Is TroveSkin shut down? What actually happened
Short answer: yes. TroveSkin was pulled from the App Store and Google Play around 2025, logins stopped working, and the company went quiet. Here is the full picture — and what to do about your data.
The short answer
TroveSkin is shut down. The app was removed from both the App Store and Google Play, the website stopped responding, and accounts can no longer log in. There was no wind-down announcement and no data-export window — one day it worked, then it didn't.
What users saw, in order
- Logins started failing. Existing users — including paying subscribers — found themselves locked out of their accounts.
- The website went dark. troveskin.com began returning errors instead of the product site.
- The store listings vanished.Searching either store for TroveSkin now returns nothing, which is why so many people search for "troveskin removed from app store."
- Silence. No email to users, no social post, no support replies. In community threads, longtime users describe losing years of skin records and progress photos overnight.
Why it happened
Nobody outside the company knows for certain, because nothing was communicated. What is verifiable: the Singapore-based startup behind the app — once a Best of Google Play winner with millions of downloads — is now listed as inactive in startup databases, and its founder has moved on to a new role. That pattern matches a quiet business shutdown, not a technical outage or a temporary store removal.
If the app is still on your phone
Act now, before an OS update or reinstall wipes it. If TroveSkin still opens, screenshot everything you care about: progress photos, routine history, notes. Locally cached data is likely the only copy left anywhere — the servers behind the account are gone.
What to do next
Don't let the habit die with the app. We've written up where TroveSkin users can go now — including how to judge whether a replacement can vanish the same way. And if you're a man around 40 or older, that is exactly who we're building Rhune for: a short daily routine with a weekly face scan as proof, photos on your device, and export and deletion promised in writing before launch — not after a shutdown.
Common questions
Was TroveSkin removed from the App Store?
Yes. TroveSkin is no longer listed on the App Store or Google Play. Users first noticed logins failing and the website erroring around 2025, and the store listings disappeared around the same time. There was no removal notice from the company.
Why did TroveSkin shut down?
No official reason was ever given — there was no announcement, blog post, or support reply. Startup databases now list the Singapore-based company as inactive and its founder has moved to a new role, which points to a quiet business shutdown rather than a temporary outage.
Is my TroveSkin data gone?
If you can no longer log in, almost certainly yes — there was no export window before the shutdown. If the app is still installed and opens, screenshot your progress photos and records now; whatever is cached on your phone is likely all that remains.
Will TroveSkin come back?
Nothing suggests so. The company appears inactive, the domains and store listings are gone, and no one is answering support. Treat it as permanently closed and move your tracking habit somewhere that can't vanish the same way.
