The prompt

Retouch this portrait conservatively. Remove temporary blemishes and stray hairs only. Even out blotchy skin tone while keeping every pore, fine line and bit of texture exactly as it is. Reduce shine and flash hotspots without flattening the skin. Brighten the eyes slightly and clean up the whites without making them glow. Balance the exposure across the face. Leave permanent features — moles, freckles, scars, laugh lines — completely untouched. The result must read as a real photograph: natural skin texture with visible pores, believable light direction and shadow falloff, correct anatomy and hands.

“Use it” opens the editor with this prompt already loaded — add your photo and generate. Copy works anywhere else: ChatGPT, Gemini, Midjourney.

One thing that helps

Name what you want kept. 'Keep the freckles' works; assuming it will is how you lose them.
