Renudes mission over the last half-decade has been to meticulously develop a new category of AI-powered skincare intelligence: Skinchat AI + SkinRoutine AI: Next Gen AI Skin Analysis, Skin Advice & Recommendations. The problem Renude is solving: 1. Consumers are overwhelmed by skincare products and online advice 2. CAC is at an all-time high, making acquisition expensive 3. Traditional tools offering skin analysis fall short: - Basic product matchers - Generic, transactional experiences - Reliant on self-reported data or static brand logic Leading to misdiagnoses, poor recommendations, and lost trust. Renude is built with: 1) NCI/formulation science 2) Dermatology expertise 3) 100,000+ real skincare consultations with consumers This enables truly expert-led, personalised consultations that feel more like a credible, in-store skin appointment than a generic quiz. Renude delivers -> - 3.5x conversion uplift (consumers trust the advice) - 2.5x AOV uplift (customers buy full routines with confidence) - 5x revenue uplift vs. standard quizzes - 91% opt-in rates (high engagement and retention) Trusted by: Simple, Sarah Chapman, Ella & Jo, Naturisimo & more As seen in: Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar, Glossy, The Times.
