FAQ
Clear answers for confident beauty choices.
DupeScan is built for transparency. Here’s how we match products, explain ingredient logic, and keep recommendations trustworthy.
Where can I search or scan products? +
Search and scan are app-first features. The website focuses on explaining how DupeScan works and why the matches are trustworthy, and it’s the best place to learn before downloading the app.
What is a beauty dupe? +
A dupe is a lower-cost product that delivers similar performance to a premium item. DupeScan looks beyond packaging and price to compare how products function and feel on skin or hair.
How does DupeScore work? +
DupeScore is a weighted match score based on ingredient similarity, functional performance, texture category, and usage goals. We explain the drivers behind each score so you can see the evidence behind the match.
Does DupeScan compare ingredients only? +
Ingredients are just one layer. We also evaluate product format, finish, user goals, and performance claims. That way, a dupe is a practical alternative, not just a list that looks similar.
Are recommendations sponsored? +
No. DupeScan does not accept paid placements. Matches are generated from transparent comparison logic so you can trust the results without influencer hype.
Where do the retailer links go? +
Links take you directly to trusted retailers or brand sites where the products are available. We prioritise reputable sources so you can shop securely and compare prices with confidence.
Can I trust the matches? +
Yes. We show the evidence behind every recommendation—ingredients, functional match notes, and scoring factors—so you can make the final call based on real data, not marketing.
