In addition to skin care, L’Oréal says the device will also be able create custom formulas for lipstick and foundation, altough those capabilities which will launch at a later date.
Users open the Perso mobile app and take a photo with their smartphone camera. Utilizing L’Oréal-owned ModiFace technology, the app uses AI to analyze the user’s overall skin condition, including deep wrinkles, fine lines, the appearance of dark spots and pore visibility; consumers can enter their own specific concerns (pore size, dullness, etc) as well.
The device will dispense a single dose of product.
