behind L’Oréal’s new pores and skin ageing predictor

On the Shopper Digital Present (CES) 2025 in Las Vegas, the L’Oréal Group has unveiled a breakthrough gadget for longevity pores and skin science, L’Oréal Cell BioPrint.

The agency mentioned that the innovation is a “tabletop {hardware} gadget” that “supplies personalised pores and skin evaluation in simply 5 minutes, utilizing superior proteomics”, which is the research of how protein composition within the human physique impacts pores and skin ageing.

L’Oréal Groupe defined that the gadget “reveals how mechanisms within the human physique can have an effect on pores and skin’s look.”

Cell BioPrint was created in partnership with the Korean startup NanoEnTek and produces a personalised pores and skin evaluation in minutes that may assess:

3. Await L’Oréal Cell BioPrint to course of the pattern, whereas the Pores and skin Join gadget takes a number of photos of their face they usually reply a brief questionnaire about pores and skin issues and ageing.

Microfluidic lab-on-a-chip know-how

Deputy CEO for analysis, innovation and know-how at L’Oréal Groupe, Barbara Lavernos, famous how the innovation was an “unique microfluidic lab-on-a-chip know-how coupled with our century-long pores and skin science management.”
