Understanding the Product Page

This article walks you through each section you’ll see and how to use it.

Product Overview

At the top of the page, you’ll see the brand name, product name, and an image showing the latest known packaging. This helps you confirm that you are viewing the correct product.

You’ll also find a brief description that includes the product category such as cleanser, moisturizer, or serum, the total number of ingredients, and notable ingredients in the formula.

From here, you can save the product to your routine or shelves, or compare it with other products.

Match Score

The Match Score shows how well the product aligns with your skin profile. It is calculated based on your skin type, concerns, ingredient preferences, and lifestyle considerations.

A higher score means the product is more likely to suit your skin.

You can learn more in our article on how SkinSort determines the match score.

Where to Buy

SkinSort does not sell products directly, and this section lists available retailers where you can purchase the product. Clicking a link will take you directly to the retailer’s site.

What’s Inside

This section provides a quick snapshot of key product tags, such as whether the product is fragrance-free, alcohol-free, vegan, cruelty-free, silicone-free, or fungal acne-safe.

These tags are especially helpful for users managing sensitivities or specific preferences. Clicking a tag opens a short explanation of what it means and which ingredients influence it.
