Data & matching

How GlowMatch matching works

GlowMatch compares what you tell us with available product information. The result is a compatibility score for cosmetic discovery — not a medical recommendation or a promise of results.

What goes into a match

  • User-reported profile information
  • Confirmed GlowScan observations
  • Product characteristics
  • Preferences
  • Budget
  • Environmental context
  • Previous product feedback

Sponsored status is not an input into the compatibility score.

Sponsored products use the same formula and appear in a separate, clearly labeled area.

Data confidence is separate from your score

High

Several useful product fields are available.

Moderate

Enough information exists to score, with some gaps.

Limited

Important product information is missing; use extra care.

Hard exclusions are applied before ranking. A strict price ceiling, confirmed fragrance rule or user-identified ingredient avoidance cannot be overridden by GlowScan, feedback or sponsorship.
