The MyRestorsea app allows consumers to experience a [digital skincare trial](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/refreshed-neutrogena-skin360) of Restorsea's two popular beauty products including the Revitalizing Eye Cream and the Rejuvenating Day Cream. Now online shoppers can virtually see how these products would dramatically improve the texture of your skin before they purchase them.

The Restorsea app allows consumers to upload a picture of their skin and then virtually 'apply' their chosen Restorsea product on top. The app will generate a before-and-after set of images so you can see the potential results the product will have on your skin. Other unique features include a [personalized medicine cabinet](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/face-yoga-app-luvly) that you can fill up with products you currently use and [personal skin consultations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/skinceuticals-1) given by Restorsea's founder Patti Pao.
