How it works
Add what you own
Search or scan the products already on your shelf.
We read the label
Every ingredient list is scored by a deterministic engine — dosing, hazards, position on the label. No AI guesswork, no paid placements.
Get the verdict
See what actually works for your skin, what clashes, and what you can stop buying.
What we check that ads won't tell you
Angel dusting, exposed
That hero ingredient on the front of the box? We check whether it's dosed to do anything — or sprinkled in for the label.
Conflict checks
Retinol + strong acids, vitamin C + the wrong pH — we flag combinations that irritate instead of help.
Routines that make sense
A balanced AM/PM routine built from the products you already own, not a shopping list.
Find out what your shelf is really worth

Some "Where to buy" links in SerumSnob are affiliate links. If you buy through them, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. Commissions never affect scores: every product is rated by the same ingredient engine, and brands cannot pay for placement or ratings. We also offer an optional paid plan for deeper analysis.
