Quick context: this is a soft launch — app's been live a few weeks, I'm posting here mostly for honest feedback from people who've shipped consumer apps. Not expecting top-of-day rankings or big numbers.
The story:
I have acne-prone skin and I've wasted maybe $800 over the years on products that made it worse. Every scanner app I tried gave me the same answer everyone else gets. Yuka tells me CeraVe is excellent. So does the person with rosacea. Same answer to a personal question.
Glo is built differently:
1. After 3 onboarding scans, the app infers your sensitivities from ingredient patterns across products — before any manual input.
2. It scans your routine, not just products. Caught me layering retinol + salicylic acid for 4 months without realizing I was wrecking my barrier.
3. Rate a product "made me break out" and Glo extracts the comedogenic ingredients and re-scores every future scan against your specific reactions. The longer you use it, the smarter it gets.
Tech: React Native + Supabase + Gemini 2.5 Flash. Built solo over the last few months.
Where I'd love feedback (be honest):
- Does the day-1 insight after 3 scans actually land?
- Is the 7-day trial the right friction point?
- The name. Already a Glo Yoga and a Glo Skin Coach exist. Should I rename?
App is free to try. DMs open.
