Inconsistent results and the nagging feeling that I'm being a sucker. If you're with me on this, check out a new web site called mySkin... Read more

What is Just Like Me?

We’re glad you asked. It’s uncommon common sense. Just Like Me is a group of people who are…well… just like you! They share similar characteristics – like skin type, age, ethnicity, gender, diet, physical activity, stress level, even the climate where they live.

Skin is a complex organ with many variables affecting its health and how it responds to products --genetics, lifestyle, health conditions, and environment, to name a few. That means each person has a unique combination of skin characteristics. So what your best friend uses might not be best for you.

The idea behind Just Like Me is based on the notion that when someone is just like you, a product that works for her (or him) is very likely to work for you too. That’s the common sense part.

How does Just Like Me work?

Now the uncommon part. Just Like Me is a breakthrough technology. It utilizes highly sophisticated algorithms and scientific principles to analyze the variables that impact how well (or poorly) your skin responds to various products and ingredients. No easy task for us (but we’re happy to do it). We look at your product experiences and preferences, and those of people who are just like you. By considering every detail (even those you can’t believe would matter), we gain deeper insight into how products work on different skin. Then we identify the most effective products for you.

Look for Just Like Me

Just Like Me ratings—the Pink stars—are ratings from people just like you. It’s the average EFFECTIVENESS rating. Not how much people like that product, but how effective it is. The Yellow stars are your own ratings.

By the way, you can rate products anywhere you see stars – just drag your mouse over the stars, and your own rating will appear Yellow.
