A way to accurately assess your skin’s needs!

POND’S is exploring more ways to engage with consumers by launching POND'S Skin Advisor Live (SAL). As the first-ever AI skin analysis tool to launch on TikTok in the Philippines, it helps identify your skincare needs and enhance your beauty shopping experience. Curious to try the new AI tool and see how it can transform your skincare routine? Keep scrolling to find out more!

Spend 10 minutes on TikTok, and you'll find at least a dozen influencers sharing their product recommendations and skincare hacks, and viewers are loving it. This doesn't come as a surprise, given that the platform’s beauty category has grown 14 times globally over nine months in 2022. In fact, the #skincareroutine hashtag alone has a staggering 54 billion views (and counting).

However, not all #SkinTok recommendations may be reliable. What works for one person might not suit another because people have different skin types. This is where the POND’S Skin Advisor Live comes in.

Backed by expert dermatologists, the AI tool harnesses the power of three million data points to help understand what your skin needs and find the right regimen for you. It also delivers an AI experience that's faster, more accurate, and more personalized than taking a quiz.

Using this AI tool is as easy as applying your fave TikTok filters. It's also like having a skin expert at your beck and call, available whenever and wherever you need it. Oh, and did we mention it's absolutely free? All you need to do is point your phone's camera at your face, take a selfie, and let the AI app do the complete skin analysis.

Before taking the photo, ensure you have a bare face (no makeup and glasses!) and that the room is well-lit. After the AI takes a swift scan of your face, you'll see a brief report. It analyzes an evolving roster of skin conditions, including but not limited to acne, wrinkles, dehydration, and spots. The AI tool detects the details of your skin, like redness and texture, to determine its overall health and condition. The results might surprise you!

The beauty of SAL is it gives you a breakdown of how to address every skin concern that the AI tool has detected. It highlights the problem area based on your photo. Do you have fine lines around your eyes? Dark spots on your cheek? SAL reveals them all, so you know where to start.

It also suggests skincare ingredients and routines that align with your skin's specific needs, ensuring your regimen is precisely tailored to deliver the best results. For example, if you have dull skin, it advises using a serum formulated with niasorcinol.

And if that's not enough, you also get specific product recommendations – courtesy of data from POND’S skin experts – to add to your AM and PM skincare routine. Just tap on the items to purchase the products directly on Lazada, Shopee, Watsons, and Tiktok Shop.

Your skincare discovery with POND’S Skin Advisor Live is dynamic. The AI-generated recommendations evolve with your skin, so feel free to re-take the analysis as often as you want. Think of it as a unique, at-home dermatologist session. Of course, if any of the results concern you, do consult a doctor immediately.
