Our Mission

Clear skin is an inside job, and we want to help you build better habits so you can put your best face forward.

The Problem

Your face is the first thing someone sees, and we all want to make a good impression, but breakouts happen to all of us.

The average person will experience 1 skin condition in their lifetime with Acne, Rosacea, Psoriasis and Eczema being the most common affecting over 76.5 million people a year.

85% of pre-teens, teens and young adults (ages 12-20) have acne, and 15% of women will still have acne as they go through their 30s.

It's hard to pinpoint how a breakout may have been triggered, and we spend alot of time and money trying to solve the cause - with the Modern Woman spending over $3700 on beauty a year.

I have turned to mobile apps to help me with weight loss, diet management and exercise, so I turned to it once again to find an app for skin.

After weeks of downloading and testing different skin apps - I found that there wasn't one that served what I needed - a full-body approach.

I didn't want to be sold a product, or track a medical condition with pictures

I wanted an easy to use app, that tracked the progress of my skin overtime and gave me recommendations on things to try - not just products to use.

It is amazing that with over 300,000 health apps in the App Store, this didn't exist yet!

The Solution

Skinary is the answer to the problem I was trying to solve for my acne + eczema.

Daily Features and Functions include:

and more!

This app will be free to download

With a premium upgrade ($9.99 monthly or $29.99 annually) you get access to all of our current and upcoming premium features.

Our Campaign Goal

So far, I have self-funded all costs for legal, incorporations, prototyping, part of development, etc. And now I need some help!

We are raising to cover the remaining Operational costs to make our goal to launch this Fall! Just in time for back to school!

Operational expenses we are hoping to cover with this campaign include:

- Development 

Average app development costs about 5x what we we need! We were able to reduce cost by thoughtful partnerships, lean teams, and doing all prototyping and research in-house

- Paid Marketing

Important for getting the word out farther than my friends and family

- Some Freelance help

We do everything we can in-house, but we will need to hire professionals for a few things!
