AI‑based skin analysis can replace lengthy questionnaires, offering instant product recommendations.
  • Simple photo upload + location data can suggest morning vs. night routines (e.g., sunscreen + vitamin C vs. peptides).
  • Early adopters report 70 % accuracy in matching user needs, but data privacy concerns must be addressed.
  • The technology reduces onboarding friction, increasing conversion for D2C brands.
  • Implementation cost is high; only brands with sufficient funding can build proprietary models.
  • Partnerships with existing AI platforms (e.g., ModiFace) can lower entry barriers.
