How long does it take?
About two minutes. You take one photo and answer two or three quick questions. The photo check itself takes a few seconds.
Is this a diagnosis?
No. Skinli gives simple skin tips and is not a doctor. The plan tells you when to see a doctor, for example if you have big sore lumps, scars, or a lot of pimples with pus.
What if my photo is not clear?
Skinli asks you to take it again and gives tips, like facing a window. If the photo check does not work, you can answer a few questions about your skin instead.
Do I need an account?
No. You see your score without an account, and you can pay for a plan without one too. Sign in with Google only if you want to save your plan and come back to it.
How accurate is the photo check?
A photo can be wrong. Bad light, a filter, or makeup can hide pimples or marks. Treat the result as a helpful guess, not a diagnosis. The plan says when to see a doctor.
Is this an AI skin analysis or skin scanner tool?
Yes. Skinli's photo check is an AI skin analysis tool built for acne: it works like a skin scanner or skin checker, but instead of a general skin score it looks only at pimples, blackheads and the marks they leave behind, then builds a plan around what it finds.
Is there a free AI skin scanner for acne?
Yes, Skinli's photo check is free. You upload or take one photo, answer two or three questions, and see your acne score with no account and no payment. Only the plan that follows the free score and its daily steps costs money.
