Viewty: Bringing AI-Powered Skin Analysis and Personalized Beauty Recommendations to Mobile

The client is a Japanese BeautyTech company focused on combining artificial intelligence with personalized skincare experiences.

Its product concept centers on AI-powered skin analysis and cosmetics recommendations, helping consumers understand their skin characteristics and identify relevant beauty products. The company sought to make personalized skincare guidance more accessible through a convenient consumer-facing mobile application.

Choosing suitable skincare products can be difficult when consumers have limited insight into their skin characteristics and must navigate a crowded cosmetics market.

The client needed to translate AI-powered skin analysis into a practical mobile experience that could present technical assessment results in an intuitive and understandable way.

The main challenges included:

• Making skin analysis accessible: Translating image-based assessment results into information consumers could easily understand.
• Connecting analysis with product discovery: Using skin profiles to help users explore relevant cosmetics from a large product catalog.
• Designing a guided mobile experience: Making facial image capture, navigation, and results review straightforward for everyday users.
• Integrating AI into the application: Connecting AI-enabled image analysis with the mobile interface and recommendation capabilities.
• Delivering across mobile platforms: Developing and testing the application for both iOS and Android within a five-month project timeline.

The project aimed to:

• Develop a consumer-facing mobile application for AI-powered skin analysis.
• Enable assessment across eight skin-related indicators.
• Connect skin assessment results with personalized cosmetics recommendations.
• Present skin information through an accessible visual interface.
• Deliver a consistent mobile experience across iOS and Android.
• Complete development and testing within five months.

SotaTek developed the Viewty mobile application, integrating the client's AI-based skin analysis and cosmetics recommendation capabilities into an accessible consumer experience.

The application allows users to capture facial images, review skin assessment results, and explore cosmetics recommendations informed by their skin profiles and available product information.

The project combined mobile application engineering, AI integration, and user-centered interface design. This approach helped bridge image-based analysis and everyday product discovery, making advanced BeautyTech capabilities available through a smartphone application.
