Innovative and clinically-proven skincare brand Perricone MD, announced the launch of the Cold Plasma Plus+ Concentrated Treatment Sheet Mask. Joining the cult-classic Cold Plasma Plus+ Collection, this innovative, two-piece sheet mask conforms and holds to the contours of the face to deliver the most visible signs of healthy, youthful-looking skin faster than ever before.

The Cold Plasma Plus+ Concentrated Treatment Sheet Mask immediately leaves skin feeling renewed and rejuvenated. It’s clinically proven to deliver visible significant improvement in fine lines and wrinkles, sagging skin, uneven tone, enlarged pores, and dullness in only 6 days*. This multi-tasking mask utilizes Perricone MD’s proprietary liquid crystal delivery system for faster and deeper penetration of key ingredients into the skin’s surface.

Vitamin C Ester, copper tripeptide, and phospholipids work together to reduce dullness, uneven texture, uneven tone, discoloration, and loss of firmness. Unlike traditional vitamin C, Vitamin C Ester is fat-soluble and easily absorbable for maximum antioxidant benefits resulting in a brighter, smoother appearance. Copper tripeptide is a naturally occurring complex of three amino acids that helps repair dry skin for firmer, younger-looking complexion. Phospholipids help keep skin hydrated by replenishing the skin’s moisture barrier.

@L’Oreal Group

A new partnership between L’Oréal and Verily promises to better understand and promote skin health.

L’Oréal, the world leader in beauty, and Verily, an Alphabet precision health company, announced last month a strategic partnership, exclusive in beauty, to advance skin health. The first-of-its-kind partnership in the beauty industry is expected to entail two programs aimed to better understand and characterize skin and hair aging mechanisms and to inform L’Oréal’s precision beauty tech strategy and product development.

The first is a strategic research collaboration to establish a longitudinal biological, clinical, environmental view of skin health. It combines L’Oréal’s deep scientific knowledge of skin and Verily’s comprehensive clinical science capabilities, to decode and discover the links between exposome, skin aging, and deep biology of the skin.

The second is a partnership with Verily’s R&D Team and L’Oréal’s Active Cosmetics Division, to explore the development of new technologies and tele-diagnosis solutions such as sensors, and AI algorithms for dermatology and skincare, that can form the basis for new services.

“We are excited to partner with Verily, a world leader in precision health tech. L’Oréal’s century-long commitment to pioneering innovation has come from our strong belief in the intersection between science, formulations, and our unique Advanced Research capabilities to decode revolutionary scientific discoveries that will create the future of beauty” says Nicolas Hieronimus, Chief Executive Officer, L’Oréal Group. “Thanks to this partnership, we want to lead a new era of skin health, through tech and science, to enable every person around the world the most inclusive, personalized, powerful and precise programs for their skin at each stage of their lives.”

“Verily and L’Oréal believe in the transformative power of technology to enable precision beauty and health” says Stephen Gillett, President and COO, Verily.

“We recognize skin health as a critical need for overall wellness as it not only impacts us physically in our daily lives, but also holistically. Our collective approach has the potential to identify the right intervention based on data, powered by Verily’s technology and clinical science abilities combined with L’Oréal’s beauty industry leading intelligence and dermatology network” says Brian Otis, Fellow, Co-Founder, Verily.

AI-powered skin health coach and made-to-measure connected mirrors among CES 2020 wellbeing innovations

 

The next generation of skincare must be tailored to individual needs, concerns and goals. Now tool-free, an AI-powered skin health coach with behavioral training helps users create and stick with a skincare routine to achieve their best skin ever.

Neutrogena Virtual skin health coach 2020 CES; @neutrogena

America facial skincare brand Neutrogena debuts the new Neutrogena Skin360 app at 2020 Consumer Electronics Showcase (CES) in Las Vegas. The Neutrogena Skin360 app combines advanced skin imaging, behavior coaching and artificial intelligence.

After the 2018 launch of the first-gen Neutrogena Skin360 app, which required a skin scanning tool, the NEUTROGENA Skin Tech team received valuable insight into what consumers wanted and optimized the NEUTROGENA Skin360™ app based on key learnings such as: more science-backed information, access to experts, personalized recommendations, tool-free analysis, and an ability to track any skincare product used to understand how an end-to-end skincare routine impacts skin health over time.

At the heart of the app is the Neutrogena AI Assistant (NAIA™), a virtual skin health coach. Powered by artificial intelligence and behavior change techniques NAIA™ builds a relationship with users by initiating a text conversation to determine their skincare personality, approach to skincare and current routine. NAIA then helps users identify an 8-week skincare goal that is monitored and supported with behavioral coaching.

“As part of the world’s largest healthcare company, we combined 60 years of skin health experience with 30 years of proven, sustainable behavior change research to build a powerful, comprehensive and highly-advanced skin health algorithm.” said Dr. Michael Southall, Global R&D Lead, NEUTROGENA® Skin Tech, Johnson & Johnson Consumer Health. “As more data is tracked, NAIA will use machine learning to improve analysis and recommendations, getting more precise and intelligent.”

US consumers can download the Neutrogena Skin360 app from both the App Store and Google Play for free, for use on both iPhone and Android devices.

In shifting away from a physical tool, the 180-degree selfie analysis is now powered by Perfect Corp’s YouCam technology, which provides a lightning fast analysis for a broad range of skin parameters (wrinkles, fine lines, dark under-eye circles, dark spots and smoothness). The skin analysis boosted with the extensive NEUTROGENA skincare experience and the individual’s sleep, exercise and stress levels is what creates a unique Skin360 Score. Users can also input a self-assessment of important attributes such as moisture, clarity, tone and radiance.

Over time, as Skin360 scores change, the user can learn what’s working, or not, and adjust routines accordingly.

The launch of the NEUTROGENA Skin360 app sets the foundation for a pipeline of hyper-personalized and customized products such as NEUTROGENA MaskiD™, a patent-pending, personalized 3D-printed sheet mask that will launch in Q3 2020 and will be available exclusively through the app.
