Changelog
What changed on Skinli, and when. Newest first. Each date is the day the change was saved to the project's history, in Pacific time (PT).
- Trimmed the /analyze and free-acne-check meta descriptions so Google shows the full price instead of cutting it off mid-digit.
- Guide pages now bring readers to the free scan instead of only informing them. Visitors who score 90 or more (clear skin) are shown a free keep-it-clear routine instead of being sold a plan. Visits that look like a bot, including a Singapore crawler that had been 428 of one day's sessions, no longer count in the site's numbers.
- Added a verified AI Skin Scanner (SkinGuru) row to the acne apps comparison table.
- The pricing page now says the 9 paid features come with either plan, not just the 12 week one.
- The compare-vs pages and the AI apps roundup post now show their own photo when a link to them is shared.
- Linked 9 more guides into the hub pillar each one belongs to (gut health and acne, two retinoids guides, two tretinoin guides, two benzoyl peroxide guides, an azelaic-acid and a niacinamide pairing guide, and the last orphaned daily-habits guide), and linked 8 more guides from topically related pages, so fewer pages sit with no link pointing to them.
- Linked the new DHT and acne guide from the men's hormonal acne page, and the three salicylic-acid pairing guides from their ingredient pillar.
- The home page and the comparison hub now show their own photo when a link to them is shared, instead of the same general picture every page used before.
- More guessed addresses, such as /checkout, /plan, /account, /profile, /help and /support, now go to a real page instead of a "not found" page.
- Fixed llms-full.txt, which still described the consent checkbox step removed from /analyze on 2026-09-30 and had the free-score and paid-plan steps in the wrong order, to match the real /analyze flow.
- Linked 7 more guides from topically related pages so they are no longer dead ends.
- Updated Thea's App Store rating count on the comparison page.
- Every guide and every hub pillar now has its own text for the "Share on LinkedIn" button.
- More guessed addresses, such as /blog, /scan, /signup, /login and /faq, now go to a real page instead of a "not found" page.
- /sample now ends with a call to action too, not just one at the top.
- Comparison page data now loads only on the /compare pages. The file every page downloads first got smaller, from 159 KB to 125 KB gzipped.
- Made the wording on the pricing cards clearer and more positive.
- Pricing cards, the plan paywall in the middle of the page, and the plan step in /analyze now all show the price per week too, not just the total.
- /about and /about/nick each got a call to action.
- Every /tools page now has a call to action to try the free acne analysis.
- Fixed the AI acne apps comparison table to show full yearly pricing for Skan and AcneTrack.
- The home page's title tag now leads with the free acne score.
- /journal now shows a limited number of guides at first, with a "Show more guides" button.
- The home page's hero and meta description now state the plan's length, not just its price.
- Added the sensitive skin guide hub: a pillar page plus 13 guides.
- Added the acne-by-face-area guide hub: a pillar page plus 10 guides.
- Every guide and page now describes the real plan: adapalene 0.1% and benzoyl peroxide 2.5% together, with no salicylic acid. Guides link their sources inside the text.
- A new acne score that reaches 100 for clear skin and changes with each pimple. The plan adds a 3 day patch test, emergency warning signs and a box for skin reactions.
- You can delete one photo or your whole account, share a photo-free copy of your routine, and turn off reminder emails with one click. Screen recordings start only after you agree.
- New pages: how Skinli works, about Skinli, press, this changelog, and a fair comparison of AI acne apps.
- Added 11 guide hubs with 127 new guides.
- The Guides menu in the header now lists every hub.
- Skinli moved to Cloudflare. Accounts, saved plans and photos are now stored there, and sign-in is with Google only.
- Added two more free tools, a comedogenic checker and an ingredient pairing checker, and 145 more guides.
- Added the free tools page, with a skin type quiz and a skincare routine builder.
- Rebuilt the acne plan. The photo finds the facts, you answer a few short questions, and you pick a 4 week or a 12 week plan.
- Added the first guides, each with questions and answers and a list of sources.
- Every plan now shows its sources: the American Academy of Dermatology guideline, NICE, the NHS and the adapalene label. Every guide must list at least two sources.
- Added an author page for Nick, the founder.
- Grouped the guides into topic hubs.
- Gave every guide its own cover image.
- Added llms.txt, a plain text list of the site's main pages for AI tools.
- Added photos, pimple drawings, and a visual plan.
- The site took the name Skinli and its words were focused on acne. Added daily progress photos and reminder emails.
- First working version: an AI photo check for acne, a daily entry page, a privacy page, and the brand look.
- The project was started from a template.
