Informational platform for active ingredients in skincare

Informational platform for active ingredients in skincare

This project is an experience for users to explore and learn what skincare active ingredients are, how they are used, and which ingredients are best suited for their needs.


There aren’t many platforms that talks about active ingredients in skincare in both a informational and interactive way. Some platforms help users form products with ingredients made for their skin, however, users aren’t fully informed what the ingredients do.


The goal is to cater toward users while having it be fun and informational. Users will be able to find out what ingredients works for them while being able to learn what each of them does, and how it should be used. The delivery will have many illustrations to provide a fun and exciting experience.

Exploring different UX trends can really lead the project in the right directions. Sometimes I’ve been stuck on how an interface should look and exploring trends and researching more usually gives me the right ideas and directions to go in.
