MIT's "Skinsight" Wearable to Debut at CES 2026, Revolutionizing Personalized Skincare
16 Nov
Summary
- MIT researchers develop "electronic skin" sensor patch with Amorepacific
- Skinsight tracks skin tightness, UV exposure, temperature, and moisture
- AI-powered app provides personalized skincare recommendations based on data
In the past few years, researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have been working closely with the South Korean beauty company Amorepacific to develop a groundbreaking wearable technology platform called "Skinsight." This innovative "electronic skin" sensor patch is poised to make its debut at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2026, where it has been named as one of the CES 2026 Innovation Award Honorees.
Skinsight is a Bluetooth-equipped sensor that adheres directly to the user's skin, continuously tracking key metrics such as skin tightness, UV exposure, temperature, and moisture levels. The data collected by the patch is then transmitted to a mobile app, which utilizes advanced AI algorithms to analyze the information and provide personalized skincare recommendations. Based on the user's unique skin profile, the app suggests the most suitable products and routines to address their specific needs and help slow the signs of aging.
Designed to be breathable and sweat-resistant, the Skinsight patch is intended for long-term wear, allowing users to monitor their skin health over extended periods. While the team has not yet disclosed details on the patch's availability and pricing, the unveiling of this innovative technology at CES 2026 is sure to generate significant excitement and interest within the beauty and wellness industries.
