Think Dirty Alternative: Scan Products AND Know Your Skin

Think Dirty is one of the most recognized ingredient-rating apps in clean beauty, and for good reason: it maintains a large database of products and flags potentially harmful chemicals so you can make informed purchase decisions. If you want to know what's in a product before you buy it, Think Dirty genuinely delivers on that promise.

What Think Dirty doesn't do is analyze your actual skin. It can tell you a formula contains a high concentration of fragrance, but it can't tell you whether your skin is dehydrated this week, what your natural undertone is, or whether the texture on your cheeks has improved since you switched serums. For that, you need a tool that works with your face — not just the bottle.

Rosee does both. You can scan a barcode or type an ingredient list to get a real compatibility score against your skin type and concerns — powered by OpenBeautyFacts data. And separately, Rosee's on-device face analysis measures hydration, glow, texture, tone (using CIELAB ITA°), dark circles, and redness without ever uploading your photo to a server. The two halves work together: understand your skin, then check whether a product actually suits it.

Why people choose Rosee

On-device skin analysis

Rosee reads your hydration, glow, texture, undertone, dark circles, and redness directly on your iPhone — the image never leaves your device, and no account is required to run a scan.

Ingredient checker that knows your skin

Scan a barcode or paste an ingredient list and Rosee cross-references it with your skin type and tracked concerns, giving a compatibility score grounded in real OpenBeautyFacts data.

Honest 'not enough data' policy

In poor lighting Rosee declines to fabricate a score and tells you why. You'll never see a confident-looking number that was invented from a blurry selfie.

Progress tracking over time

Weekly scans build a visual history of how your skin metrics shift — useful for seeing whether a new product or routine change is actually moving the needle.

Routine builder included

Rosee pairs ingredient checking with a customizable morning and evening routine, so the insights connect to daily action rather than stopping at a product rating.

Common questions

Is Rosee a replacement for Think Dirty?

They serve overlapping but different needs. Think Dirty excels at product-database breadth and clean-beauty ratings. Rosee adds on-device face analysis so you can understand your own skin, not just the products on the shelf. Many users find both useful for different moments.

Does Rosee upload my photo to a server?

No. All face analysis runs entirely on your iPhone using on-device processing. Your photo is never sent to Rosee's servers or any third party. This is a core architectural decision, not just a privacy policy.

Can Rosee tell me if an ingredient will irritate my skin specifically?

Rosee provides a compatibility score based on your skin type and tracked concerns against known ingredient properties from OpenBeautyFacts. It is a useful signal, but individual reactions vary and the score is not a medical guarantee. When in doubt, patch-test a new product.

Does Rosee work without creating an account?

The core scan features are available without an account. An optional account enables cloud sync for progress history across devices.

Is Rosee free?

Yes — Rosee is free to download on the App Store with a useful free tier. A Pro subscription unlocks additional features. No purchase is required to run a face scan or check an ingredient.
