Skinsight, the advanced electronic skin platform co-developed by Amorepacific and MIT, has been recognized as a CES 2026 Innovation Award Honoree in the Beauty Tech category. This platform analyzes causes of skin aging in real time and offers personalized skincare solutions tailored to individual needs. This is made possible with an ultra-thin, breathable wearable sensor patch, a Bluetooth transmission module, and an AI-powered mobile app. Thanks to its high-sensitivity strain sensor, the patch detects micrometer-level changes to skin tightness, UV/blue light exposure, temperature, and moisture, all of which are factors that contribute to visible aging.
Skinsight was used to test the First Care Activating Serum, the signature product from Amorepacific's Sulwhasoo brand, backing up its efficacy in improving skin tightness.
