Scan your face, snap your meals, and find out which foods line up with your breakouts. Get a daily skin score, a score for every meal, and your personal triggers.
Root Cause helps you compare what you eat with how your skin changes over time.
Log meals by photo or text, complete a daily skin check-in, and review personal patterns that emerge across different time delays. Root Cause highlights repeated associations in your own history so you can make more informed choices without relying on generic food lists.

Root Cause provides educational and pattern-finding information. It does not diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent acne or any medical condition. Associations shown in the app do not establish causation. Consult a qualified healthcare professional for medical concerns.
