Seems like it is just works for some people. These dramatic videos get clicks. It made some odd and inhuman looking adjustments to my gf. Made her cheek bones look weird and mouth to wide. Not as good as I seen her with pro make up. Interestingly it didn't change anything about me, a male. Maybe I'm already beautiful?

The teen one didn't look good for us either. Face was too smooth, didn't handle stubble on my face. Looked nothing like how I actually looked at 18.

I don't think there's anything to worry about yet

I tried the teen one, and had a similar result. I don't think it plays nicely with a full beard, but I definitely didn't see a younger version of myself on the screen.

I have a largish beard and my kids are always amused by how badly the filters work with the beard. It's like the edge detection for faces gets completely thrown off by it, so the filter just half removes it, leaving an aurora of beard outside my fake filtered face.
