"I know my skin and I know what I want it to look like, but I have no idea how to get there.”
Despite the skincare industry being more saturated than ever, most people still struggle to identify what's actually right for their skin.
My client, Dr. Sola—a dermatological scientist— recognised this challenge early on. He wanted to create a tool that would help people actually understand what works for their unique skin, rather than just categorizing them into generic 'skin types' or pre-existing product buckets.

Working with Dr. Sola, we created MySkin.ai—an AI-powered skincare assessment that treats users as experts on their own skin.
The tool acknowledges their expertise and experiences through comprehensive questioning, provides a personalised dashboard that reflects their unique journey, and delivers ingredient recommendations backed by scientific explanations. Rather than categorising users into generic buckets, we built an experience that makes people feel genuinely heard and understood.

The user flow itself was straightforward: skin assessment —> personalised dashboard —> personalised recommendations. But the real challenge was crafting the questions themselves.
Dr. Sola came from a rigorous scientific background and had certain requirements to build the recommendation engine. However, we were ultimately building a consumer product. A fine balance had to be struck between scientific accuracy and user-friendliness.

Since the core experience would be the assessment questions, I built the questions as a simple survey and tested them directly with users. While some feedback addressed question clarity and answer options, the most important insights focused on ensuring sensitive questions (e.g. ethnicity, gender, hormones) were framed inclusively. Using this feedback, Dr. Sola and I refined the questions and built the final assessment flow.

Results were extremely positive—feedback showed that users genuinely felt understood, educated, and empowered.
