Stop guessing what to layer. Scan your shelf, get AM/PM routines for 7 days, catch ingredient clashes before your skin reacts. K-beauty fluent. Free.
HadaBuddy is your skin BFF.
Scan your skincare products and HadaBuddy builds your personal product shelf. Then your AI BFF gets to work, generating your morning and evening routines for every day of the week, tailored to your skin type, concerns, location, and season.
No more guessing what to use or in what order. Your skin BFF handles the routine so you can just show up.
HOW IT WORKS
1. Set your skin profile (type, concerns, sensitivities, location)
2. Scan product barcodes from your shelf or snap a photo of the label
3. See ingredient analysis personalized to YOUR skin, not a generic score
4. Get AI-built AM and PM routines from products you already own
5. Catch ingredient conflicts before you layer them on your face
6. Adjust as seasons change. Your routine adapts to humidity, dryness, and UV
FEATURES
- Barcode scanner and photo-based label recognition
- AI-generated morning and evening routines, 7 days a week
- Personalized to your skin type, concerns, climate, and season
- Full ingredient breakdown for every scanned product
- Ingredient conflict detection: retinol + AHA, vitamin C + benzoyl peroxide, niacinamide + direct acids, and more
- Skin Advisor chat: ask anything about your routine, products, or ingredients (Pro)

K-BEAUTY BRANDS WE RECOGNIZE
COSRX, Beauty of Joseon, Anua, SKIN1004, Torriden, Laneige, Innisfree, Missha, Etude, Klairs, Some By Mi, Banila Co, TONYMOLY, Holika Holika, and more. Scanned directly from Korean-language packaging. Most scanner apps miss these. HadaBuddy does not.
INGREDIENT CONFLICTS WE CATCH
- Retinol + AHA or BHA (irritation and barrier damage)
- Vitamin C + benzoyl peroxide (oxidizes your serum)
- Retinol + vitamin C in the same step (pH conflict)
- Niacinamide + direct acids at high concentrations
- AHA + BHA layered at full strength (over-exfoliation)
We flag these before you apply, not after your skin reacts.
WHY HADABUDDY IS DIFFERENT
Most skincare apps score products. HadaBuddy builds routines. Yuka tells you if a product is safe to buy. HadaBuddy tells you how to use what you already bought, together, in the right order, for your skin type and climate.
You do not need to buy new products. Use the ones you have, better.
WHO HADABUDDY IS FOR
- You own 5+ skincare products and have no idea what order to use them
- You love K-beauty but your current app does not recognize half your shelf
- You bought a retinol and a vitamin C and you are not sure if they go together
- You want a routine that adjusts when you travel or the seasons change
- You tried Yuka and got scores but still do not know what to do at night

COMMON QUESTIONS
Q: Is this like Yuka?
A: Yuka scores products 0 to 100. HadaBuddy builds routines from products you own and flags ingredient conflicts. Different tools for different problems.
Q: Does it work with K-beauty brands?
A: Yes. We recognize Korean brands and Korean-language packaging that most scanner apps miss entirely.
Q: Can I use it without a skin profile?
A: Yes, as a guest. Routine generation needs a profile so we can personalize. Takes two minutes.
Q: Is my data safe?
A: Skin profile stays on your device. We never sell data. AI features need explicit consent, revocable in Settings.
Q: Android?
A: iOS only for now. Android is on the roadmap.

Ratings & Reviews
- Your variant picks now stick. We fixed a scanner glitch where the app would override your tap with a "better" match. Not its call to make. Sorted.
- Small refinements and bug fixes.
