About DermLens AI

What DermLens AI does

AI skin analysis

You take a selfie in natural light. DermLens maps over 150 facial points — texture, pores, tone, hydration and fine lines — and returns a Skin Score, a biological Skin Age, and a radar across five metrics: Condition, Hydration, Tone, Texture and Barrier. The result is a clear picture of what your skin is actually doing, rather than a guess based on how it feels that morning.

Scalp and hair analysis

Three photos — hairline, crown and part line — produce a scalp health score from 1 to 100, read from density, flaking, redness, oil, build-up and shaft condition. The score moves only when the photos do. DermLens does not count follicles, name a condition or stage hair loss, because a phone camera cannot honestly do those things.

Personalised daily routines

Every routine is built around eight inputs: your goals, ethnic background, age and life stage, allergies and sensitivities, time outdoors, how many minutes you realistically have, and your budget. You get an AM and PM routine with ingredient breakdowns and shopping links, at the price range you set — from drugstore to luxury.

Progress tracking and the Skin Journal

Mark routine steps done, build a streak, and re-scan whenever you want. The Skin Journal stacks every scan side by side so change is visible over months rather than guessed at from the mirror.

Ask DermLens AI

A built-in AI you can ask anything about your routine — "can I layer retinol with niacinamide?", "is this serum safe while I'm pregnant?" — answered in the context of the routine you were actually given, not generic advice.

Face yoga

Guided facial exercise sequences targeting specific areas — forehead, brows, under-eyes, cheeks, jaw — for people who want a non-product habit alongside their routine.

What makes DermLens AI different

No prescription, no medical gate, no waiting

Skin + Me (£29.99 per month) and Dermatica (£18.67–£24.99 per month) are prescription services: you complete a consultation, a clinician assesses you, and a prescription formulation is posted out. DermLens recommends over-the-counter products only and returns your analysis in minutes. That is a deliberate trade-off — less clinical authority, far less friction.

It costs less than every comparable service

DermLens is £7.99 a month, or £59.99 a year, which works out at about £5 a month. That is roughly a sixth of Skin + Me's monthly price and under a third of Dermatica's, and it includes hair as well as skin.

No hardware to buy

Lumeria sells the Lumoscope, a $299 multi-spectrum attachment that clips onto your phone, plus a $10 per month premium tier for trends and coaching. DermLens works with the phone camera you already own. Nothing to buy, nothing to wait for, nothing to carry.

Skin and hair in one subscription

Skin + Me, Dermatica and most AI skin apps analyse the face only. A DermLens subscription covers both a facial scan and a three-angle scalp scan, with separate routines for each, at no extra cost.

We say plainly what we are not

DermLens does not diagnose. If you have a mole that has changed, a rash that will not settle, or anything that worries you, a service like MySkinDoctor — where CQC-regulated consultant dermatologists return a diagnosis and management plan within three working days — or your own GP is the right route, and we will say so inside the app. DermLens is for the routine, the tracking and the questions in between.

Who uses DermLens AI

• Pregnant and postpartum women navigating hormonal skin changes who need to know what is safe to use right now.
• People in their twenties and thirties with acne, texture or pigmentation concerns who cannot justify the cost of private dermatology for something that is not medically urgent.
• Women in perimenopause and menopause whose skin has changed and whose long-standing routine has stopped working.
• People who want a short routine, not a ten-step one — DermLens builds around the time you say you have.
• People tracking scalp health — flaking, oiliness, build-up or a changing hairline — who want a baseline they can measure against over months.
• Anyone who has spent money on products that did nothing and wants a reason behind each recommendation before buying again.

The team behind DermLens AI

Finding professional guidance during lockdown proved close to impossible, and expensive. Each trimester brought something new — hormonal breakouts, sensitivity, pigmentation shifts — and each answer meant another costly appointment. After her son arrived, postpartum hormonal changes started the search over again.

"Why should getting expert skin advice be so expensive and inaccessible — especially when you need it most?"

DermLens AI is the answer she wanted at the time: a personalised skin and hair analysis that costs less per year than a single private consultation, available at 2am when the question actually occurs to you.

How DermLens AI works

Getting started

Onboarding is four steps and takes a few minutes. Take a selfie in natural light with no filters; add three scalp photos if you want hair analysed too.

Then live with it day to day — mark steps done, ask questions, re-scan whenever you like.

What it costs to try

There is a three-day free trial. After that it is £7.99 a month or £59.99 a year (US $9.99 a month or $79.99 a year). It is a rolling subscription with no minimum term, cancellable at any time from your profile or through the billing portal.

Frequently asked questions

Is DermLens AI a substitute for seeing a dermatologist?

No. DermLens is an educational skincare tool and does not diagnose conditions or prescribe treatment. If you have a mole that has changed, a persistent rash, or any concern that worries you, see a doctor or a dermatologist.

How much does DermLens AI cost?

£7.99 a month or £59.99 a year in the UK, and $9.99 a month or $79.99 a year in the US. There is a three-day free trial, no minimum term, and you can cancel at any time.

Do I need any special equipment?

No. DermLens works with your phone's existing camera — no attachment, dongle or dermatoscope. All it needs is natural light and no filters.

Does DermLens AI recommend prescription treatments?

No. DermLens recommends over-the-counter products only. Where a medicated or clinical option is genuinely worth considering, the app names the category and tells you who to ask, always alongside something you can do without a prescription.

Is it safe to use during pregnancy?

Routines take account of your life stage, including pregnancy and postpartum, and the app flags ingredients commonly avoided at those times. It is not medical advice, so always check with your midwife, GP or dermatologist before starting anything new while pregnant or breastfeeding.

Does it work on all skin tones?

Yes. Ethnic background is one of the eight inputs the analysis uses, so melanin levels, sensitivity patterns and the concerns most common in your skin type are factored into both the scoring and the recommendations.

What happens to my photos?

Face and scalp photos are stored privately and are never made publicly accessible. You can request deletion of your data at any time — full detail is in the Privacy Policy.

Can DermLens analyse hair as well as skin?

Yes, and it is included in the same subscription. Three scalp photos — hairline, crown and part line — produce a scalp health score and a wash-day routine, tracked over months rather than weeks.

Can I cancel at any time?

Yes. It is a rolling subscription with no minimum term, cancellable from your profile or through the billing portal, and you keep access until the end of the period you have paid for.
