ComfiSkin vs Skin Bliss
Skin Bliss wants a subscription for most of what it does, admits on Google Play that your data isn’t encrypted, and hadn’t been updated on iPhone in over a year when we checked. ComfiSkin includes routines, clash checks and a journal for free, and keeps your notes on your phone.
Combination skin, a bit dry on the cheeks. Breaking out from my new cream. Trying to avoid fragrance.
EN-
CRYPTED
The short answer
Skin Bliss wants $34.99 a year for most of its features. Its own Google Play listing says your data isn’t encrypted or sent over a secure connection. And the iPhone app hadn’t been updated in over thirteen months when we checked.
What that means: you’d be paying to keep a skin diary, full of personal notes and photos, in an app that admits it doesn’t protect them and may not be looking after itself. Move your routine to ComfiSkin, where it’s free and stays on your phone.

Almost everything is behind Pro
Skin Bliss Pro costs $6.99 a month or $34.99 a year. The face scanner is a separate $1.99, and there’s a $44.99 “Clear Acne” bundle on top.1 Reviewers say there’s very little left for free users. When we checked, 14 of the 50 most recent App Store reviews gave one or two stars.2
“99% of features are behind a paywall.”
“App costs money just to log your skin care products.”
And paying doesn’t guarantee good advice. One reviewer said the photo analysis mistook their freckles for blemishes.4 Another, who told the app they were 12, said it recommended retinol.2 That’s not a small slip. It’s a strong active suggested to a child. ComfiSkin works from the skin profile you give it, not a guess from a photo, and every feature is free.
What that means for you: the free version is little more than a demo, and some paying users say the advice was wrong for them anyway.
By its own account, your diary isn’t protected
Every Android app has to fill in a data safety section on Google Play. Under “Security practices”, Skin Bliss says: “Data isn’t encrypted. Your data isn’t transferred over a secure connection.” The same section lists email addresses and user IDs among the data it collects.3
Think about what goes into a skin diary: breakouts, flare-ups, medication, photos of your face. In plain terms, Skin Bliss sends that kind of information like a postcard, readable by anyone who handles it along the way. Charging a subscription for that is hard to defend.
ComfiSkin keeps your skin profile, shelf, routines, check-ins and photos on your phone, and backups are protected with a password only you know.
What that means for you: notes about your skin, your breakouts and the products you use could be read by anyone who intercepts them. In ComfiSkin, they never leave your phone unless you back them up yourself.
An app nobody seems to be looking after
On the App Store, the latest version of Skin Bliss is dated 21 August 2025, more than thirteen months before we checked.1 Skincare products change constantly, and so do phones. A paid app that hasn’t been touched in over a year is unlikely to fix its security, its advice or its bugs any time soon.
What that means for you: problems may never get fixed, and you’d only find out after paying.
What to do if you use Skin Bliss
- Save anything you’d hate to lose. Write down your routine, opened dates and any notes about reactions.
- Don’t put sensitive notes in an app that says it doesn’t encrypt them. That includes skin conditions, medication and photos.
- Move your routine into ComfiSkin. Scan your shelf, set your mornings and evenings, and it’s all free and kept on your phone.
