Our accuracy standard

Early access · United States

Stop guessing what your skin needs.

Pulse scans your skin, builds a routine around what it finds, and shows you whether it's actually working. Every skin concern is tested across ten skin tones, from Pearl to Onyx, before it ships.

How Pulse works

A skincare strategy, built on your own skin data.

Scan

Know what your skin needs

A face scan finds your skin type and concerns, like dark spots, uneven tone and post-acne marks, and shows where they are.

Routine

Copy what works for skin like yours

Get an AM and PM routine built from your scan, or copy the routines of friends and creators with similar skin.

Progress

See the difference

Check off your routine each day and rescan to compare against your first scan, so you know what's working.

The Pulse accuracy standard

A tool that only works on some skin isn't accurate. It's lucky.

Skin scanners have a documented accuracy gap, and Stanford researchers found it's widest on deeper skin. Pulse closes it by rule. Each skin concern is tested on a consented panel of 300 people across ten skin tones, from Pearl to Onyx, with images labeled by board-certified dermatologists. We compare three ranges of skin tones, lighter, medium and deeper, and if a concern is more than 5 points less accurate on any range than the best, it stays out of the app. Then we publish the results for all ten tones, so you can see how Pulse does on skin like yours.

Illustration of the rule, not test results. Pulse publishes real results by skin tone at launch and updates them every six months.

The 5‑point rule

If it doesn't meet our bar, it doesn't ship.

If Pulse reads a skin concern correctly 90 times out of 100 on one range of skin tones, it has to get at least 85 right on every other range. If it falls short, that feature waits until it doesn't.

Your face, your data

Privacy is built in from the first scan.

Face scans are biometric data, so Pulse asks for your written consent before any scan and holds everyone to the same strict privacy standard, wherever you live.

Skincare that works on your skin, proven by people like you.
