ComfiSkin vs Clearya
Clearya flags ingredients that appear on official hazard lists, in an app and a browser extension. It tells you an ingredient is on a list, not whether the product is a problem for you. ComfiSkin explains each ingredient and checks the product against your skin.
- On a hazard list
- On another hazard list
- Flagged ingredient
Does it suit my skin? Not answered.
An illustration of a hazard-list flagThe short answer
Clearya is free and has no ads, which is to its credit. But it flags ingredients simply because they appear on official hazard lists, without judging how much is in the product or how you use it. Its Google Play listing says your data isn’t encrypted in transit, and reviewers have found products they consider harmful marked as fine.
What that means: you get warnings that can frighten you off safe products, and no answer to whether a product suits you. ComfiSkin is also free and ad-free, and it tells you what each ingredient does and whether the product is right for your skin.

Being on a list isn’t the same as being harmful
Clearya doesn’t score products. It flags ingredients that appear on official hazard lists, and its own terms disclaim responsibility for the accuracy of that third-party data.2 A hazard list says what a substance could do in some form, at some dose. It doesn’t say what a trace of it does in your face cream.
So the warnings can point the wrong way. One reviewer said products they knew to be harmful were “showing up as ‘good’”, and another called the app “Super clunky and it’s just a store”.4 When warnings and all-clears both feel unreliable, you’re left guessing.
ComfiSkin explains what each ingredient is there to do, puts the ones you avoid at the top, and gives you a verdict for your skin type and concerns.
What that means for you: a flag tells you an ingredient appears on a list somewhere, not whether you should put the product on your face.
Free, but not encrypted
Clearya is funded by donations and also sells a business analytics product.2 Its App Store label lists no tracking.1 Its Google Play data safety section, though, says “Data isn’t encrypted”, explained as “Your data isn’t transferred over a secure connection”.3 Its privacy policy names Google Analytics, Mixpanel, Firebase and Sentry among the services it uses.2
ComfiSkin keeps your skin profile, shelf and notes on your phone. There’s nothing to send, so there’s nothing to send insecurely.
What that means for you: what you look up in Clearya travels over a connection its own listing says isn’t secure, past several analytics companies.
What to do if you use Clearya
- Treat a flag as “look closer”, not “dangerous”. Check how far down the label the ingredient sits.
- Don’t rely on a green result either. Reviewers say it can miss things.
- Check the product against your skin in ComfiSkin. Free, ad-free, and nothing leaves your phone.
