After the result, you can ask any follow-up question: why an ingredient is flagged, what it can't be combined with, what to replace it with.

Can I use this with retinol?
Better to alternate days. Using them together can increase irritation — especially on sensitive skin.

FAQ

Everything about cosmetic ingredient analysis

Answers to the main questions about INCI analysis, comedogenicity, ingredient compatibility, and skin profiles.

How do I check cosmetic ingredients from a photo?

Take a photo of the ingredient list on the packaging or back label and upload it to Inn‑Skin. The AI recognizes INCI — even if the text is small, in Latin script, or slightly blurry — and delivers an ingredient breakdown. If the photo doesn't work, you can enter the ingredients manually or find the product in the catalog.

What is comedogenicity and how do I check it?

Comedogenicity is an ingredient's tendency to clog pores and trigger blackheads or breakouts. This is an important factor for oily and acne-prone skin. Inn‑Skin flags potentially comedogenic ingredients, evaluates their position in the formula (beginning or end of the INCI list), and gives a verdict on whether the product suits acne-prone skin.

Can I combine retinol with acids and vitamin C?

Some actives don't work well together and can irritate skin when used simultaneously — for example, retinol with AHA/BHA acids. In a pair or routine compatibility check, Inn‑Skin shows ingredient conflicts, suggests an application order, and advises which actives to alternate between days or between morning and evening.

What will I get from an ingredient analysis?

A full verdict on the product: overall safety and efficacy scores, a description of what the product is and who it's for, effect predictions in percentages (hydration, glow, even tone, and others), texture characteristics, key actives with explanations, personal match to your profile, and application recommendations.

How do I know if a product is right for me?

Inn‑Skin calculates a personal match percentage — how well the product fits your skin or hair profile. Plus effect predictions: hydration levels, glow, even tone, and other parameters. It also flags where the product may fall short and who should choose something else.

Is this an ingredient breakdown or a full product analysis?

It's a full product analysis. We don't just list ingredients — we explain what the product is, its strengths and weaknesses, how it works as a whole, who it suits, and how to use it in a routine. Ingredients are shown only in the key actives section with explanations of their roles.

What is personal match?

It's the percentage match between the product and your skin or hair profile. It takes into account skin type, sensitivity, acne tendency, care goals, and previous reactions to actives. Inn‑Skin shows what the product adds specifically for you and where there may be limitations.

Will I get application recommendations?

Yes. Every analysis ends with a practical recommendations block: AM or PM use, SPF compatibility, which actives to alternate, application frequency, and order in your routine.

Can I check a product without signing up?

Yes. One free trial analysis is available without sign-up or entering a card. After registration, 2 ingredient analyses per day become available for free.

Can I check a shampoo or hair care product?

Yes. Inn‑Skin analyzes shampoos, masks, leave-in care, and specialized treatments based on your hair profile and scalp condition. It delivers a separate verdict for hair formulas — hair type, who it suits, and what results to expect.

How is Inn‑Skin different from other apps?

Most apps simply show an ingredient list with a plus/minus rating. We give a holistic verdict on the product: what it is, who it's for, what results to expect, how to use it. We account for your personal profile, predict effects in percentages, and compare with similar products.

How much does Inn‑Skin Pro cost?

$6 per month. Up to 10 analyses of any type per day: product analysis, comparison, routine compatibility, skin and hair analysis, consultation. Cancel anytime — no further charges.

Do you protect my data?

Yes. We comply with GDPR. We do not share your information with brands or third parties, and we do not use it for advertising. Photos and analyses are stored only for your account. You can delete your account along with all your data at any time.

Check Cosmetic Ingredients Online by Photo

Inn‑Skin is an online service for checking cosmetic ingredients by photo. Upload a photo of a cream, serum, toner, mask, or shampoo — the AI recognizes INCI, analyzes the formula, and gives a clear verdict: what the product is, whether it suits you, what actives are inside, and how to use it correctly. Works without installing an app — directly in your browser, on desktop or mobile.

The service analyzes a wide range of products: moisturizing and nourishing creams, serums with niacinamide, retinol, vitamin C, and peptides, toners, cleansers and micellar water, SPF and sunscreens, face masks, shampoos, conditioners, leave-in care, and specialized hair treatments.

Comedogenicity and Irritant Check

For oily and acne-prone skin, knowing whether a formula is comedogenic is essential. Inn‑Skin flags potentially comedogenic ingredients, highlights irritants and aggressive components, and assesses formula gentleness. For sensitive skin — it warns about alcohol, fragrances, essential oils, and other common triggers.

Personal Match — the Key Difference

Inn‑Skin calculates how well a product matches your skin or hair profile as a percentage. The same product may score 90% for dry sensitive skin and 45% for oily acne-prone skin — that's the point of personalization. The calculation uses skin type, sensitivity, acne tendency, pigmentation, and care goals.

Ingredient Compatibility and Routine Building

Not all actives work well together. Retinol and acids, vitamin C and niacinamide, azelaic and salicylic — combinations that often confuse. Pair and routine compatibility checks show whether products can be used together, the correct application order, and which actives are better split between morning and evening.

Specific Effect Predictions

Instead of vague packaging claims, you get real effect estimates in percentages: hydration, barrier strengthening, anti-inflammatory action, even tone, glow. This lets you choose products for a specific goal, not based on marketing slogans.

Shampoo and Hair Care Analysis

Shampoo, mask, leave-in care, or anti-dandruff treatment — a dedicated scenario that accounts for your hair condition and scalp health. Inn‑Skin evaluates the formula for your hair type, scalp sensitivity, and care goal (cleansing, hydration, repair, volume).

Multiple Analysis Types in One Service

For full skincare management: single product analysis, two-product comparison, pair or full routine compatibility, hair care analysis, and AI expert consultation. All results are saved in your history and can be revisited and discussed in the analysis chat.
