When should you choose Basic?

Choose Basic for an initial overview from one front photo, key concerns, and introductory care guidance. Its shorter flow works well for first-time users.

  • General skin-condition summary.
  • Key concerns such as pores, sebum, and hydration.
  • Basic care guidance.
  • Useful for a quick baseline.

When should you choose Advanced?

Advanced is designed for deeper evaluation. Use a front photo alone or add left and right profiles. The Sample Report includes Score Details, Area Analysis, Skin Concerns, Visualization, and AI Review.

  • One or three photos.
  • More detailed parameters and overlays.
  • Side-profile and jawline analysis when supported.
  • Subject labels for different people.
  • Progress comparisons over time.
