A Cosmily alternative
Cosmily was a website for analysing and comparing skincare ingredient lists. When we checked in October 2026, it wasn’t loading at all. ComfiSkin is an app that reads labels and checks products against your skin, for free.
Payment required
What cosmily.com returned on 11 October 2026The short answer
When we checked on 11 October 2026, cosmily.com and its ingredient checker returned an error, “Payment required”, instead of the site. The last normal snapshot we found was from June 2026. Its privacy policy, last updated in 2019, allowed partner advertisers to target you.
What that means: if you relied on Cosmily, it isn’t there right now. ComfiSkin checks products against your skin, keeps your notes on your phone, and shows no ads.

The site isn’t loading
On 11 October 2026, cosmily.com, www.cosmily.com and its ingredient checker all returned HTTP 402, “Payment required”, an error from its hosting provider. The last normal capture we found in the Internet Archive was from 8 June 2026.1 We found no announcement explaining why.
Its privacy policy, as archived in May 2026, said it was “last updated on 23rd September 2019”, collected details such as email and date of birth, and allowed third-party advertisers and ad networks “to deliver advertising and content targeted to your interests”.2
What that means for you: any saved account or lists may be out of reach, and the details you gave it are with a site that’s gone quiet.
What to use instead
ComfiSkin reads the ingredient list from a photo or barcode, explains each ingredient in plain words, and checks the product against your skin type, concerns and avoid list. It compares new products with what you already own and checks your routine for clashes. It’s free, has no ads and no sign-up, and keeps your notes on your phone, so it can’t vanish with a website.
What that means for you: a checker that lives on your phone, not one that can go offline.
