SQIN

Every skin is unique and is the most important barrier for your health. Therefore it is important to protect and support it. However, most people don’t even know what they need for healthy skin.
To solve that problem, we created a personalized AI skin advisor app, supporting our users over lifetime. The SQIN app helps them to find and define the best routines, habits, products and services.
Additionally, we enable our users to get 24/7 professional live feedback for urgent skin health issues, instead of waiting for a dermatologist appointment for months.

Our MVP included 120.000 Users. We proved our model with great Retentions (D7 20%) and outstanding conversions (e.g.65% recurring paying customers).

From that learning we added a strong e-Health funnel now, to guarantee a sustainable growth and currently testing it with 1000 users)

Every skin is unique and is the most important barrier for your health. Therefore it is important to protect and support it. Most people don't even know what they need for healthy skin. Because of that, our personal AI skin advisor helps them to find and define the best routines, habits, products and services.

Modiface (B2B focus, no community and not independent), revieve (B2B focus, no community and over time tracking), Skin guide (Just a website skin scan, no specific user data, no community, not independent ), Perfect Corp (Mainly focused on community and decorative cosmetics with try ons and not on „beauty fitness program“ based on e-health), Curology (Produkt e-Commerce with own products and direkt product recommendation through dermatologist; Curology doesn’t use Machine Learning, just website questionnaire and direkt interaction with dermatologist, and is limited by the derma market [especially acne])

Our main innovation is our user centric B2C mobile platform with advanced machine learning.
Besides that, there is no skin health tracking mobile app until now.
