How It Works

You must grant a Beauty Advisor permission to take a series of photographs of Yourself using Lancôme’s photo booth technology . Your photographs are processed and analyzed locally on the iPad connected to the photobooth. Lancôme will use an algorithm to analyze the photographs to detect face landmarks to localize the region around key facial features (i.e., outline of eyes, lower part of nose, outline of lips, etc.). This information is used for visualization (e.g., present skin concern zones on the selfie) and to provide You with the requested service (e.g., analyze the correct areas of the face needed to identify skin concerns to provide you with skin care recommendations). It is not used to identify or verify the identity of any individual.

Lancôme will use additional and separate algorithms to analyze the photograph to assess signs of skin ageing using multiple dimensions (e.g., location of wrinkles, redness, microvessels, cheek pores, pigmentation around eyes, UV damage, ptosis of lower face, density of pigmentation, etc.). This information is used to calculate skin concerns (e.g., blotchiness, lack of radiance, size of pores, pigmentation, fine lines, firmness, depth of wrinkles, UV damage), which are used to provide You with results.

Based on results of the foregoing and the information you provide, such as gender, age, Your skin type, Your skin concerns (such as sensitivity), eye concerns, skintone, and products used, you will be provided with Your results and recommended products. Results may include information such as skin radiance, even tone, pore quality, pigmentation, firmness, fine lines, and wrinkles; a comparison to people within your age range and/or skin quality; and a suggested skincare routine.

At the conclusion of the consultation all consultation data is sent to L’Oréal’s central cloud-based hub. Lancôme and Lancôme’s parent company, L’Oreal S.A., will use information as described in this Notice, including for analytics, market research, and to improve the algorithms to enhance products and services.
