Question 1

Is BlendSafe free to use?

Accepted Answer

Yes. BlendSafe is free to start. Users can check skincare products, ingredients, and medication combinations without creating an account. Some advanced features — such as saved routines, exports, expanded history, or future premium tools — may require a subscription after launch.

Question 2

What does AVOID mean?

Accepted Answer

AVOID means BlendSafe identified a stronger interaction concern between a medication and one or more skincare ingredients. This may involve increased irritation risk, barrier stress, photosensitivity, duplicate retinoids, or ingredient combinations commonly discouraged together. It does not necessarily mean the product itself is “bad” — it means the combination deserves extra caution.

Question 3

Can I use BlendSafe while taking Accutane?

Accepted Answer

Yes. BlendSafe is especially useful for users taking medications such as isotretinoin (Accutane), tretinoin, adapalene, doxycycline, spironolactone, and other treatments commonly associated with dryness, irritation, or sun sensitivity.

Question 4

Does BlendSafe replace a dermatologist?

Accepted Answer

No. BlendSafe is an educational skincare safety tool and does not replace professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Users should always follow the guidance of their dermatologist, physician, or pharmacist — especially for prescription medications or active skin conditions.

Question 5

What if my product is not in the database?

Accepted Answer

Users may still: • paste ingredient lists manually • search by ingredient • try alternative product naming • use barcode lookup when available • use future ingredient/photo extraction tools as they expand BlendSafe’s product catalog continues to grow over time.

Question 6

How accurate are BlendSafe results?

Accepted Answer

BlendSafe uses ingredient interaction logic, medication safety guidance, FDA labeling references, and dermatology-related research sources to identify potential skincare concerns. SAFE means no known flagged concern was identified in the available data — not that every individual reaction is guaranteed. Personal skin sensitivity, allergies, dosage, and routine structure still matter.

Question 7

What medications does BlendSafe support?

Accepted Answer

BlendSafe currently supports a growing list of medications commonly associated with skincare concerns, including retinoids, antibiotics, hormonal medications, topical prescriptions, and other treatments linked to irritation or photosensitivity.

Question 8

Can BlendSafe check supplements too?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Some supplements may also affect skincare sensitivity or interact with active ingredients. BlendSafe may flag certain supplement-related concerns when relevant information is available.

Question 9

Where does BlendSafe interaction data come from?

Accepted Answer

BlendSafe references publicly available dermatology guidance, FDA label information, ingredient safety research, and medication-related skincare literature to help identify potential concerns. The platform is designed as a safety-awareness tool, not a diagnostic system.
