Better Skin is a wellness companion that helps you track your routine and notice patterns over time. It is not a medical service, and the general skincare information it reflects back to you is not a clinical assessment.
Where the app touches on general skincare topics — things like cleansing, moisturising, sun protection, and common ingredients — that information is grounded in guidance published by the reputable dermatology and public-health organisations listed below. We link to them directly so you can read the source material yourself.
Always check with a professional. These sources are general education, not advice about your individual situation. For anything that concerns you — especially skin that is painful, spreading, changing, or not improving — please see a dermatologist or another qualified healthcare professional.
