Seven cosmetic scores, not one vague verdict
Clarity, Smoothness, Tone, Calmness, Pores, Glow and Eye Area, each with an observation pointing at a real zone on your photo. An overall score sits on top of the seven.
Free on the App Store
AI skin analysis app for iPhone
One selfie becomes seven cosmetic skin scores, a skin age estimate and a personal AM and PM routine, with the photo deleted straight after the analysis.
No account. No email. 11 languages. iOS 26.0 or later.
Dermly is a free iPhone app that turns a single selfie into an AI skin analysis. It returns an overall score, seven cosmetic sub scores (Clarity, Smoothness, Tone, Calmness, Pores, Glow and Eye Area) and a skin age estimate, then builds a personal AM and PM skincare routine and a 12 week trajectory. Every observation points at a real zone on your own photo. Dermly describes appearance only and gives no medical advice.
How a scan works
One photo, three minutes, a plan you can actually follow
Take one selfie
A guided capture screen puts your face in an oval and tells you when the light is too low. One photo in good light is all it takes.
The AI reads the photo
Your selfie is sent once, analyzed by Anthropic Claude, and deleted. Back comes an overall score, seven sub scores, a skin age estimate and a note tied to a real zone on your own face.
Follow a routine you can keep
A short AM and PM routine at the category level, plus a 12 week trajectory showing where consistent care could take those numbers.
From the app
What you actually see after a scan
Seven cosmetic dimensions
What each score is reading
- Clarity
- How even and unblemished the surface looks in the photo.
- Smoothness
- Visible texture: fine lines, roughness, flaking.
- Tone
- How evenly colour is distributed across the face.
- Calmness
- Visible redness and irritation, especially around the nose.
- Pores
- How visible pores are, mostly across the T zone.
- Glow
- Light reflection: dull and flat, or luminous.
- Eye Area
- Shadowing, puffiness and crepiness under the eyes.
What you get
Six things Dermly does, stated plainly
A skin age estimate
One cosmetic number for how your skin presents in the photo. It is an estimate of appearance, not a measurement of your body.
An AM and PM routine at the category level
Cleanser, moisturizer, SPF and proven actives, chosen for what the scan saw and the goal you picked. Dermly names categories, never brands, so nothing is being sold to you.
A 12 week trajectory and weekly rescans
Rescan each week to see score deltas and a photo timeline. The trajectory is a projection of steady care, and the app says so: an estimate, not a guarantee.
Repeatable scoring
The model runs at temperature zero, so the same photo always returns the same numbers. Changes you see across weeks come from your skin, not from the dice.
No account, and the photo does not stay
No email, no sign up, no profile. Your selfie is analyzed once with your consent and then deleted. Scans and photos are kept on your iPhone only.
Free to download. iPhone, iOS 26.0 or later.
Who it is for
Four situations Dermly was built around
You bought a shelf of products and cannot tell what works
Scan before you change anything, then keep scanning weekly. The score deltas and the photo timeline tell you whether the new serum did something or whether you just liked the packaging.
You have never had a routine and every guide has 12 steps
Dermly builds four to six steps split across morning and evening, at the category level. It is the short version, built from your own scan rather than from a generic skin type quiz.
Your skin changed and you want a number, not a feeling
Seven separate scores mean you can see that Tone dropped while Smoothness held. A single overall verdict hides exactly the detail you need.
You will not send your face to a company you do not trust
Fair. Dermly writes out exactly where the photo goes, who processes it, and how long it exists. If that answer does not satisfy you, do not install it.
11 languages
Your skin, described in your own language
Skincare advice is hard to follow in a second language, so Dermly does not ask you to. The interface and the analysis both follow your device language, which means the observations, the routine steps and the reminders come back in the one you think in.

FAQ
Questions people ask before installing
Is there a free app that analyzes my skin from a selfie?
Dermly is free to download from the App Store and needs no account, no email and no sign up. Your full results, the personal AM and PM routine, the 12 week projection and progress tracking require a Dermly Pro subscription, which is 3.99 US dollars per week or 12.99 US dollars per month and renews until you cancel in your iPhone Settings.
How does Dermly analyze my skin?
You take one guided selfie. The app sends it once, with your explicit consent, to the Dermly server, which forwards it to the Anthropic Claude vision model. The model returns an overall score, seven cosmetic sub scores (Clarity, Smoothness, Tone, Calmness, Pores, Glow and Eye Area), a skin age estimate and a suggested AM and PM routine. Each observation points at a specific zone of your own photo.
Does the analysis run on my iPhone or on a server?
On a server. Your selfie is compressed on the phone, sent over an encrypted connection to the Dermly analysis endpoint, and passed once to the Anthropic Claude API. Nothing about the image is written to disk or logged; the server keeps only a status code, a response time and a language tag. After the response comes back, the image is gone from the server. The scores, your photos and your history are then stored on your iPhone only.
Is Dermly medical advice?
No. Dermly gives cosmetic and aesthetic observations about how your skin looks in a photo. It is not a medical device, it performs no diagnosis and it is not a screening tool of any kind. It cannot tell you whether anything on your skin is harmless or serious, and it never tries. If something worries you, changes, hurts or will not heal, book a dermatologist. An app is not a substitute for that appointment.
What happens to my selfie?
It is analyzed once and then deleted. It is never stored on the Dermly servers, never used to train an AI model and never sold. Your scores and routine live only on your iPhone, and the selfies kept for the photo timeline are stored in a folder that is excluded from iCloud and device backups. You can erase all of it from the app settings in one tap.
Which languages does Dermly speak?
Eleven: English, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Brazilian Portuguese, Turkish, Arabic, Japanese, Korean and Simplified Chinese. The interface and the analysis both follow your device language, so the observations and the routine come back in the language you actually think in.
What does Dermly need to run?
An iPhone on iOS 26.0 or later, the camera or a photo from your library, and an internet connection for the analysis itself. It does not analyze offline. Once a scan is done, your results, routine and history are readable on the device without a connection.
