Product memory

Remember what you’ve used.

“I know I've tried this before. I just don't remember when.” A shelf that keeps the answer.

Sample products

Your shelf is not a wish list or a catalogue. It is a record of what you actually use, and for how long, with the dates attached.

The Skin Memory home screen: Today's Routine with six products, two ticked off, a nine-day streak and a skin goal of reducing redness.

Adding a product

Three ways in, all confirmed by you.

However a product arrives on your shelf, you check the details before it is saved.

  • Search by name

    Find it in Open Beauty Facts, a public product database, and confirm the details. What you type is sent there to look it up.

  • Take two photos

    Photograph the front of the product and its ingredient list. Both are read on your phone, nothing is uploaded, and you check and edit what it filled in.

  • Enter it yourself

    Type the brand and product name. Ingredients are optional.

What each product keeps

What each product remembers.

  • Brand and name

    As printed on the pack, or as you know it.

  • Ingredients

    Optional. Paste them in or type them if you like to have them to hand.

  • A role

    What it is for in your routine. Nine to choose from.

  • Morning

    For the start of the day.

  • Night

    For the end of it. Or choose both.

  • Date added

    The one detail that is hard to reconstruct later.

Roles: Cleanser, Moisturiser, Sunscreen, Treatment, Exfoliant, Eye cream, Toner, Mask, Other.

Over time

In use, paused, dropped.

A product's status changes, and each change is dated, so the shelf you had in March is still recoverable in September.

  • In use

    Part of your routine right now. It appears on your daily list.

  • Paused

    On hold. Perhaps you are giving your skin a rest, or the season changed.

  • Dropped

    Finished with it. It stays in your record, so “did I try that?” has an answer.

Your routine

A shelf becomes a routine.

The Routine tab splits your products into morning and evening, in the order you use them.

Tick it off, or don't.

Mark products as done through the day, or all at once. You never have to log every day, and gaps are fine.

Reminders you set.

Choose a morning and an evening time, and which days. Turn them off whenever you like.

Two of the same?

If you add a second active product with the same role, the app mentions it, in case that is not what you meant. You can carry on regardless.

The Routine tab: a Morning Routine of four products, two ticked, with Morning and Evening tabs and a Mark All Complete button.
Made-up sample data. It plays by itself; tap to take over.

Your skin has a history. Start keeping it.
