Perfect Corp adds new skin diagnostic tool to YouCam Makeup

Perfect Corporation has added a new augmented reality (AR) skin diagnostic tool to its YouCam Makeup app to provide users with a personalised skin assessment experience.

The new tool analyses a user’s selfie and scores skin health based on wrinkles, spots, texture and dark circles. Users can track the results and check their skincare regimen’s efficacy over time in the Skin Diary.

The tool delivers a detailed skin health report that comprises skin age and associated skin scores compared to the same user demographic.

Perfect Corp CEO Alice Chang said: “Skincare is the foundation of every healthy beauty regimen, and facial care is especially relevant for our selfie-loving community.”

Chang added that the tool will aid users to understand their overall skin health and track skin condition, enabling them to make informed beauty decisions.

The tool assesses the skin condition based on AR facial recognition technology, artificial intelligence (AI) and deep learning by using the camera on the user’s smartphone.

It can also balance lighting conditions and normalise environmental factors to accurately track changes in the skin conditions over time.
