This diagnosis boasts of 92% accuracy, which is a high pass.

Based on that, there can be personalized recommended formulations using its extensive ingredient database, which are all eco-friendly and fit your lifestyle.

The advantages of these advancements are hyper-personalization through individual analysis to develop products and formulas best for your skin type. This procedure brings about the production of products on demand to avoid wastage of products and also reduces trial-and-error shopping for you. The most interesting thing is that you can encounter some of these beauty styles on a professional level diagnostics at home, or when you walk into beauty stores.

However, the disadvantages of these methods are the high equipment costs for the average consumer. There are also strict safety standards attached to them, so it’s not widely made available in the country and beyond yet. The risk of sensitive personal data being exposed is still raising concerns about the method of treatment. Also, since AI is trained on limited data, it might misinterpret diverse skin tones, which can lead to wrong product formulation or recommendation.

Above all the cons, beauty technology is slowly taking over the market. It shows us how skincare is being globally considered and how the beauty industry is constantly breaking into several countries’ markets.
