How woman improved her skin with AI
In a post shared on the subreddit 30PlusSkinCare, a 37-year-old woman detailed her experience, “After doing research online and on Reddit, I discovered that the little bumps I was dealing with on my face were called closed comedones. I then asked ChatGPT to act like a professional dermatologist and help me create a skincare routine to get rid of my closed comedones, acne, minimise pores, tighten skin, and reduce fine lines. I also shared photos of my skin at that time.”
She added, “I took photos of all the products I already had so ChatGPT could incorporate them into my routine. The most important thing was to only use products that wouldn’t cause clogged pores. New products I added based on ChatGPT’s recommendations that made the biggest difference include vitamin C, niacinamide, hyaluronic acid, and tretinoin (though I was already using that).”
How it changed her skin
“I also had ChatGPT recommend new makeup products, so I knew I was only using non-comedogenic items to help clear my skin,” she explained. She also highlighted the cost-effectiveness of the approach, “It was quite an investment, but compared to a consultation with a dermatologist, this wasn’t bad. I might have ended up spending $300–$400 on new skincare and makeup products total.”
“Previously, I only followed a night routine, but I’ve now added a morning routine as well, and so far, I’m very happy with the results!,” she says.
Tips to keep in mind
When creating a skincare routine, whether with AI or a dermatologist, always consider your skin type, existing products, and potential irritants. Introduce new products gradually, patch-test them first, and focus on consistency rather than quick fixes. Don’t forget sun protection during the day and a gentle night routine to let your skin repair itself.
