Know what's in your skincare

SkinScore analyses every ingredient in a product's INCI list across five dimensions: efficacy (proven actives like retinol, niacinamide, vitamin C), safety (allergens, irritants, EU-restricted substances), comedogenicity (pore-clogging risk), transparency (full ingredient disclosure, certifications), and skin-type fit. Each dimension is scored and combined into a final A-to-E grade.

Yes. SkinScore does not accept payment from brands to influence ratings. Our scoring methodology is fully transparent and based on EU CosIng data, SCCS safety opinions, and peer-reviewed dermatological research. We may earn affiliate commissions from retailer links, but this never affects product scores.

INCI (International Nomenclature of Cosmetic Ingredients) is the standardised naming system for cosmetic ingredients used worldwide. Every skincare product sold in the EU must display its full INCI list on the packaging. SkinScore decodes these scientific names into plain language so you understand exactly what you're putting on your skin.
