Understand your skin. Know your products. Track visible results.

Even when that means buying nothing.

Steeped is an iPhone app. AI skin analysis shows you where your skin is today, it reads the ingredients in the products you already use, and it helps you keep a simple routine long enough to see what changes.

The problem

Skincare advice is loud, and most of it is selling something.

  1. 01

    Too many voices

    Ten-step routines, ingredient trends, a new must-have every week. Most people end up guessing.

  2. 02

    The answer is usually “buy more”

    Brands and retailers earn more when you add a product, so adding is what they recommend. Many skincare apps work the same way.

  3. 03

    No way to tell what’s working

    Change five things at once and you never learn which one mattered. Skin changes slowly, over weeks, not days.

How Steeped works

Scan once. Use what you have. Give it time.

  1. 1

    Scan your skin

    Take one photo. AI skin analysis from a third-party provider looks at 11 skin concerns and your skin type, and Steeped explains what it sees in plain language, starting with the areas to watch.

    Your face photo is sent to our analysis provider. It’s stored on our servers only if you opt in.

    Observations from one photo, not a diagnosis.

    Steeped's scan result: a blurred skin highlight map with concern chips, and a summary that reads: Mostly steady skin, with redness and texture to watch.
  2. 2

    Start with what you already use

    Add the products on your shelf, morning and evening. Steeped reads each ingredient list from a photo of the label, then reviews your routine product by product: keep, watch or change, with no more than two changes at a time.

    “Your routine is mostly fine” is a complete answer.

    The daily loop

    Check off your morning and evening steps each day, with optional reminders and no streak pressure.

Honest by design

Tonight, do less.

Steeped is built to be able to recommend against buying. It can tell you to skip a step tonight, only suggests buying when a basic is missing, like sunscreen, and never names a brand.

  • Skipping is a real recommendation

    When a routine rule fires, Today shows it plainly: “Retinoid night — skip exfoliating acids tonight.” Or: “You exfoliated last night — a rest night is fine.”

  • No buying language

    Plans that tell you to buy or switch brands are rejected before you ever see them. The one exception: if a basic like sunscreen is missing, Steeped will say so.

  • Clear about its limits

    “This isn’t medical advice. A dermatologist knows your skin best.”

The steeping journey

Results take weeks. Steeped is built for the wait.

Progress is counted in consistent days, any day you check off at least one step, across a 28-day steep. It isn’t a streak, so missing a day doesn’t reset anything.

  1. First Pour

    Days 0–6

    Your routine is new. Your first scan sets the baseline.

  2. Unfurling

    7 consistent days

    A week of showing up. Nothing dramatic yet, and that’s expected.

  3. Deepening

    14 consistent days

    Two weeks in. A rescan starts to show what’s moving.

  4. Full Steep

    21+ consistent days

    “Your routine is settled.”

Where we are

Real progress, nothing more.

Done

  • Brand identity finished: logo, mark and icon system (v1.2).
  • steepedskin.com live, with a working waitlist.
  • iPhone app built as a pre-launch MVP, now in TestFlight testing.
  • In private testing: onboarding, face scan and report, routine builder with on-device label reading, the routine review, Today with check-offs and the steeping journey, My Skin, reminders, and Sign in with Apple.

Next

  • Planning a pilot of about 50 people.
  • Before the pilot: expert review of the ingredient reference, a privacy and legal review, and the final privacy policy.
