Charm Reviews

I have multiple problems with Charm. The most annoying one is that when I try to add products to my skincare routine, I think if it goes over six items, it just removes one. I have multiple skincare routines in which I use different products throughout the week, and therefore I have to add more than 6 items to my routine. Another problem is that when I add an item from the list of already put in products, it forces Charm closed and I have to see what changes it made to my routine. Another problem is the lack of the ability to upload photos for the reference of products that aren't already in their database. You can only take a picture of the products, you can't upload your own file, which is really annoying because I like the look of the online photos better than the background at my house to use as a photo for my skincare products. I was really looking forward to using Charm so i could keep track of what days to use my certain products (I have sensitive skin and want to use both retinol and aha/bha but i lose track easily of when i used what so I thought Charm would prevent me from forgetting since you can't use retinol and aha/bha at the same time); but honestly I'll probably uninstall if at least my main problem isn't fixed.

Charm has a ton of potential - The UI is pleasing to the eye and it is fairly easy to use. One annoyance was that each product is locked into a category. For example, I use The Ordinary's Caffeine solution as an eye treatment, but could only classify it under "Face Serum." This is technically true but irked me that the usage couldn't be more specific to my personal routine.
Also, please add drugstore products! Not everyone shops exclusively with prestige brands - Some people try to make do with what's available and affordable, myself included!
In addition to drugstore products, many people are increasingly incorporating Asian skincare products and routines. Brands like Cosrx, Missha, Tony Moly & Rovectin are becoming largely popular in the West. It would be a waste to not include these as well in the product listings.
Charm surpasses others in that it's free and an overall nice experience to utilize, but could definitely be better.

The concept for Charm is great, but the follow-through not so much. Charm constantly crashes when I try to add a new skincare product. Additionally, it’s much easier to add products available at Sephora than those that aren’t. Half of my skincare products aren’t, so I have to add them manually. This makes the crashing even more annoying because when that happens it removes one if your existing g products and then I have to enter it manually all over again.

first of all, Charm crashed a LOT. it was really annoying. i would be in the middle of editing my routine and it would crash. such a headache!

also, the weirdest part was when i was setting up my night routine. my night routine is complicated and it varies day to day, so i downloaded Charm to track it. i have three serums i use from the ordinary, i have 2 that goes after my essence and 1 after my moisturizer because i mix them together. when i was finished setting up my routine, i went back to check and literally, the entire routine glitched out! all of my serums became niacinamide (which is one of my serums btw). i kept redoing it and the same thing kept occuring. it was so annoying.

tbh i just didn’t like Charm , i honestly wish it had more function. i hope we can add more than 2 routines in the future, because it was difficult to select the days i use certain products in.

App is ok. Major issue is that you can’t edit your entries after the fact. If I forget to enter my info until the next morning there is nothing I can do. I use Charm to track my retinol schedule so the fact that I can’t make changes is pretty annoying.

I have downloaded and tried a handful of skincare tracking apps, and this one was my favorite until I realized one major flaw. It doesn’t let you edit previous days. For people like me who don’t wash up or sleep until past 12am (or you simply forget to log it), it’s really an inconvenience to not be able to edit a day past 12am. I love that it tracks other factors that affect your skin like your period, water intake, amount of sleep, physical activity, etc. Unfortunately, since I don’t do my nighttime routine till late, I can’t use Charm. Bummer.

Great idea. I wish it included drug store brands such as CeraVe. I have a very very extensive skin care routine(I am obsessed with skin care). I have an every other day routine for mornings AND evenings. It’s a lot to keep up with. I definitely want to track my routine but Charm is a bit challenging. I wish there were a website where I could include my entire routine and ingredients (including my drugstore and Korean products) and be able to track my routine on my phone. Maybe one day.... For now it’s pen and paper.

Idea: track active ingredients, recommend layering options and ph.

Charm is probably the best skincare app on the market right now. And I wish I could use it, but some of the products I use (mostly drugstore products like Cerave) are not included. If you added more options, or even just included a way for us to add our own stuff, that would be awesome, and I’d give five stars.

I wish there was a way to submit more products or view what's available by a brand. I've noticed a few items are miscategorized (makeup remover as a toner etc) so it's hard to find what I use. I don't like adding my custom product because it only allows photos I take, not an uploaded product photo. If I take photos on my counter, it clutters Charm and looks messy.

Charm is great for people like me who love skincare! The only thing that i don't love is that it is really expensive if you choose to pay. But i did not choose to pay but it is still a great experience! i recommend!

I would recommend to add more options to the “Add new step” such as antioxidants (Vitamin C, Hyaluronic acid, etc) , equipment, tools etc. I feel like is very limited in that aspect.
Charm has a lot of potential to be the best skincare routine track app.

Seems really great and helpful
You have to add your own products if they are from a drugstore
Unless you pay for the premium the only things you can do are add products to your routine and make logs in your diary

I love Charm so much I’ve only been using it for a while but I give it four stars only because it doesn’t let you edit days Like if you forgot to put in that you washed your face the other day it won’t let you put it in which kinda bothers me but overall it’s a great app!

It is a pretty good app! But, it won’t let you change different products you use or when you use different products with each different day. Otherwise it has a clear line what all to do and when! 👍🏼

I have about 10 apps like this on my phone and this is the best one.
It’s the greatest one on my phone but it could have been better.
But if you need a beauty diary then this is an great app it’s just it could get better.
I’m still giving 5 stars though because it’s not horrible.

First off Charm has been so helpful for my skincare routine & Charm is easy to use. But the lack of going back literally one day to check off my morning/night routine is really annoying. Most times I miss it by 10 minutes past midnight & it’s the smallest detail but I’ve noticed I use Charm less and less because of this reason. Also would love if you could customize a single day routine, as of now it changes your past info & future for all days. Please look into this, because there are others that have been asking the same thing!

i sometimes forget to do my skincare. having somewhere that i can log when i do it and also talk about how my skin feels each day is just amazing. it also sends my notifications to do my skincare, check posture, eat healthier, go for a walk, drink water, and more! you can pick any you would like. i also get to take pictures of my skin each day to show improvement in breakouts or anything else. i get to choose my skin type and my concerns for my skin and it gives me tips and customizes my routine. i add my products to my routine and check off the ones i have used. i would totally recommend this app to anyone needing a little help with skincare! no ads or anything.

I love how Charm includes a ton of things for free without buying premium! I am able to watch videos, look at treatments, add all of the routines, and edit them to anyway I like.

I like keeping track of what I’m using and when. Also love the fact that I can track my skins progress with photos

This is the best skin care app! I highly recommend Charm for anyone of all ages! My skin was not great but after a month of using Charm I had flawless skin. It’s so great I can find my routines with a few taps, If
It let me rate this out of a billion I would definitely rate it a billion! I hoped this helped!
