About Skinli
Skinli is a web app for everyday acne. You take one face photo and answer two or three quick questions. Skinli gives you an acne score and writes a day by day plan in simple words, with gels you buy yourself at any drugstore. Skinli sells no products. The plan follows published acne guidelines and changes with how sensitive your skin is, what you already tried, and whether you should see a doctor. Skinli is not a doctor. It runs in the browser.
Your acne score and what your photo shows are free. The 4 week plan is $19.99 once, for 4 weeks. The 12 week plan is $39.99 once, for 12 weeks. Nothing renews and nothing else is charged.

Who makes Skinli
Skinli is made by Nick, its founder. The guides and lessons carry his name. He is not a doctor, a nurse, or a dermatologist.
More about NickHow the guides are researched and checked
Guides are picked from what people search for on Google. The answers come from public health sources: the American Academy of Dermatology, the UK's NICE and NHS, MedlinePlus, drug labels on DailyMed and the FDA, and studies on PubMed.
Every guide lists its sources at the end. The site will not build if a guide has fewer than two sources, or fewer than ten questions and answers.
No doctor has reviewed the guides yet. Guides about rosacea and eczema tell you to see a doctor and do not give doses.
The acne plan follows the NICE acne guideline, the 2024 American Academy of Dermatology guideline, the NHS acne page, and the adapalene drug label. Every plan lists those sources.
What Skinli is not
- Skinli is not a doctor, and a plan from Skinli is not a diagnosis.
- Skinli does not prescribe medicine. The plan uses gels you can buy in a store.
- Skinli has not tested how accurate its photo count is. There is no accuracy number yet.
- Skinli is not an app you download. It runs in the browser.
