Rating: Cosmetic Ingredient Scanner

SkinSort - Skincare Scanner

authentic rating

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.

About the rating

Lots of thoughtful long reviews across ratings: people compare the app's data to the manufacturer's site, catch the match percentage changing after paying, explain why it's more of a search engine than an assistant. The gap between textAvg 3.43 and 4.74 in store is explained by critics writing at length. No signs of fakery, the reviews are too detailed and reasoned.
