Frequently asked
Is CureSkin better than SkinKraft?
Both personalise — the difference is depth. SkinKraft personalises from a questionnaire; CureSkin analyses actual photos of your skin with AI built for Indian skin, then a real dermatologist (one of 100+) finalises and manages your plan with follow-ups, chat and diet guidance until results. For active concerns like acne, pigmentation or melasma, photos plus a doctor beat a quiz.
Can I switch from SkinKraft to CureSkin?
Yes — start with the photo analysis in the CureSkin app; mention what you've been using so your dermatologist can transition your routine safely.
What does CureSkin cost?
Personalised treatment kits start around ₹1,700, including dermatologist review, follow-ups and diet guidance. Pan-India delivery.
