You Texture and fine lines around the eyes
Dr. Chen's Analyst That's the most common concern I see in women 35–45. The skin around the eyes is 40% thinner than the rest of the face, which is why topicals alone rarely work there…

Why I built this

After 15 years in practice, I got tired of watching patients waste thousands.

Every week, a patient would sit down in my chair holding a bag of products that cost more than their mortgage. None of it was working. Most of it was working against them.

The problem isn't that skincare is a scam. It's that the right protocol for your skin is buried under 10,000 ad-funded reviews written by people who've never seen you.

So I taught myself to code. I built an analyst that runs the same consultation I run — the one that starts with the right questions, cross-references every major clinical study, and ends with a protocol that actually matches what you have.

It's free because the 2026 skincare industry doesn't deserve another paywall.

Important The Chen Protocol Analyst provides general skincare guidance based on clinical research and aggregated user outcomes. It is not a substitute for an in-person medical consultation, diagnosis, or care. If you have a medical condition, are pregnant, or are using prescription skin medication, consult a licensed dermatologist before starting any new protocol. Product recommendations are based on fit to your answers — individual results vary.
