DermoraStop guessing why you break out.
Jawline, cheeks, or forehead: where acne shows up says a lot about what drives it. Dermora scores your breakouts from selfies, maps exactly where they cluster, and builds a routine that treats the pattern instead of throwing spot treatments at symptoms.

Breakout patterns the analysis picks up
Forehead and hairline clusters
Often linked to occlusive hair products and sweat. The fix is usually routine order and rinse habits, not stronger acids.
T-zone congestion
Blackheads and small bumps across the nose and chin typically track with oil balance, which gets its own score.
Cheek breakouts
Frequently friction and habit driven: phone screens, pillowcases, touching your face. The plan flags it when the pattern fits.
Jawline and chin flares
The classic cyclical pattern. Weekly check-ins make the rhythm visible so your routine can anticipate it.
Post-breakout marks
Dark spots left behind after a pimple heals are scored under pigmentation, because they need different care than active acne.
Irritation masquerading as acne
Over-treated skin gets bumpy too. The barrier health score catches when your acne routine is the thing causing the breakouts.
Most acne routines fight the wrong battle.
The most common acne mistake is stacking every anti-acne ingredient at once: a salicylic cleanser, a benzoyl peroxide treatment, an exfoliating toner, and a retinoid, all in week one. Skin responds by breaking down its barrier, and the result reads as more breakouts, which invites even stronger products. The cycle is why so many people insist nothing works.
Dermora scores breakouts and barrier health separately, so it can see when the barrier is the real problem. Anti-acne routines are sequenced gradually: one active at a time, buffered around your skin's tolerance, with hydration and SPF treated as non-negotiable rather than optional extras.
Acne progress is invisible day to day.
Skin cycles run four to six weeks, which means an acne routine cannot be judged in a mirror on a Tuesday. Weekly photo check-ins compare each scan against your baseline with the same angles and scoring, so you can see the breakout score actually falling even while your eyes insist nothing has changed. Just as importantly, if the score climbs after a routine change, you know within a week instead of a wasted month.
Severe, cystic, or scarring acne deserves prescription care. Dermora says so directly when your photos suggest it, because months of over-the-counter guessing is the most expensive option of all.
Common questions about acne analysis.
Can AI really analyze my acne from a photo?
Dermora detects and scores visible breakouts across three photo angles, maps where they cluster on your face, and combines that with your questionnaire answers about history, cycle patterns, and current products. It grades severity from 0 to 100 and re-scores weekly, which is how you verify a routine is genuinely working.
What acne routine will Dermora recommend?
It depends on your scores. A congestion-dominant profile gets gentle chemical exfoliation and oil-balancing steps; a barrier-compromised profile gets repair first, actives later. Routines introduce one active at a time and always include hydration and SPF, because post-acne marks darken without sun protection.
Does Dermora treat cystic or hormonal acne?
Deep cystic acne and strongly cyclical hormonal acne usually need a dermatologist, and Dermora tells you so when the pattern fits. It still helps around prescription care: tracking your response over time and keeping the rest of your routine from interfering with treatment.
How long until I see my acne score improve?
Most well-matched routines show movement in the breakout score within three to six weekly check-ins, because a skin cycle takes about a month. The score usually moves before the mirror does, which is exactly why the tracking exists: it keeps you from abandoning a working routine in week two.
