SkinCeuticals, a skincare brand owned by L'Oréal, is rolling out its Custom Dose machines globally.
The machine includes a production-quality compounder that operates at 1,200 rotations a minute to mix active ingredients instantly – empowering therapists to create a personalised serum to address multiple anti-ageing issues in just 15 minutes.
The serum starts with a hydro base or light milky emulsion base and the therapist can choose from 12 possible exfoliating, brightening or enhancing ingredients to add in. Ingredients include glycolic acid, lactic acid, liquorice root extract and 0.1-0.5 per cent retinol. A treatment plan is then prescribed and the serum can be adjusted over time based on the skin's progress.
"Custom Dose acts like a mini skincare laboratory, combining lab grade formulation and factory grade manufacturing into a machine that sits on the counter," says Guive Balooch, head of L'Oréal's Technology Incubator.
The machine originally launched in London, UK, but is now available in eight countries.
