Everything you need to know about our product scoring and ingredient checking tool.
What is DemythSkin and how does it work?
DemythSkin is an advanced free skincare ingredient analyzer/ ingredient checker / cosmetic ingredient scanner. Our AI reads the full INCI ingredient list of any cosmetic product and cross-references it with clinical data. We instantly break down what each ingredient does, grade the formula, and generate an easy-to-read report card so you know exactly what you are putting on your face.
Can I use this as a pore-clogging ingredients checker?
Yes. If you struggle with acne or breakouts, our tool acts as a strict non-comedogenic ingredient checker. We scan the formula for heavy waxes, comedogenic oils, and known acne triggers, flagging them instantly so you can build a truly acne-safe skincare routine.
How do the Efficacy and Safety scores work?
Every product receives a brutally honest score out of 5.0. The Efficacy Score measures if the product contains enough "Gold Standard" active ingredients to actually work. The Safety Score acts as a skincare toxicity scale, penalizing products that use harsh alcohols, volatile essential oils, or potential allergens.
Can DemythSkin help me find skincare dupes?
Absolutely. If a luxury serum gets a low efficacy score or has a terrible price-to-performance ratio, our skincare dupes finder algorithm will suggest highly-rated alternatives. We point you toward more affordable products that contain the same (or better) active ingredients.
Are these cosmetic ratings biased by brands?
Never. DemythSkin is a 100% independent clean beauty checker. We do not accept brand sponsorships to alter scores. A product's grade is determined solely by the scientific data backing its ingredient list.
