Everything people ask about the Korean skin scan — how it works, what it costs, and why the scores can't be bought.
A Korean skin-scan app for iPhone. One selfie → a Korean-framework skin read: 12-tone Personal Color, independent water-oil axes, pore zones, marks & redness by zone, and Skin Type 16 — your shareable 4-letter Korean skin identity. Plus Hana, a K-beauty coach you can chat with, and an ingredient scanner that grades any label against your scan. First scan free.
You take one selfie. It's analyzed once by an AI vision model to read cosmetic skin signals — hydration and oil balance, pore zones, marks and redness by facial zone, and tone for Personal Color. Your selfie is never stored on our servers, and there is never a "looks score." It's a cosmetic guide, not a medical diagnosis.
Our Korean-named skin identity system, built on the dermatologist-developed Baumann framework used in Korean skincare research. Four axes — Dry/Oily · Sensitive/Resistant · Pigment-prone/Non-pigmented · Wrinkle-prone/Tight — make 16 types, each with a Korean name: 한국의 노을 Korean Sunset (ORPT), 철벽 유리 Iron Glass (ORNT), 여린 화산 Tender Volcano (OSPT)… The scan reads all four axes from one selfie.
Korea's color-matching system. Beyond "warm or cool": four seasons (봄·여름·가을·겨울) split by depth and clarity into 12 tones. In Seoul it's a draping-studio appointment; Jineo reads the same 12-tone system from one selfie, free.
No. Zero paid rankings, zero sponsored scores. No brand can pay for placement or a better number, anywhere in the app. Product links may earn us an affiliate commission at no extra cost to you — commissions never touch scores. That rule is the product.
The first scan is free. Jineo Pro — re-scans, the Hana coach, Routine Roast, cycle tuning — is $9.99/week or $79.99/year with a 3-day free trial on annual. Managed through your Apple ID; cancel anytime.
Your selfie is analyzed once and never stored on our servers or sold. We ask explicit consent before every scan, never identify faces, and never produce a "looks score." Full details: privacy policy.
No. Jineo reads cosmetic signals and suggests cosmetic routines — it doesn't diagnose, treat, or cure anything. For persistent or concerning skin issues, please see a licensed dermatologist.
120+ real Korean brands matched to your scan — Beauty of Joseon, Anua, Cosrx, Sulwhasoo, Laneige, Torriden, Round Lab and more — with links to Olive Young Global and counterfeit-spotting guidance. Real Korean brands, not "Korean-inspired."
Korea has distinct words for distinct glow goals: 물광 mul-gwang = wet water glow · 속광 sok-gwang = lit-from-within · 윤광 yoon-gwang = satin soft glow · 꿀광 kkul-gwang = honey glow · 촉촉 chok-chok = moist and plump. The in-app glossary decodes 84 K-beauty terms, and your scan sets which glow your routine should chase.
