This partnership marks a significant step in the digital evolution of the pharmacy shopping experience, combining interactive technology with the convenience and familiarity of the pharmacy environment.
Digital Innovation and AI-Powered Skin Analysis in Pharmacies
Pharmacies are becoming an important destination for skincare purchases, as consumers increasingly turn to places where they can receive product guidance and explore solutions aligned with their individual concerns. By integrating Perfect Corp.'s technology, BENU parapharmacy of Citylife is enhancing this journey with a new digital touchpoint that makes product discovery more intuitive and accessible.
Customers can now access the experience in BENU parapharmacy through smart, illuminated mirrors provided by Inovshop. With a quick facial scan, Perfect Corp.'s Skincare Pro solution analyzes several facial features and identifies eight skin concerns including spots, wrinkles, acne, redness, eye bags, dark circles, radiance, firmness as well as the skin type. The results are delivered directly on an iPad interface and paired with personalized suggestions drawn from more than 200 skincare products from major brands integrated into the recommendation system.
By offering a streamlined, interactive skin analysis experience, BENU can provide customers with relevant product recommendations in just seconds, creating a more engaging and personalized in-store journey.
