Frequently asked questions
Can LUMINA SKIN help with retinol?
LUMINA SKIN offers cosmetic AI face scanning that highlights visible signs related to retinol — such as texture, redness, oil balance and hydration patterns — then suggests routine steps and product matches. It does not diagnose medical conditions.
Is AI skin analysis accurate for retinol?
AI analysis is best used as a consistent tracking tool rather than a one-time verdict. LUMINA compares scans over time so you can see whether your routine is improving the areas you care about, including retinol.
How often should I scan my skin?
Most users scan once or twice per week. Weekly scans are enough to spot trends without over-focusing on day-to-day fluctuations caused by sleep, stress or weather.
