Luminal
Coming soon

Progress photos that track how your face changes.

The mirror doesn't remember. Luminal does.

Build a day-by-day record of your face and scroll back through it for years. Check whether a change is real, see what a treatment did, and remember how you looked in every chapter of your life.

It takes under 30 seconds. Luminal lines up each shot automatically, so you can put any two dates side by side and see what's changed.

Free to start. Your photos are never paywalled.

Never paywalled

Free to start. Your photos stay yours, and you can always see them.

Your data

Patterns, not verdicts

Luminal shows patterns in your own photos and logs. It can't prove that a product or treatment caused a change, and it isn't medical advice.

Your routine

No product recommendations

Luminal tracks what you already use. It doesn't sell, rank or recommend products.

What it does

A daily photo is the base. Everything else is built on it.

On top of your photos, Luminal helps you follow a treatment, check whether a routine is showing, or hold on to a whole stretch of your life.

01 · Treatments and life events

Guided journeys

Pick the treatment course or life event you're going through and Luminal guides you through what to log along the way. Every entry lines up against your photos, so you can see what was happening on the days your face changed.

02 · Skincare

Is it working?

Log your skincare routine and Luminal tracks how long each product has been in it. It knows roughly how many weeks each product or ingredient takes to show a change, so it compares your photos at the right point and tells you if anything seems to have moved, or that it's too early to say.

A face for every chapter

Notes Coming soon

Notes that find patterns

Jot down a short phrase about your sleep, your diet, your stress, anything. Luminal looks for relationships between what you wrote and how you look in your photos, and surfaces the ones worth a closer look.

Chat Coming soon

Luminal AI

A chat for your photos. Ask what looks different between two periods and it tells you what it sees, or that nothing has noticeably changed. Or ask it to do something for you, like labelling a date range as a chapter.

Luminal shows patterns in your own photos and logs. It can't prove that a product or treatment caused a change, and it isn't medical advice.

How it works

Thirty seconds a day. Then look back.

01

Luminal aligns it

Open Luminal and hold your phone up. It guides you into position and fires the moment you're aligned — no guessing, no retakes.

02

Confirm your routine

One quick check of what you're using — treatments, skincare, anything else. It rarely changes, so most days it's a single tap.

03

Watch the story unfold

Come back anytime to compare two dates side by side, generate a timelapse, or scroll the full timeline and see the whole arc for yourself.
