Is the AI Genie useful or just hype?

It knows ingredient pairings, K-beauty routines, product dupes, purge vs. breakout differences, and can build custom routines in seconds. It won't give medical advice — for that, see a derm — but for everyday beauty questions it's faster and smarter than scrolling Reddit.

App Features — How FaceCutie Works

Q: Is FaceCutie really free?

Yes — completely free. No hidden fees, credit card, or trial timer. We earn a small commission when you buy products we recommend via Amazon, which keeps FaceCutie running without charging you.

Q: Do I need to sign up?

No sign-up is required. You can optionally give us your email to save your routine and get weekly beauty tips — but only if you want to come back to your recommendations later.

Questions

You asked, we answered

Is FaceCutie really free?

Yes — completely free. No hidden fees, no credit card, no trial timer. We earn a small commission when you buy products we recommend via Amazon, which keeps FaceCutie running without charging you.

What happens to my selfie?

Your photo is sent to our AI provider (Anthropic Claude) for analysis and then discarded — we never store your image. Everything you log in your Skin Tracker (photos, routines, products) stays in your browser on your device.

How accurate is the skin score?

The AI analyses your skin across five real categories — hydration, glow, clarity, evenness, and texture — using the same visual cues dermatologists use. It's not medical-grade, but thousands of users report it matches (and sometimes catches things they missed). Always see a dermatologist for medical concerns.

Do I need to sign up?

Nope. Just open the app and start. You can optionally give us your email to save your routine — but only if you want weekly beauty tips and the ability to come back to your recommendations later.

Is the AI Genie really useful or just hype?

It knows ingredient pairings, K-beauty routines, product dupes, purge vs. breakout differences, and can build you a custom morning routine in seconds. It won't give medical advice — for that, see a derm — but for everyday beauty questions it's faster and smarter than Reddit.

Does the app work on desktop?

Yes, but it really shines on mobile — especially for taking selfies with the front camera and scanning product labels. You can also add it to your home screen like a native app.
