What Skinzy does, what it deliberately does not do, and what we each agree to when you use it.

Last updated: 15 October 2026

1. What Skinzy is

A cosmetic skin-analysis tool, not a clinical one.

Skinzy analyses a selfie you provide and returns a cosmetic read of your skin across five facial zones — forehead and nose (the T-zone), both cheeks, the under-eye area, and the chin and jawline. For each zone it estimates five characteristics: oiliness, dryness, visible blemishes, pigmentation, and sensitivity. It then suggests skincare ingredients and matching products based on those estimates.

By using Skinzy you agree to these terms. Skinzy is operated by Yash Ghansham Thakare, an individual based in India, and is currently offered in beta.

2. Skinzy is not medical advice

This is the most important term on this page.

Skinzy does not diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any medical condition. It is not a medical device, it is not a substitute for a dermatologist, and its output is not a clinical finding. The scores it produces are estimates from computer vision on a single photograph.

If you have a persistent, painful, spreading, bleeding, or rapidly changing skin condition, please see a qualified dermatologist rather than relying on Skinzy. Do not delay seeking medical care because of anything Skinzy shows you.

The same applies to the diet, lifestyle and supplement guides on this site. They are general information about what studies have found, they do not suggest any amount of a supplement, and they are not a substitute for advice from a doctor or dietitian.

Educational advice — non-medical skin read

Informational purposes only. Consult a dermatologist for persistent skin conditions.

3. Accuracy and beta limitations

What the technology can and cannot reliably tell you.

Skinzy is in active development and its accuracy is limited. Results vary with lighting, camera quality, head angle, makeup, facial hair, and skin tone. The same person photographed twice in different conditions may receive different scores.

Because of this, we deliberately constrain what Skinzy will report. Scores are capped below their theoretical maximum so the tool cannot present an alarming result it is not capable of justifying, and each zone is reported with a confidence level. Where a measurement cannot be made reliably — for example a chin obscured by facial hair, or a frame too dimly lit to read — Skinzy marks that measurement as not taken rather than guessing.

Skinzy will also refuse to analyse some photographs outright, including images that are too blurry, too dark, too low-resolution, contain more than one face, or where the face is turned too far from the camera. This is intentional: declining is better than returning a number we do not trust.

4. Your responsibilities

Only upload photographs of your own face. Do not upload images of other people, whether or not you know them, and do not upload images you do not have the right to use.

You must be 18 or older to use Skinzy, or have the consent and supervision of a parent or legal guardian.

Please do not attempt to disrupt, overload, reverse-engineer, or gain unauthorised access to the service, and do not use automated tools to submit images at scale.

5. Ingredient recommendations

We suggest ingredients and link to a retailer search for them; we do not sell products.

Skinzy recommends skincare active ingredients based on your scan, and links each one to an Amazon search for that ingredient. We do not name, manufacture, sell, stock, or ship any specific product, and we are not responsible for the quality, price, availability, or formulation of whatever a retailer's search results turn up, or for the conduct of any retailer.

A search link is a starting point, not an endorsement of any particular listing. Always check the actual product's ingredient list, price, and expiry on the retailer's own page before buying.

Skincare products can cause irritation or allergic reactions. Patch-test new products, read their ingredient lists — particularly if you have known allergies — and stop using anything that causes a reaction. Some ingredients Skinzy may mention require a prescription and a doctor's supervision; these are flagged as such where we surface them.

6. Intellectual property

The Skinzy name, interface, and analysis engine belong to its operator. You keep all rights to the photographs you upload; you grant us only the limited permission needed to process your image in order to return your result.

Multiple in-house work — including proprietary computer-vision, scoring, and recommendation pipelines — underlies Skinzy. It is also built on open-source components and openly licensed datasets; those third-party licences and their required attributions are documented in the project's source repository.

7. Liability

Skinzy is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis, without warranties of any kind. We do not guarantee that it will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that its results will be accurate for you.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, our liability for any claim relating to Skinzy is limited to the amount you actually paid us in the twelve months before the claim arose. We are not liable for indirect or consequential loss, including any outcome arising from a skincare product you chose to buy or use.

Nothing here limits any right you have under Indian consumer protection law that cannot be limited by agreement.

8. Referrals

Every account has a referral link. A referral counts when someone who did not already have a Skinzy account signs up using your link and completes their first scan — signing up alone is not enough.

When 3 referrals have counted, we add 3 weeks of Skinzy Plus to your account. This reward is once per account. Each friend whose referral counts receives 1 week of Skinzy Plus on their own account, also once. Referral days are added to any Skinzy Plus time you already have rather than replacing it. If you hold a lifetime plan there is nothing to extend, so the reward is recorded but adds no time.

Referral rewards have no cash value, cannot be transferred, exchanged, or refunded, and are not a purchase. Referring yourself, creating accounts to refer, or otherwise arranging referrals that are not genuine new users voids the reward, and we may withdraw access to the accounts involved.

We may change or end the referral programme at any time. Days already granted stay on the account they were granted to.

9. Changes, termination, and governing law

We may update these terms as Skinzy develops. Material changes will be reflected in the "last updated" date at the top of this page. Continuing to use Skinzy after a change means you accept the updated terms.

We may suspend or withdraw access if these terms are breached, and we may change or discontinue features at any time while in beta.

Skinzy Plus plans. Every plan is a one-time purchase that never renews. Yearly grants 365 days of Skinzy Plus, and the 30-day pass, sold in India only, grants 30 days; buying again adds those days to any Skinzy Plus time you already have. “Lifetime” means Skinzy Plus on the account that bought it for as long as Skinzy operates the service, including features added later; it is personal to that account and cannot be transferred, resold, or shared. Features listed on the Pricing page as “Coming” are plans, not part of what a purchase buys until they ship.

These terms are governed by the laws of India, and the courts of India will have jurisdiction over any dispute.
