, doesn't build a routine or warn about product conflicts, more search engine than assistant, side-by-side comparison moved behind a subscription, inaccurate data versus the manufacturer's site

What users experience

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

I used to love this app but lately it seems like so many products that I want to buy are discontinued.

suddenly today it was showing me a completely different rating for certain products that I know for a fact matched 100% for me and I haven’t changed anything in my profile. Now I can’t trust it

I put my best skincare products on the scanner and it kept on saying 0% match and then I put my worst skincare products on the scanner and it 100% match help me make this make sense please

They market they will give you assistance in building a regimen when they just share dupe options for what you’re already using.
