1. 5/5App fixed!

   Recently left a review with concern over the refine & sort by feature not working correctly on my phone. The next update included a correction for this. I have never had a company actually pay attention to a complaint like that and correct it. They corrected it faster than I could even respond to their inquiry about my issue. I was not expecting someone to reach out about it, so I was not actively looking in my messages. Anyways, the point is I can now use this app on the go and the refining feature works flawlessly! Thanks! I really depend on this app for a quick reference. Now that I can use the app fully it is worth every penny! I have changed almost all products I was previously using, SkinSafe really made that transition possible. Having a list of 100 ingredients you are allergic to, each with 100 different names, makes it difficult to constantly cross check everything, but SkinSafe does that for you, and that’s invaluable. It has saved me so much time. I haven’t had any issues with the accuracy of ingredients, they seem to update those as well, quite frequently. All the irritation and breakouts I was experiencing before are now completed cleared. Now I use the app mostly for maintenance for when my products are out of stock, it helps find an alternative. If I scan an item that ends up not being safe for me, SkinSafe shows you similar products that are safe, which is great! Anyway thanks again for the update!

2. 1/5💲All they want is MONEY ❗️

   I have had various unexplained rashes and itchy patches since I was a teen. I am almost 70 now! Told to try numerous tactics to try and alleviate them. Everything from OTC dandruff ‘remedies’ to various prescriptions along the way. I finally had a ALLERGY PATCH TEST done by a dermatologist and it identified 4 skin ingredients that irritate my skin. The dermatologist recommended this website for checking products’ ingredients so I can avoid my allergies. WONDERFUL! Finally on the right track, or so I thought. I was scanning multiple products at the store and the many things that I already owned. Only had been on this site for about 2 weeks when a pop up said that I had reached their limit for the number of scans, and that I was now limited to 1scan per day☹️ Of course I was ‘encouraged’ of get the premium version of the app, for a fee. Now, a few days later, I can’t even view the products that I have already scanned without ‘upgrading’ to the paid version of the app❗️. 😡 The Dermatologist did not mention that the “FREE” app only works for a small amount of time. Nor does the App Store site provide any sort of information except “IN APP PURCHASES”. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS APP❗️❗️(Especially now that it’s holding my already scanned product searches hostage unless I pay up)

3. 3/5Needs work

   As a newer eczema sufferer this app is helpful but there are a few features I wish it had. I’m a UX designer for reference so these aren’t just from a user perspective. - Ability to add a product without scanning: this would be with a credible link, photo, and the ingredient list. I think this would increase the availability for people to add products and be more helpful in the long run. - The date the product was added: ingredients change in products all the time, and it would be helpful to know when a product was updated or validated, or both, so we can see how accurate the ingredients are today. If the product is added later with a different list, the product could just update accordingly. - On the note of ingredient lists, I wish it would keep the list as a normal list, and in order that they’re listed on the product. - In terms of the tags/call outs: if it says it’s not safe for eyelids let’s say, it would be helpful for the app to identify which ingredient(s) are getting flagged. This is helpful so we don’t have to click on each individual ingredient.

4. 5/5Love this app after 1 Day of using it!

   I just finished my patch test this week, and my dermatologist added my results into the database. She told me to download the app which would then allow me to scan product- barcodes and find what products aren’t safe for me and safe alternatives. The app works extremely well and is an easy to use format! (I have an iPhone SE) It looks like there was an update two days ago (March 2, 2023) that has addressed many previous reviewer’s issues and desires :-) A couple of shampoo and soap bars I scanned at Whole Foods were not in the database; the app allowed me to easily take photos of the product and add them for review. I, like many others I’m allergic to propylene glycol, which is in so many products! This app has already made my life easier as I navigate the beauty world for safe-for-me products! ❤️😀 Thank you!

5. 3/5Better since update - but still needs improvement

   I appreciate that the app now tells you which ingredients in a product are unsafe for you instead of just telling you the product is unsafe. I do wish they would do a better job of auditing / combining submissions. I search for facial cleaners for example and it looks like there are 150 results that are safe for me when in reality there may be a third of that. The same products are listed over and over again, some because one is the 3 oz versus the 8 oz and some because an extra word was added in a submission (I.e. hydrating facial cleanser versus facial cleanser) even though it is the same product. Very frustrating to scroll through all the duplicates. Ideally they would allow for custom lists as well. After scrolling through all those duplicates, if I find a product I want to try I would like to add it to a list so I don’t have to search for it again. The only two options currently are use daily or got a reaction. I use favorites for something I’ve used and like whether I am currently using or not.
