#  This Clever AI Tool Is A Game-Changer For Problem Skin  


If you’re struggling with your skin, nothing beats personalised support. But a face-to-face appointment is no longer the only option. Boots Online Doctor now has a handy new AI tool that can deliver answers in seconds. Here’s how it works and why we rate it…

## WHAT IT’S ALL ABOUT 



 

Imperfect skin doesn't mean your skin isn't healthy. But if you're concerned about your skin and you're not sure what it could be – whether it's something new you've noticed or it's been bothering you for a while – the new tool by [Boots Online Doctor](//onlinedoctor.boots.com/?utm_source=sheerluxe&utm_medium=affiliates&utm_campaign=skin_services) could be the perfect starting point. Dermatological expertise has never been in higher demand, but getting an in-person consultation isn't always an option – which is why this free, digital skin analysis tool is worth knowing about.

 

 This has to be one of the most USEFUL digital skincare SERVICES we’ve tried.

## WHY IT STANDS OUT 



 

#### *Your Individual Needs Are Assessed* 

According to the British Skin Foundation, 60% of the UK population currently live or have lived with a skin condition. However, a condition being common doesn’t necessarily mean it’s easy to spot. If you’re not a trained skincare professional, differentiating between the various conditions can be tricky. Often, they can have similar symptoms or show up differently on skin tones.

#### *It’s Free To Use*  

Whether the barrier is long waiting lists or expensive clinics, getting personalised dermatology support isn’t always feasible. [SmartSkin Checker](//onlinedoctor.boots.com/c/smart-skin#start?utm_source=sheerluxe&utm_medium=affiliates&utm_campaign=skin_services) is free to use, meaning you can save the money you might spend on a consultation fee and – where necessary – put it towards a treatment plan instead.

#### *There’s No Commitment*  

All you need to get started is a photo of your skin. There’s no need to sign up beforehand, you can simply upload your image and receive your [results](//onlinedoctor.boots.com/c/smart-skin#start?utm_source=sheerluxe&utm_medium=affiliates&utm_campaign=skin_services) in seconds.

## HOW IT WORKS 



 

We’ve seen a boom in digital skincare services over the last few years, but this has to be one of the most useful we’ve tried. So what exactly is it?

Think of [SmartSkin Checker](//onlinedoctor.boots.com/c/smart-skin#start?utm_source=sheerluxe&utm_medium=affiliates&utm_campaign=skin_services) as your personal analysis tool. Powered by AI technology, it screens a single image of your skin for over 70 different skin conditions, from rosacea and eczema to perioral dermatitis and psoriasis. It then narrows down the results, presenting you with five potential skin conditions you could be experiencing based on your photo. While its findings are not a diagnosis – the tool isn’t a substitute for medical advice – they can certainly point you in the right direction if you’re on the hunt for answers.

 

## WHY YOU SHOULD TRY IT 



 

It’s not just about fast results. The service connects users with trained clinicians who can assess your needs and, if necessary, prescribe treatment, often within 24 hours. As part of this new initiative, Boots is also rolling out dermatology training on common conditions for its pharmacists across over 150 stores (approved by the British Association of Dermatologists and developed by L’Oréal Groupe and consultant dermatologist Dr Justine Hextall). So if it’s face-to-face support you’re after, you can always go in store – the high-street stalwart has you covered.

 

*Try the SmartSkin Checker at*[ ONLINEDOCTOR.BOOTS.COM](//onlinedoctor.boots.com/c/smart-skin#start?utm_source=sheerluxe&utm_medium=affiliates&utm_campaign=skin_services) *&amp; use the code ‘WELCOME10’ for 10% off\** if you decide to have a full consultation.

 *\*For new patients. SmartSkin Checker is not a diagnostic tool and should not replace professional medical advice. If you have ongoing or serious concerns, please speak to a healthcare professional.*

*DISCLAIMER: Features published by SheerLuxe are not intended to treat, diagnose, cure or prevent any disease. Always seek the advice of your GP or another qualified healthcare provider for any questions you have regarding a medical condition, and before undertaking any diet, exercise or other health-related programme.*
