Every time you take a scan with AISkincare, our AI analyzes your skin across six key metrics. Each metric is scored from 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating healthier skin in that area. Here's what each one tells you:
1. Hydration (Moisture Levels)
Hydration measures how well your skin retains moisture. Well-hydrated skin appears plump, smooth, and has a healthy glow. Low hydration scores may indicate dryness, flaking, or a compromised skin barrier.
2. Texture (Smoothness)
Texture evaluates the overall smoothness of your skin's surface. A high score means your skin is smooth and even, while a lower score may indicate rough patches, bumps, or uneven surface.
3. Tone (Evenness)
Tone measures how even your skin color is across different areas. Uneven tone can show up as dark spots, hyperpigmentation, or discoloration from sun damage or post-inflammatory marks.
4. Acne (Breakouts)
The acne metric evaluates the presence and severity of breakouts, including active pimples, whiteheads, blackheads, and cystic acne.
5. Pores (Visibility)
Pore score measures how visible and enlarged your pores appear. While pore size is largely genetic, certain factors can make them appear more prominent.
6. Redness (Inflammation)
Redness tracks inflammation, irritation, and flushing across your skin. This can be caused by sensitivity, rosacea, environmental factors, or product reactions.
Track Your Metrics Over Time
The real power of these metrics comes from tracking them consistently. Use AISkincare's Progress Tracking feature to see trends across weeks and months — you'll see exactly what's working and what needs adjustment in your routine.
