Thea - #1 Beauty App
authentic ratingPeople value Thea for building a personalized routine and especially for checking whether products conflict with each other, and it genuinely cleared some people's acne. It breaks in two spots: the skin score doesn't move even when skin has clearly improved, which undermines trust in the tracking, and the app walks you through a quiz and photos only to hit a paywall with no warning. Plus the 13+ age gate shuts out the younger teens it drew in.
Lots of detailed usage stories: people check vitamin C compatibility with an exfoliant, describe their cystic acne journey, argue about a frozen skin score despite clear improvement. The gap between textAvg 3.85 and 4.83 in store is moderate and explained by happy users writing briefly while unhappy ones go long on pricing and age.
