GildedProof

GildedProof is a mobile app that helps shoppers verify luxury skincare authenticity and freshness at the point of purchase—especially in resale, duty-free, marketplaces, and “too-good-to-be-true” deals. Users scan a product’s barcode/QR, batch/lot code, and packaging details, then the app returns a confidence score with reasons (e.g., batch format mismatch, impossible manufacture date, known counterfeit packaging markers). It also tracks expiration after opening (PAO) and flags risky sellers based on community reports and purchase metadata. This is not a magic “scan and know” tool; it’s a structured verification workflow that combines brand batch-code rules, image checks, and marketplace risk signals to reduce expensive mistakes and skin reactions. Monetization: subscription for frequent buyers, plus per-check credits for occasional users, and optional “verified listing” tools for resellers.
