A hand dispenser of skin care products is paving the way for anti-aging innovation; it even has an award to prove it.
NuSkin’s ageLOC Me won The Techies 2016 award for the most innovative product in retail, thanks to its consistency, convenience, personalized approach to skin care regimen.
AgeLOC Me is a smart delivery device, a result of a $35-million four-year R&D project. It dispenses a customized regimen of anti-aging products, by the same company, of course, based on a skin care self-assessment of the user. The app-based assessment (available on iOs and Android) takes into account skin care needs and concerns, environmental factors (such as current location), and personal preferences to determine the user’s specific set of products from more than 2,000 combinations.
In a way, it provides a solution to product choice overload some may face when looking for anti-aging products that best suit their needs, Nu Skin Enterprises Philippines corporate communications manager associate Ren de la Cruz told Manila Standard.
“With ageLOC Me, you answer questions and we find out the right combination of products for you,” said De la Cruz.
The battery-operated customized skin care device has five cartridges: three for serums and two for moisturizers—day and night. Each serum addresses a certain skin aging concern: green cartridge for pigmentation, purple for cellular turnover, and blue for lines and wrinkles, they are mixed in accordance to the user’s needs.
AgeLOC Me precisely dispenses day and night regimen twice: serum first then moisturizer next.
“What we want you is for you not to have trouble applying or choosing which you would use more of [when it comes to serums]. So that when you put your hand under [the device], it dispenses exactly what your skin needs at the moment, based on the skin type and skin condition you have,” explains Dela Cruz.
Dispensing of products is touch-less and the cartridges are air-sealed, therefore it’s hygienic. The device learns when the customer takes doses of serum; it subtracts the earliest and latest time to find out the average time the user takes his doses. It also blinks for 30 minutes or until it dispenses the regimen to remind the user should they have forgotten.
According Nu Skin officials, as told to Techworld, ageLOC Me caters to the three emerging trends in beauty today: the increase in popularity of anti-aging products, the trend towards product customization, and the growth of beauty devices industry.
“Nu Skin’s extensive experience and research in these areas, provides customers a personalized skin care regimen from a single, smart device that is easy to use,” said Chief Scientific Officer Dr. Joseph Chang.
AgeLOC Me is now available in the Philippines. Each unit retails at P40,000 and comes with a one-month calibration set, which, according to De la Cruz, is a mild version of each product to prime the user’s skin before they get into their personal regimen. A cartridge set is at P12,000, it comes with three 9ml serums and two 15ml moisturizers.
