I want a beauty analysis focused on [ANALYSIS GOAL]. My relevant details are [SKIN OR HAIR PROFILE], and the products, ingredients, images, or links to assess are [ITEMS TO ANALYZE]. My constraints are [BUDGET, ALLERGIES, AND PREFERENCES]. I am located in [COUNTRY OR REGION]. Work as a cautious beauty researcher, not as a dermatologist or a source of appearance ratings. Do not judge my attractiveness, estimate age, diagnose a condition, or make claims from an image that cannot be supported. If my goal concerns irritation, acne, hair loss, pigmentation, a changing mole, pregnancy, prescription treatment, or a persistent condition, explain what a qualified clinician should assess. Produce:
1. A short restatement of my goal and the assumptions you are making. 2. A table for each item: useful ingredients or design features, likely fit for my profile, meaningful drawbacks, interaction or irritation risks, and who should avoid it. 3. An evidence review that separates established evidence, limited evidence, marketing claims, and unknowns. Cite reliable sources by organization, article or guidance title, and URL; do not fabricate citations. 4. A ranked, practical plan with no more than three product or routine changes, patch-test instructions, introduction order, and a realistic evaluation window. 5. A section called “Questions for a professional” if the information points to a medical or safety concern. Before answering, check that every product claim is supported by an ingredient list, source, or clearly labeled inference. Flag uncertainty where formulation, concentration, packaging, or my history could change the conclusion. Ask up to 3 clarifying questions only if a required input is missing.
Fill in
| Placeholder | What to enter | Example |
|---|---|---|
| [ANALYSIS GOAL] | State what you want to improve or decide, such as reducing dryness or choosing between two sunscreens. | Choose a daily sunscreen that will not worsen dryness or leave a strong white cast. |
| [SKIN OR HAIR PROFILE] | Describe relevant skin type, hair type, sensitivities, routine, and known reactions. | Dry, reactive skin; occasional eczema around the nose; currently use a gentle cleanser and ceramide moisturizer. |
| [ITEMS TO ANALYZE] | Paste product names, full ingredient lists, product links, or a description of the routine to compare. | La Roche-Posay Anthelios UVMune 400 Invisible Fluid and Beauty of Joseon Relief Sun; compare current ingredient lists from their official pages. |
| [BUDGET, ALLERGIES, AND PREFERENCES] | List spending limits, allergies, ingredients to avoid, and preferences such as fragrance-free or vegan. | Up to $25 per bottle, fragrance-free preferred, avoid essential oils; no known allergies. |
| [COUNTRY OR REGION] | Enter where you shop so availability and product labeling can be considered. | United States |
How to use
- Paste official ingredient lists or product links instead of relying on retailer summaries.
- Include a recent, makeup-free photo only if visual context is relevant; do not expect the AI to diagnose from it.
- Check the evidence section before accepting a product claim, especially claims about active-ingredient strength.
- Follow up with: “Turn the recommended plan into a four-week schedule and list signs that mean I should stop.”
Variations
Routine audit
Use this when you want to find overlap or irritation risks in a complete routine.
Audit my skincare routine for unnecessary duplication, likely irritation, and missing basics. My skin profile is [SKIN PROFILE]. My morning routine is [AM ROUTINE], and my evening routine is [PM ROUTINE]. Produce a step-by-step keep, pause, replace, or optional table. Identify active-ingredient conflicts, frequency problems, and products whose benefits overlap. Recommend changes in priority order, retaining products where possible. Do not diagnose conditions or invent ingredient details; flag any product that needs a current ingredient list. Check that your plan introduces only one meaningful change at a time.
Ingredient comparison
Use this when choosing between two products with similar marketing claims.
Compare [PRODUCT A] and [PRODUCT B] for [GOAL] and [SKIN OR HAIR PROFILE]. Use current official ingredient lists that I provide here: [INGREDIENT LISTS OR LINKS]. Return a side-by-side table covering functional ingredients, likely tolerability, formulation unknowns, and price per use if prices are supplied. End with a conditional recommendation explaining exactly which user should choose each option. Separate evidence from marketing language and flag claims that cannot be verified from the lists.
Salon consultation
Use this before a haircut, color appointment, or protective-style consultation.
Help me prepare for a salon consultation about [SERVICE GOAL]. My current hair history is [HAIR HISTORY], my texture and maintenance tolerance are [HAIR PROFILE], and my reference images or descriptions are [REFERENCES]. Give me a one-page brief with desired result, non-negotiables, questions to ask, maintenance commitment, and realistic risks. Explain where my reference look may depend on density, texture, styling, or color history. Do not promise an exact result from photos. Check that the request includes a strand-test or damage discussion when chemical processing is involved.
Tips
- Use official ingredient lists because retailer pages and old reviews often show discontinued formulas.
- For a sensitive routine, change one product at a time and keep a brief reaction log for at least a week before adding another variable.
- “Non-comedogenic” is not a guarantee for an individual; evaluate texture, routine layering, and your own reaction history.
- Ask for the evidence tier behind claims about peptides, oils, or botanical extracts, where marketing frequently outruns evidence.
FAQ
Can AI analyze my face from a photo?
It can describe visible styling choices, but it should not rate attractiveness, diagnose skin conditions, or make confident claims about age or ethnicity from an image.
Can it tell me which ingredients will cause a breakout?
No ingredient can predict an individual reaction with certainty. It can identify common irritants or heavy layering patterns, but patch testing and gradual introduction matter.
Are AI beauty recommendations medical advice?
No. Persistent rashes, severe acne, hair loss, pigment changes, and suspected allergies need assessment by an appropriate clinician.
