Just as there are wearables for tracking various dimensions of health, the Lumeria Lumoscope is a clip-on phone attachment that works with a companion app to make clinic-style skin imaging accessible from home. There's an overwhelming amount of problem-solving skincare solutions available, but when it comes to what actually works for their individual needs, even savvy consumers can sometimes find themselves in the dark. To illuminate the conditions of the skin and the solutions that are yielding real results, the Lumoscope helps to decode ingredients and deliver hyper-personalized advice.
While there's only so much data that can be gathered by looking in a mirror or taking a selfie with a phone's camera, the Lumoscope uses three types of light (visible light, UV light, and polarized light) to provide insight into redness, pigmentation, sebum patterns, texture, pores, and gloss on the surface of the skin.
