How it works

No mystery. Just method.

Dermavitas shows its work. Every recommendation traces back to something you told us — and you can change any answer to watch the routine adapt.

1. A single photo

One selfie in natural light gives us surface signals — visible shine, texture, and tone distribution. We never make medical assessments from your photo, and you can skip it entirely.

2. Six questions

Skin type, top goals, sensitivities, sunscreen habits, how much routine you actually want, and your budget band. That's the whole intake — about forty seconds.

3. The routine engine

Your answers map to ingredient families, then to product categories, then to an application order. Sensitivities lower active strength and frequency before anything is suggested.

4. Scan My Shelf

Photograph what you already own. We slot each product into the right step, flag conflicts like retinal under an acid, and tell you what's genuinely missing.

5. Should I Buy This?

Before you spend, check any product against your routine. You get a plain-language verdict, what it would replace, and whether it duplicates something you own.

What we will never do

  • Diagnose a condition, or imply that a cosmetic product treats one.
  • Recommend a prescription-strength active or suggest you obtain one.
  • Sell your photo or personal data, ever.
  • Hide why a product was recommended.

Questions

Common questions.

How long does the analysis take?+

Under 60 seconds. One selfie plus six questions, and the routine is generated immediately — no account, no email, no payment.

Do I need to upload a selfie?+

No. The photo sharpens the read on visible surface signals like shine and texture, but you can skip it and still get a full routine from your answers alone.

What exactly do I get back?+

A sequenced AM and PM routine: which ingredient categories to use, the order to apply them in, how often to use each active, and why each step is there. Product types and budget bands, not a single brand.

Is this medical advice?+

No. Dermavitas is cosmetic guidance only and does not diagnose, treat, or prevent any condition. For acne that isn't improving, rosacea, eczema, painful or spreading skin, or any changing mole, see a licensed dermatologist.

How is this different from a brand's skin quiz?+

A brand quiz has to end at that brand's shelf. Dermavitas sells no skincare, so results are ingredient-led and you can buy anywhere, including the drugstore.

What if I already own a lot of products?+

Use Scan My Shelf (Premium). It maps what you own into your routine and flags duplicates and conflicting actives, so the fix is usually rearranging rather than buying.
