Problem
Most skincare reviews are generic and don't apply to individual skin conditions, while many recommendations are biased or sponsored. People cycle through dozens of products before finding what actually helps because advice from someone with similar skin—such as eczema, rosacea, or sensitivity—is hard to find.
Solution
Kinsie connects users with real people whose skin matches theirs across six dimensions, enabling them to share routines and honest product reviews. The platform calculates a Prediction Score based on peer outcomes, showing how likely a user might like a product. Kinsie also performs ingredient-level analysis, checking formulas against a user's skin type, sensitivities, goals, and conditions, flagging potential irritants and scoring products from Poor to Excellent. Users can log their current routines, track skin changes over time, and sort products into loves, hates, and maybes lists. The platform strips incentivized reviews, only counting outcomes from real people logging real routines.
Target Audience
Primary users are skincare consumers with specific conditions such as eczema, rosacea, or sensitivity who are seeking product recommendations from people with genuinely similar skin profiles.
