Hydration Score

What Is the Hydration Score?

The hydration score reflects how well-moisturized your skin appears — its moisture level and barrier function. Higher scores indicate better hydration; low scores may suggest dryness or dehydration. The AI estimates this from your scan based on skin appearance (e.g., dullness, fine dry lines, or a healthy glow).

Hydration is one of the six core skin metrics AISkincare tracks. It can be influenced by your routine, environment, and product choices.

How Can I Improve My Hydration Score?

Improve it with a consistent morning and evening routine that includes a moisturizer suited to your skin type. Ingredients like hyaluronic acid, glycerin, and ceramides in cleansers, serums, and moisturizers can help. Avoid over-cleansing or harsh products that strip the barrier.

Track changes with full scans and progress tracking. If you have dry or dehydrated skin, focus on routine-by-skin-type guidance and a product shelf that supports hydration.

Why Hydration Matters for Other Metrics

Well-hydrated skin often shows better texture and can look more even in tone. Dehydrated skin can look dull or flaky and sometimes more sensitive or red. Improving hydration can have a positive knock-on effect on your overall skin score.
