Goal: Build a realistic MVP that our group can demo: quiz → routine → product tracker → progress log.

Vision

What we want this app to feel like

Luxury + Minimal

Clean UI, calm colors, easy steps. Not overwhelming, not cluttered.

Personal + Safe

Recommendations are personalized, but always educational and non-medical.

Practical MVP

We can build a working demo with structured inputs and consistent outputs.

The Problem

Why people need this

Skincare is confusing

People see trends, buy random products, and mix ingredients incorrectly. This causes irritation, wasted money, and inconsistent results.

  • Too many product choices and conflicting advice
  • No clear routine structure (AM vs PM)
  • Ingredient conflicts and overuse of actives
  • No tracking to see what is actually working
AI skin analysis concept

The Solution

What SkincareAI does

Personalized routine builder

Users take a short quiz (skin type, concerns, sensitivity) and receive a simple AM/PM routine. The app explains why each step matters.

  • AM: cleanser → treatment → moisturizer → SPF
  • PM: cleanser → treatment → moisturizer
  • Rules for sensitive skin and “start slow” guidance

Product compatibility + tracking

Users add products they already own. The app warns about common conflicts and helps schedule actives safely (ex: alternating nights).

  • Basic ingredient tags and “AM/PM” suggestions
  • Conflicts: too many strong actives at once
  • Weekly check-ins to track progress

Core Features

What we will build for the final project

1) Skin Profile Quiz

Collect skin type, concerns, sensitivity, and routine goals.

  • Combo / oily / dry
  • Acne, dark spots, dryness
  • Sensitivity & irritation flag

2) Routine Generator

Creates a structured AM/PM routine with clear steps.

  • Simple and consistent
  • Explains each step
  • Adapts based on feedback

3) Product Tracker

Users add products they own and track usage over time.

  • Product list + notes
  • Schedule actives
  • Compatibility warnings

User Flow

How a user would move through the app

Flow (simple)

  • 1) User creates profile
  • 2) Takes skin quiz
  • 3) Receives AM/PM routine
  • 4) Adds products
  • 5) Tracks progress weekly
AI use: AI summarizes the profile and explains routine suggestions clearly.

Design goals

  • Minimal steps, no clutter
  • Soft beige palette
  • Clear typography (Playfair + Inter)
  • High trust and safety messaging

MVP Plan

Realistic and demo-ready

MVP scope

  • Profile + quiz
  • Routine generator (AM/PM)
  • Product tracker list
  • Basic compatibility warnings
  • Weekly progress check-in
Deliverable: A working demo website with a clean UI and a clear user journey.

Ethics & Safety

  • No medical diagnosis
  • Educational guidance only
  • Clear disclaimers
  • User controls: sensitivity mode
Important: “If symptoms are severe, consult a dermatologist.”

Pitch to My Group

Why we should build this

Clear value

Personalization + simplicity solves a real everyday problem.

Buildable MVP

We can deliver a demo within the project timeline.

Looks professional

Great UI + real concept = strong final presentation.

Next step: Assign roles (UI, data/rules, AI prompt logic, testing) and create the MVP screens.
