Consumer insight, built for South African skin.
skingem is a skincare discovery app for South Africa. As the community grows, we plan to share aggregated, anonymised insight with the brands and retailers behind the products. Brand tools are not launched yet — we're building them with the people who'll use them.
What we're planning
Three things, in this order
01
Review signal by skin type, tone and concern
Aggregated, anonymised insight into how people with different skin types, skin tones and concerns talk about products — never individual reviews.
02
Retailer price and availability tracking
skingem is focusing MVP price and stock comparison on Clicks, Dis-Chem, and Woolworths. The wider scraper catalogue stays internal until freshness and matching quality are consistently verified.
03
Reports and data access
Regular reports first, then programmatic access for teams that want the data in their own tools. Shaped by what brands and retailers tell us they need.
Reviewers stay anonymous
Anything shared with brands is aggregated across contributors, and a segment is only shown once it has a minimum number of contributors — so no individual reviewer can be identified.
Tell us what you'd want to see.
If you work at a skincare brand or retailer in South Africa, we'd like to hear what insight would actually be useful to you.
