- TroveSkin is no longer on the App Store or Google Play; we checked again on November 7, 2026.
- BasicBeauty is the closest replacement: routines, product expiry, a photo journal and 80+ symptoms, free with no sign-up.
- FeelinMySkin is best on Android; Pori turns each selfie into a 0 to 100 score with four sub-scores and a skin age estimate.
- Before trusting any tracker with months of photos, check where they're stored and save copies you control.
The best TroveSkin alternatives are BasicBeauty, FeelinMySkin and Pori. BasicBeauty is best overall because it keeps TroveSkin's logbook idea alive: routines, a product list with expiry dates, a daily photo journal and more than 80 symptoms and lifestyle factors, free to start and with no sign-up. FeelinMySkin is the pick on Android, and Pori is the one to choose if you want each selfie turned into scores you can chart.
If you also logged products in TroveSkin, you can scan a product's barcode or label with the ingredient scanner in Pori to check it against your skin type. We make Pori; it tracks everyday skin and reads ingredient lists, and it does not diagnose skin conditions.
TroveSkin, the skincare tracker from Trove Technologies, is no longer on the App Store or Google Play, and its old domain now redirects to unrelated sites; we checked again on November 7, 2026. Our TroveSkin review covers what it did and what users reported. This guide is about what to use instead. We read each replacement's US App Store listing, and Google Play where noted, in November 2026, and did not test the apps hands-on.

Which TroveSkin features do you need to replace?
TroveSkin did five jobs in one app: it tracked your products and stash with expiry reminders, suggested routines for your skin type, logged lifestyle factors to find triggers, compared dated selfies, and ran a user community. No single app today does all five in the same way, so start from the one you used most.
- The photo logbook: BasicBeauty or FeelinMySkin, or Pori if you want numbers next to each photo.
- The product stash and expiry dates: BasicBeauty for expiry, SkinSort for the product log and ingredient checks.
- Trigger hunting: Skinsign or BasicBeauty; our skin diary app comparison adds general symptom trackers.
- Routine suggestions: Skin Bliss or Pori.
- The community: FeelinMySkin's forum.
The TroveSkin alternatives, one by one
BasicBeauty: best overall
BasicBeauty lets you build preset or custom routines for face, hair and body, link products to them, track expiry dates and set wait timers. Its journal takes daily photos from different angles and logs more than 80 symptoms and lifestyle choices, and its insights show how products, water and sleep line up with your skin. The listing says you don't need to sign up and only you see your data. It has a 4.7 rating from about 600 ratings.
Who it suits: former TroveSkin users who mainly logged products and photos. Who should skip it: Android users. The catch: unlimited routines and products need premium, and the listing's description and price list don't match, so check the price in the app.
FeelinMySkin: best for Android
FeelinMySkin plans morning and evening routines with per-product repetitions, reminders and a home-screen widget. Its diary pairs photos with sleep, mood and exercise, it has an ingredient checker and a database of more than 150,000 products, and a community forum covers the social side TroveSkin had. It's also on Google Play, which matters because TroveSkin ran on Android too.
Who it suits: Android users and anyone who liked TroveSkin's community. Who should skip it: people who want a one-time price. The catch: Pro is a subscription.
Pori: best for scores from selfies
Pori is our iPhone app. A selfie gives a 0 to 100 skin score in about 10 seconds, with readings for hydration and moisture, pores and texture, pigmentation and tone, and anti-aging and elasticity, plus a skin-age estimate. A diary logs sleep, water, stress and diet, and before-and-after comparison and progress charts show the trend. The Pro ingredient scanner flags each ingredient as beneficial, use with caution or avoid for your skin type. Your history stays on your phone, and photos aren't kept on Pori's servers after the result.
Who it suits: people who want a number next to each photo. Who should skip it: Android users, and anyone who wants product expiry tracking, which Pori doesn't have. The catch: the weekly plan is the priciest here, and scores still shift with light.
SkinSort: best for your product stash
SkinSort scans a product photo, explains its ingredients and warns you about products that shouldn't be used together. You can log the products you use each day and see trends over time, and it finds cheaper dupes. It has a 4.7 rating from about 6,500 ratings, the most in this group. See our SkinSort review.
The catch: it has no progress photos, so pair it with a photo app if you want both.
Skin Bliss: best for routine advice
Skin Bliss builds and evaluates routines, flags product clashes, keeps a skin diary with progress photos and offers a face scanner as a paid add-on. The catch: the US listing's last update was in August 2025, older than the others here. Our Skin Bliss review covers how it scores products.
Trace: best free acne tracker
Trace turns a daily selfie into four scores from 0 to 100 for acne, redness, pores and spots, measured on your iPhone. It's built around changing one product at a time and reading the trend over weeks. The catch: it's new, with 13 ratings, and focuses on acne. Our acne tracker comparison has more options.
Skinsign: best for lifestyle triggers
Skinsign scores acne, redness, texture and hydration from a face scan, logs food, sleep, stress and water, and looks for habits that line up with better and worse days. The catch: the AAD says the link between diet and acne needs more research, so treat a food flag as a test to run.
What should you check before trusting a new tracker with your photos?
TroveSkin's disappearance is the best argument for checking this first. Before you put months of selfies into any app, look for three things:
- Where photos live. BasicBeauty says only you see your data, Trace measures scores on the phone, and Pori keeps history on your device. Our guide to skin app privacy explains what to look for in a privacy label.
- Whether you can get them out. Save important progress photos to your camera roll or a cloud folder you control, whichever app you use.
- What happens if you stop paying. Check whether your history stays readable on the free tier before you subscribe.
Keep your photos comparable, too. Use the same window light, distance and time of day for every shot; our progress photo app guide covers apps with alignment overlays. No tracker diagnoses anything, so take a spot that changes shape or color, bleeds, or a rash that keeps spreading to a dermatologist.
How we chose
We matched apps to the five jobs TroveSkin's archived store listing describes, then kept ones that are listed and updated on the US App Store, with Android options noted. We read each listing in November 2026 for features, prices, ratings and privacy statements, and favored apps that keep your data on your device or let you use them without an account. We did not test the apps hands-on. Pori is our app, so weigh our view of it accordingly. Nothing here is medical advice.
Frequently asked questions
Is TroveSkin still available?
No. When we checked on November 7, 2026, TroveSkin wasn't on the US App Store or Google Play, and troveskin.com redirected to unrelated sites. We found no announcement explaining why.
What is the best alternative to TroveSkin?
BasicBeauty is the closest match: routines, product expiry tracking, a daily photo journal and more than 80 symptoms and lifestyle factors, free to start with no sign-up. On Android, choose FeelinMySkin.
Is there a TroveSkin alternative for Android?
Yes. FeelinMySkin, SkinSort and Skin Bliss are all on Google Play. FeelinMySkin is the closest to TroveSkin's mix of routines, photo diary and community.
Which app gives a skin score from a selfie?
Pori gives a 0 to 100 score with hydration, pores and texture, pigmentation and tone, and anti-aging readings plus a skin age estimate. Trace and Skinsign score acne-related signs. Scores shift with light, so scan the same way each time.
Can I get my old TroveSkin photos back?
If the app is still installed on your phone, open it and save any photos you care about to your camera roll now. We couldn't find an official export route or a company statement about user data.
Do skin tracker apps diagnose skin conditions?
No. Trackers log photos, products and habits so you can see trends. A spot that changes, bleeds or itches, or a spreading rash, needs a dermatologist.
