The Skin Rocks App

How do you decide which brands feature on the app?

If you're a brand, you will be featured! We are building a skincare database which aims to include everyone.

Are there any brands that you won't feature?

No, Skin Rocks is a database that has no bias, so all skincare brands will be included. Users will be recommended products based on their profile - this might mean you see some brands more than others as they target your skin concerns.

How can I get my brand featured on the app and how much will it cost?

It won't cost you anything to be on the app. If you're a new brand, please introduce yourself to our team via brands@skinrocks.com and we can take it from there.

Will you include subscription skincare services?

Yes, you will see the likes of Skin+Me and Dermatica on the app. As these are prescription brands, it is not possible to showcase each individual product, as they are prescribed bespoke to you.

Who do I consult if I don't agree with the app’s recommendations?

The app's recommendations are purely driven by science, facts and the information provided in users' profiles. Skin Rocks product pages are led by fact, not opinion.

Who do I contact if my brand's info is incorrect?

If you have spotted an error in your brand's factual information, please contact brands@skinrocks.com.
