Quick Scan vs Full Scan
Differences between Quick and Full AI scan types.
What Is a Quick Scan?
Quick Scan is a fast, lightweight analysis that gives you an overall skin score, detected skin type (normal, dry, oily, combination, sensitive), top concerns, and a daily tip. It uses a single photo and returns results in seconds.
Quick Scan is ideal for daily check-ins or when you want a snapshot without the full report. Free users have a limited number of quick scans (e.g., 5 total); Pro users get more (e.g., 25 total). Use it alongside full scans for a balance of speed and depth. Quick Scan does not include the full six-metric breakdown or zone analysis, so for detailed progress tracking you'll want to run full scans regularly too.
What Is a Full Scan?
Full Scan is the complete analysis: all six skin metrics (hydration, texture, tone, acne, pores, redness), optional zone-by-zone breakdown, skin type and confidence, pigmentation and undertone, and personalized recommendations.
Full scans are designed for when you want detailed data to optimize your routine and track progress. Free users get one full scan per day; Pro users get more (e.g., 10 per day). You can choose morning, afternoon, or evening when you start the scan, which helps you track how your skin looks at different times and build a richer comparison history.
When Should I Use Quick Scan vs Full Scan?
Use Quick Scan when you want a fast daily check, a quick skin type and concern snapshot, or you're low on full-scan quota. Use Full Scan when you want the full skin metrics breakdown, zone analysis, and the ability to compare before and after over weeks or months.
A good pattern: run a Full Scan once or a few times per week to build your progress history, and use Quick Scan on other days for a lightweight check. Both contribute to your understanding of how your routine and products are working.
