The study
What is public, and nothing more.
Acuence reads how the skin appears in a photo taken on iPhone. This page states what the app observes, what it refuses to display, and where its evaluation stands, with a date.
No results published · status as of October 29, 2026
Scope
Observing appearance. Nothing beyond.
Acuence returns cosmetic observations. It names no condition and evaluates no treatment.
Out of scope
- Diagnosis
- Medical condition
- Treatment assessment
What the app observes
How the skin appears, in a photo of the face.
- Redness
- Texture
- Dark circles
- Shine
Measurements are computed on the iPhone, from the photo.
A reading
A photo, a reading, or nothing.
The path has four steps. The third may stop right there: that is by design.
Taking the photo
A photo of the face, taken on your iPhone.
Does the photo allow it?
A reading is only made when the image allows a reliable one.
Reading
A cosmetic observation of how the skin appears.
or “Not readable”
Nothing is shown. A result only counts if it can be defended.
On your iPhone
The face photo stays on the device; the reading joins your history.

Publication commitment
Making conclusions as readable as their limits.
Scope
Each conclusion will be tied to what it documents, with no extension to medical use.
Limits
Identified limits will be published with the same visibility as the results.
Traceability
Each synthesis will carry a date, a version number and the identity of its contributors.
Until a synthesis can be published, Acuence sticks to describing its cosmetic use.
