L--Or--al, and its recently acquired augmented reality (AR) and artificial intelligence (AI) entity Modiface, have teamed up to introduce a new digital skin diagnostic tool. The new AI powered SkinConsult - for the firm--s Vichy brand - has been trained using 6,000 images from its Skin Ageing Atlases database in order to deliver accurate skin assessment for all skin types. Three groups of women from Asian, Caucasian and African ethnicities were used in the image collection process across Japan, France, China, India and the US. The Vichy SkinConsult will provide customers with a tailored diagnostic in three steps. Customers can upload a selfie to the brand--s website, after which they will receive feedback on fine lines, dark spots, wrinkles and pores before receiving a tailored product routine to address these concerns.
