I'm looking for a skincare app that will allow me to log all my products and compare which ones I should avoid using together. Preferably one that takes into account smaller details about my skin vs just my age and oily/combination/dry Edit to add: I'm very new to skincare, until about a month ago i would just use moisturizer sporadically. I need something user friendly that can help me with my journey I have a samsung btw

Skincare doesn’t need to be so complicated that it requires an app. The skincare apps don’t tend to be so popular because it often gives generic advice, it’s not really tailored to you anyways. You’re better off scaling your routine as you learn more about skincare. Journaling what you’ve noticed about your skin and what products it’s receptive to would be fine though
Unfortunately most of the apps out there are geared to selling you new things, with very little nuanced advice since it's mostly AI slop. Even some of the good websites are now more about finding dupes than ingredient breakdowns.
I couldn't find an app that met all my needs. I use mimiglow for logging and inventory, and I kept separate notes on a notion db. My notes were like a spreadsheet of price, volume, would I buy again?, key ingredients, notes and a star rating out of 5. I chose the categories to help me decide what's worth repurchasing. Price + volume for value key ingredients, to both pinpoint if somethings working well or if i'm looking at superfluous additions (e.g. do you need a niacinamide serum if your cleanser, toner and moisturiser have it? Prob not) notes is a blurb for how it felt to put on and left my skin feeling after. Was it tacky, did it sink in, pill, did it have a strong fragrance. the star rating is just really to summarise my notes. So knock a star if I don't like the texture, absorption or smell. I've pretty much narrowed down my repurchases now so I don't look at my notes much.
I like skinsort, though I don't pay for the subscription. It does what you want it to do.
I'm building such an app. And it's tricky for a few reasons that explains why most don't go down the routine building/analysing path. Data about your skin is considered health information and is super tricky to process, other strict regulations apply if you start giving routine advice as it is considered 'medical advice', meaning most apps out there are super generic. I hope one day to pass some of those hurdles to release routine builder/analyser, but for v1 I have a dupe finder with ingredient analysis, if you wanted to try ('incismart' on play store, which will work on your Samsung, iOS in the works)
