Amorepacific has been named a CES 2026 Innovation Award Honoree in the Beauty Tech category for its Skinsight technology.

This marks the company’s seventh consecutive year of recognition at the CES Innovation Awards.

Skinsight is a next-generation “electronic skin” platform co-developed by Amorepacific and researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).

The platform analyzes the causes of skin aging in real time and proposes personalized skincare solutions tailored to each individual’s needs.

Byung-Fhy Brian Suh, CTO and Head of Amorepacific R&I Center, said,

“Skinsight represents a breakthrough platform that moves beyond simply observing the skin to predicting and managing its changes through scientific precision. It embodies Amorepacific’s vision of ‘Ageless Beauty,’ beauty that is no longer bound by time. Through advanced scientific technologies, we aim to predict the causes of skin aging and continuously expand individual beauty—ultimately opening up a new era of Longevity as defined by Amorepacific, where the skin’s natural vitality endures.”

How It Works

Skinsight consists of an ultra-thin wearable sensor patch, a compact Bluetooth transmission module, and an AI-powered mobile application.

The patch, equipped with a high-sensitivity strain sensor, adheres to the skin and simultaneously detects micrometer-level changes in key aging-related factors—skin tightness, UV/blue light exposure, temperature, and moisture.

Data is transmitted in real time via the Bluetooth module, and the AI-powered application integrates the dataset with daily lifestyle patterns to model the composite exposome over a 24-hour cycle.

The system identifies factors that accelerate skin aging for the individual user, predicts where and how wrinkles or loss of elasticity may appear, and provides personalized skincare routine and product recommendations.

Skinsight incorporates MIT Professor Jeehwan Kim and his team’s ‘remote epitaxy’ fabrication method and a ‘piezotronic sensor’ architecture with electron-level sensitivity.

The technology provides excellent breathability, allowing the patch to remain securely attached even during perspiration, and conform closely to the skin’s natural contours for stable, long-term use.

This enables reliable tracking of skin changes in various daily environments and collects highly individualized data.

Research findings on Skinsight have been published in international journals, including Science and Science Advances.

Skinsight was also utilized to test First Care Activating Serum, the signature product from Amorepacific’s luxury brand Sulwhasoo, to substantiate its efficacy in improving skin tightness.

The company has filed four related patents through PCT international applications and secured registrations in multiple countries, including South Korea and the United States.
