We've seen hair care and makeup brands have provide bespoke options, but now, personalized beauty is coming to skin. These skin care [1] brands are allowing us to take on the role of a chemist, controlling what ingredients make it into our serums, masks, and moisturisers [2]. By filling out a quick survey either online or at a derm's office (and for one brand, snapping a selfie of your skin), you'll be able to buy products that were formulated just for you.
Take control of your skin regimen with the five brands, ahead.
Skinsei Customized Skin Care
New beauty brand Skinsei [3] — which is launching any day now — creates a 5-piece regimen of skin care essentials (like a dry sheet mask, serum, moisture, among other options) based on a personality quiz. It looks at everything from your location, diet, stress levels, and exercise levels to find the perfect solutions for you.
Dermacare
Dermacare [4] ($20 a month) allows you to get a customized acne prescription and moisturiser. Just submit a selfie and answer a quick questionnaire on your concerns, and the treatments are shipped to you in just a few days.
Skinceuticals Custome D.O.S.E. Serum
Skinceuticals Custom D.O.S.E Serum [5] ($195) is an in-office system that blends together effective ingredients to help you achieve all your skin goals in just one bottle. A dermatologist will have you fill out a very specific questionnaire to get down to the nitty gritty of your concern (for example, if your skin doesn't respond well to retinol, you'll be able to specify that). Then, you'll watch as a heavy-duty machine dispenses and shakes up the ingredients to create your custom formula. Click here [6] to see if this is available in your dermatologist's office.
