Nine Skin Observations Scored From Your Photo
KnowMyFace scores nine visible skin qualities from your photo and identifies blemish, mark, spot, and congestion locations in your image. Each observation is a normalized 0–100 score.
Scores are grouped into qualities most people want to understand at a glance: surface texture and pore detail, tone and color variation, blemish and congestion visibility, shine and hydration appearance, and under-eye darkness.
Tone and redness
Visible Tone Variation scores overall color evenness. Visible Redness Variation scores areas where redness is more apparent.
Blemishes and congestion
Blemish Visibility scores the prominence of acne-like spots. Surface Congestion Visibility scores small, dark, clogged-looking spots.
Shine and hydration
Visible Shine scores surface oiliness or gloss. Surface Hydration Appearance scores the look associated with moisture levels.
Under-eye darkness
Scores how noticeable darkening beneath the eyes appears relative to surrounding skin in the photo.
Visible skin imperfections
Acne-like spots, mole-like marks, pigmented spots, and closed-comedone-like bumps are identified in your uploaded image.
Visible areas
Blemishes, Marks, and Spots Identified in Your Photo
Beyond the nine scored observations, the skin analyzer identifies specific areas on your photo where acne-like spots, mole-like marks, pigmented spots, or closed-comedone-like bumps appear.
The table below shows what each marker type highlights.
| Marker type | What it highlights |
|---|---|
| Acne-like spots | Spots with an acne-like appearance |
| Mole-like marks | Distinct visible marks that appear mole-like |
| Pigmented spots | Pigmented or discolored spots under current light |
| Closed-comedone-like bumps | Small, raised bumps that appear like closed comedones |
Skin by zone
Skin Qualities Differ Across Facial Zones
Skin varies across your face, which is why a single whole-face score can be misleading. The skin analyzer returns region-level observations so you can compare zones rather than relying on one average number.
Understanding these natural zone differences helps you read your scored results in context and focus your attention where it matters most.
T-zone (forehead and nose)
Typically shows higher shine and more visible pores due to higher sebaceous density. Texture may appear smoother but oilier.
Cheeks
Often where tone variation, redness, and surface texture are most visible. Tends to be drier than the center of the face.
Chin and jawline
A common area for blemish-like spots and congestion. Texture and tone can differ noticeably from the upper face.
Under-eye area
The thinnest skin on the face, making darkness and color variation especially visible.
