Perfect Corp. the leading artificial intelligence (AI) and augmented reality (AR) beauty and fashion tech solutions provider, released its latest Global Beauty Trend Report this week, looking at the rise of AI skin technology.

Consumer interest in skincare and skin health has skyrocketed in recent years, with many consumers prioritising skincare routines as a key component of wellness. This trend was amplified during the Covid-19 pandemic when many consumers stayed at home and found comfort in skincare regimens as a way to ease stress and practice self-care.
As a result, interest in AI skin technology and digital skin analysis tools has also increased significantly. In 2022 alone, there were over 19 Million interactions with the skin score quiz in Perfect Corp.’s YouCam Makeup app, as consumers sought to better understand their skin and the products needed to treat their unique skin concerns.
As the need for precise skin technology increases, Perfect Corp.’s AI Skin Analysis technology has emerged as a groundbreaking tool that has helped top skincare brands provide customers with personalised product recommendations tailored to specific skin concerns.
The report explores the findings of Dr. Steven Feldman’s recent study, which compared Perfect Corp.’s AI Skin technology to both physician skin assessments and the imaging systems commonly used in clinical settings. The study confirmed that Perfect Corp.’s AI Skin technology is a precise tool for performing skin assessments in clinical settings, paving the way for the technology to transform how dermatologists and medical spa providers deliver skin assessments in clinical settings.
