The Problem

People with common skin concerns often cannot tell whether they are dealing with blackheads, sebaceous filaments, dehydration, hyperpigmentation, KP, rosacea-like redness, or acne marks. They post photos and product questions online because the next action is unclear and dermatology access can be expensive or slow. The repeated workflow is not diagnosis alone, but deciding what products to stop, keep, add, or avoid.

Potential Solution

Start as a paid remote skincare audit run by a licensed esthetician or dermatology-trained provider, using intake forms, skin photos, current routine details, allergies, budget, and product preferences. The deliverable is a simple routine plan, product substitution list, patch-testing guidance, and referral triggers for cases that need medical care. Over time, the service can productize templates for recurring concern clusters like pores, post-acne marks, KP, and sunscreen-sensitive redness.

Why Now?

Skincare communities show constant demand for personalized routine interpretation, while consumers are overwhelmed by product options and algorithmic advice. A service can launch without building software first by using forms, secure photo upload, and structured PDF recommendations.

[Routine Help] In need of product/routine recommendations

r/SkincareAddictionJul 22, 2026

Hello! I am looking for a skincare routine that will help me improve the look and feel of my skin. For context, I suffer from combo(oily t-zone), sensitive/reactive, seb derm skin. I have not had any success finding something that works! I’ve also noticed that the current face wash I use (vanicream) doesn’t clean my skin well or get rid of dead skin/build up.
