Retake AI Face & Selfie Editor
authentic ratingThe concept is strong: the app generates multiple retouching variants for one face in parallel, letting you pick the best. When a generation lands, it looks natural (removes wrinkles and blemishes without making the face look plastic). But roughly 9 out of 10 generations look like AI hallucinations: facial shape changes, eyes point the wrong way. The daily retouch limit disrupts the workflow.
83% five-star ratings with a textAvg of 3.55, one of the best ratios among all 20 apps. Positive reviews are substantive: they describe specific scenarios and praise the naturalness of results. No signs of organized manipulation.
What users love
- When it works
- The result looks like a edited photograph rather than an AI generation: the person remains recognizable while skin improves and lighting corrects.
What users hate
- Most generations look unnatural: the app changes facial features and removes freckles with no option to preserve them. There is no intensity control to reduce the degree of AI intervention.
Who it is for
A user willing to spend 30 to 40 attempts to get one natural-looking retouch for portrait publications where recognizability matters.
