Photo edit prompt
Natural skin retouch (no plastic look)
Natural skin retouch (no plastic look): a free, copy-paste prompt for Gemini and ChatGPT. Upload your photo, paste the prompt, and fill in any [BRACKETED] fields.
The prompt
Retouch this portrait naturally. Gently reduce temporary blemishes, acne, redness, and dark under-eye circles, and even out the skin tone — but keep real skin texture, pores, and natural features like moles and freckles. Do not slim the face, alter the nose or lips, or apply heavy smoothing. Result must look like high-end portrait photography.
Pro tip: If it looks too smooth, reply: “Less smoothing — bring back natural skin texture.”

Frequently asked questions
Which AI tools work with this prompt?
It is written for Gemini and ChatGPT. Both can edit a photo you upload.
Will the AI change my face?
The prompt tells the AI to keep faces and identities the same, but results vary between runs. If a face drifts, regenerate or reply "keep the face identical to the original".
Is my photo uploaded to PromptUp?
No. PromptUp only gives you the text of the prompt. You upload your photo directly to the AI tool you choose, under that tool's own privacy terms.
