ACNE INDEX (APPEARANCE-BASED)

What Is the Acne Index?

The Acne Index reflects the visible appearance of blemishes on the skin surface under normal lighting conditions. It focuses on how noticeable spots, marks, or uneven areas associated with breakouts appear visually.

This index is appearance-based and cosmetic only. It does not diagnose acne, identify skin conditions, or assess skin health in a medical sense.

Why the Acne Index Matters for Skin Appearance

Visible blemishes can influence how smooth, clear, and even the skin appears. Acne-related appearance cues may affect:

• The perception of overall skin clarity
• How refined or textured the skin looks
• The way light reflects across the skin surface
• Confidence in wearing minimal or no makeup

When blemishes appear less prominent, skin often looks clearer, calmer, and more visually balanced.

What Can Influence the Acne Index

Common, non-medical factors that may influence the appearance of blemishes include:

• Visible oiliness or surface shine
• Recent skincare or cosmetic product use
• Skin surface congestion appearance
• Environmental exposure
• Lighting and shadowing conditions

These factors affect how blemishes appear visually rather than indicating biological causes or severity.

How Mizics Estimates the Acne Index

Mizics analyses surface patterns, contrast variations, and irregular texture features across visible skin areas. By identifying visual markers commonly associated with blemishes, the system estimates acne-related appearance characteristics.

This estimation is completed within seconds using photo-based analysis and does not require storing your image.
