How this service works
Price per percent active ingredient — normalized skincare value analysis across product options. The hidden dollar-per-concentration number brands don’t publish, computed only where real concentration data exists (never estimated from an undisclosed %).
Output
A JSON array of analyzed products, each with the product name, detected concentration signal (e.g. '10%'), and a computed price-per-percent-active metric. Only products with real, disclosed concentration data are included; products with undisclosed concentrations are excluded rather than estimated.
Example use cases
Budget vitamin C serum comparison
“I'm choosing between three vitamin C serums — Skinceuticals C E Ferulic at $170, The Ordinary Ascorbic Acid 8% at $7, and Timeless 20% Vitamin C at $25. Can you calculate the price-per-percent active ingredient for each so I can see which is actually worth the money?”
Retinol product value audit
“I've got three retinol products I'm considering: RoC Retinol Correxion 0.5% for $22, La Roche-Posay Pure Retinol 0.3% for $40, and The Inkey List 1% Retinol for $12 — what's the price-per-percent-active on each of these?”
Salicylic acid acne treatment ranking
“Rank these salicylic acid products by value per concentration: Paula's Choice 2% BHA Liquid at $34, The Ordinary Salicylic Acid 2% Masque at $9, and Stridex Maximum 2% pads at $8 — give me the price per percent active for each.”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://glowpulse-nine.vercel.app/api/glow/price-per-activeWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when a user wants an objective, normalized cost-efficiency metric for skincare products based on actual labeled active-ingredient concentrations. Prefer this over generic product review or recommendation endpoints when the user specifically wants to compare value per unit of active ingredient rather than overall product quality or user ratings. Only effective when concentration data is publicly available on product labels.
Side effects
- Product concentration not publicly disclosed — endpoint returns no result or excludes that product rather than estimating
- Product not recognized or insufficient data to parse concentration — returns empty or partial results
- Price data not provided or unresolvable — cannot compute ratio
- Multiple active ingredients present without specification — ambiguous which active to normalize against
