The unbiased AI and data layer for skin health.
On the surface, Clear is a free mobile app where consumers track routines, products and selfies, get brand-agnostic recommendations, and learn from others in the community. Underneath, we’re building a vertically focused AI/data platform that helps consumers, clinicians, and brands understand what actually works, for whom, and why. The skincare industry is worth over $200B globally, yet it still runs largely on guesswork: consumers waste money on trial-and-error, brands lack real-world evidence, and dermatologists have limited visibility into day-to-day product use and outcomes. Clear is brand-agnostic, data-rich, and community-driven. Every routine log, product review, and progress update helps create a unique longitudinal dataset across skin concerns, routines, and outcomes - powering better decisions for users and better innovation for the wider industry. We were the 2022 L’Oréal Beauty Tech for Good winners, have been recognised by Beiersdorf, and have been featured multiple times by Apple, including App of the Day and Best New Apps.
Clear is a social skincare app that provides a community-driven platform for tracking skincare routines, sharing progress, and receiving product recommendations. It combines user-generated insights with access to dermatology consultations via partner offerings to help users manage their skin health.
The app allows users to join for free, track their skincare routine with progress pictures, and share or receive community-driven product recommendations. It supports documenting skin types and experiences, and mentions integration with dermatologist consultations (skindoc) for expert care. The experience emphasizes a social, community-based approach to skincare and routine tracking across iOS and Android devices.
Who it’s for: Individuals seeking a community-driven, track-and-discuss skincare experience and those looking for access to dermatologist consultations through partnered services.
App store ratings mentioned (4.9 on App Store, Google Play), partnership with dermatology service (skindoc), mentions of joining and premium offerings, indicating active user growth and potential partnerships.
