What is L’Oréal Paris Skin Genius?

The L’Oréal Paris Skin Genius tool uses a personal skin care analysis to understand your specific skin care concerns in order to recommend products that can help to target them. Powered by artificial intelligence and developed using a database of 10,000 facial images taken by real dermatologists and experts, it analyzes five key skin attributes to evaluate the aging process of your skin. All you need to do is take a selfie or upload one using your phone or computer’s camera, answer a few basic questions and let the tool work its magic. Then you can discover a skin care routine, equipped with products, to get on your journey to your best skin. It’s like getting expert skin care advice without needing to travel to a derm.

Editor’s tip: In order to get the most accurate results, remove your makeup and glasses (if you wear specs) before taking your selfie. Be sure to look directly into the camera and try to keep a neutral expression. And take your photo in a well-lit area or under natural light.

How The Skin Genius Virtual Tool Works

The Skin Genius tool analyzes five facial zones to evaluate how your quality ranks amongst people of your age range. Those areas include wrinkles, pore quality, firmness, even tone and radiance. It tells you which areas should be your main focus and where you are doing well on your skin journey.

 

Click forward to check out more details about what each area of focus includes and examples of some products that may be included into your regimen to target them.

1. Wrinkles

Skin Genius looks at different types of wrinkles, including forehead wrinkles, glabellar wrinkles (also known as eleven lines), periorbital wrinkles (the ones around the eyes), and marionette lines (the wrinkles in the corners of your mouth).

If you find yourself fighting to reduce the appearance of wrinkles, reach for the L’Oréal Paris Revitalift Derm Intensives Night Serum, 0.3% Retinol. Formulated with an optimal concentration of pure retinol, it refines skin texture and brightens while visibly reducing wrinkles over time. Use it at night and be sure to follow up with a moisturizer with SPF, such as the L’Oréal Paris Revitalift Triple Power Day Lotion SPF 30, the following morning as retinol can increase skin’s sensitivity to the sun.

2. Pore Quality

The tool also looks for the presence of enlarged pores which can originate from oily skin, dry areas, blackheads or sagging skin. As part of your skin care routine for enlarged pores, you’ll want to incorporate the L’Oréal Paris Revitalift Derm Intensives 3.5% Glycolic Acid Cleanser for a daily cleanse that gently exfoliates and leaves skin feeling hydrated and refreshed.

3. Firmness

Skin Genius examines your skin elasticity in two areas: upper cheeks and lower contours.

 

If skin firmness is a challenge for you consider adding the L’Oréal Paris Revitalift Derm Intensives 1.5% Pure Hyaluronic Acid Serum to your skin care routine. This day-to-night serum not only helps your skin hold onto much-needed moisture, thus resulting in firmer and more radiant skin over time, it smooths wrinkles and gives the complexion a brighter appearance.

You may also have your attention turned to the L’Oréal Paris Age Perfect Collagen Expert Day Moisturizer with SPF 30 and L’Oréal Paris Age Perfect Collagen Expert Night Moisturizer for Face, which both contain collagen peptides to give the skin firmness, volume and bounce.

4. Even Tone

The virtual tool looks at skin uniformity by analyzing natural pigmentation, like freckles, and detecting discoloration on your cheeks. 

If you’re suffering from dark spots and other forms of skin discoloration, the L’Oréal Paris Revitalift Derm Intensives 10% Pure Glycolic Acid Serum may become your new BFF. Blended with aloe vera for its soothing benefits, this daily serum resurfaces and refines skin texture. Over time, skin tone is visibly more even and dark spots are reduced. 

Additionally, the L’Oréal Paris Revitalift Derm Intensives 5% Glycolic Acid Peeling Toner is formulated with this powerhouse AHA to help remove dead cells from the skin’s surface and reduce the appearance of dark spots, and contains aloe vera to soothe the skin as it exfoliates it.

5. Radiance

Skin Genius examines different attributes that can affect radiance, such as dehydrated skin, wrinkles, enlarged pores, firmness and visible spots. Fortunately, the L’Oréal Paris Revitalift Derm Intensives 10% Pure Vitamin C Serum is a radiance booster sealed tightly in an easy-to-use, on-the-go tube. This fragrance- and paraben-free lightweight serum reduces wrinkles and restores the skin’s healthy radiance after just one week of daily use. Gently smooth it onto the face and neck morning and night.
