Three photo-derived signals
Clarity follows visible breakout activity. Even tone follows visible redness and tone consistency. Smoothness follows the appearance of surface texture.
These signals are most useful when the photographs are matched for lighting, angle, distance and routine conditions.
Two signals that come from you
Hydration uses the dryness level you report. Comfort uses your report of stinging, itching or tenderness.
Labelling these as self-reported avoids pretending a photograph can measure how skin feels.
Use the diamond to explore, not diagnose
The five-axis view makes it easy to see which signal is stronger, weaker or missing. Open an axis to inspect its source and evidence instead of relying only on the combined shape.
Glow is a cosmetic progress record. It is not a diagnosis or a clinical hydration measurement.
Keep this check-in repeatable.
- Check all five labels
- Open the source for each axis
- Use matched photos
- Answer dryness and comfort honestly
- Compare chapters rather than one score
