ChatGPT is investing in the cosmetics sphere. Artificial intelligence takes on the role of skincare expert and delivers its own beauty prescription. After a month of meticulous care, the results are astounding.
Exit dermatologists and other beauty professionals, ChatGPT takes the reins of your skincare routine. Ali Finneyjournalist for Allure magazine, specializing in cosmetics, reveals that she was guided by artificial intelligence to take care of her skin. For 30 days, she scrupulously applied the various treatments prescribed by the chatbot, while asking a few dermatologists for their opinion on the cosmetics applied. And the verdict is astonishing.
At the end of November, Ali Finney wrote to ChatGPT: “I’m looking for advice on skin care. I have dry, rosacea-prone skin and severe hyperpigmentation. I like clean products and am willing to splurge financially. Please provide me with recommendations.” The artificial intelligence thus gave an overview of the cosmetics it recommended for the journalist. These were divided into two parts: a morning routine and a night routine, supplemented with some application tips. The first routine consisted of cleanser, toner, serum, moisturizer and sunscreen with varying prices between 38 and 300 dollars. The second routine listed the same type of products, replacing sunscreen with a local skin treatment. The cleanser and serum remained the same as those used in the morning. Finally, the advice aimed to gradually introduce each product in order to monitor the skin’s reactions and to consult a dermatologist to treat problems such as rosacea. All that remained was for Ali Finney to play the game!
What results after one month of application?
Before adhering to this skincare routine, Ali Finney surrounded herself with dermatologists who analyzed the chatbot prescription. Melissa Kanchanapoomi, a dermatologist in New York, said she “found the suggestions for ingredients and formulations quite accurate and a great starting point.” An observation supported by Shereene Idriss, also a dermatologist. She added that it was important to “focus on your overall skincare routine rather than trying to combat dryness, hyperpigmentation and rosacea.” Ali Finney then followed protocol. She reveals: “The cleanser soothed my complexion, removing dirt without stripping my skin. The toner was a nice bonus product that I didn’t usually use, leaving my skin feeling incredibly smooth. The serums brightened and helped ease inflammation, leaving my less red complexion. And the moisturizers made me feel like I was pampering my skin morning and evening.” A pleasant surprise for the journalist. At the end of the month, she shared with ChatGPT that she wanted to use fewer products every day. The AI then stripped her routine down to the essentials, suggesting cleanser, moisturizer, and sunscreen in the morning, and cleanser and moisturizer in the evening. She concludes: “My complexion was always soothed, less red and well hydrated.” A real innovation in this area. However, it is important to emphasize that ChatGPT’s recommendations are only a starting point. At no moment this cannot replace a consultation with the dermatologist or other health professional.
