Named Skinsight, the “electronic skin” platform is able to analyse causes of skin ageing in real time and propose personalised skin care solutions tailored to individuals’ needs.
It consists of an ultra-thin wearable sensor patch, a compact Bluetooth transmission module, and an AI-powered mobile application.
The patch, equipped with a high-sensitivity strain sensor, adheres to the skin and simultaneously detects micrometre-level changes in key ageing-related factors — namely skin tightness, ultraviolet (UV) or blue light exposure, temperature, and moisture.
The data is transmitted in real time via the Bluetooth module, and the AI-powered app integrates the dataset with daily lifestyle patterns to model the composite exposome over a 24-hour cycle.
Based on these information, the system identifies factors that accelerate skin ageing for the user, predicts where and how wrinkles or loss of elasticity may appear, and provides personalised skin care routine and product recommendations.
To further enhance measurement accuracy, Skinsight incorporates MIT Professor Jeehwan Kim and his team’s remote epitaxy fabrication method and a piezotronic sensor architecture with electron-level sensitivity.
The technology offers “excellent breathability”, allowing the patch to remain securely attached even during perspiration, and conform closely to the skin’s natural contours for stable, long-term use.
This enables reliable tracking of skin changes in various daily environments and collect highly individualised data.
Amorepacific has published research findings around Skinsight in international journals, including Science and Science Advances.
“Skinsight represents a breakthrough platform that moves beyond simply observing the skin to predicting and managing its changes through scientific precision. It embodies Amorepacific’s vision of ‘Ageless Beauty’ — beauty that is no longer bound by time.
“Through advanced scientific technologies, we aim to predict the causes of skin ageing and continuously expand personalised beauty, ultimately opening up a new era of longevity as defined by Amorepacific, where the skin’s natural vitality endures,” said Byung-Fhy Brian Suh, CTO and Head of Amorepacific R&I Center.
The company has also been named as a CES 2026 Innovation Awards honouree under the Beauty Tech category for its Skinsight technology, marking its seventh consecutive year of recognition at this annual competition. CES 2026 is set to take place in Las Vegas from January 6 to 9, 2026.
To date, Amorepacific has filed four related patents through international applications under the Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT), and secured registrations in multiple countries including South Korea and the US.
Skinsight has also been utilised to test First Care Activating Serum, a signature product of the company’s luxury skin care brand Sulwhasoo, to substantiate its efficacy in improving skin tightness.
Continuing to leap forward
According to its recently announced financial results for the third quarter of 2025, Amorepacific Group recorded consolidated revenue of KRW1.1082tn (USD7.56bn), a 3.8% year-on-year increase from Q3 2024; and operating profit of KRW104.3bn (USD71m), up 39% year-on-year.
The company’s overall revenue growth and profitability is said to be driven by the global expansion of its key brands, including LANEIGE, AESTURA, Sulwhasoo, and RYO, combined with operational efficiency improvements.
Amorepacific’s domestic business obtained 4% revenue growth and 24% operating profit growth year-over-year, enabled by significant sales increase across primary channels such as online platforms, multi-brand shops and department stores, as well as duty-free and cross-border channels.
Sulwhasoo solidified its leadership in the luxury skin care segment with heightened sales across online and offline channels, while HERA and AP BEAUTY enhanced their competitiveness through new product launches and strengthened customer communication.
LANEIGE and AESTURA continued their high-growth trajectories through e-commerce, while Mamonde accelerated overseas market entry via cross-border channels.
Mass market brands, including mise-en-scène and LABO-H, achieved double-digit revenue growth through the release of new products, and increased sales across digital and physical channels.
Notably, Amorepacific’s overseas business demonstrated significant growth, with revenue increasing 3% year-over-year while operating profit surged 73%.
This was attributed to LANEIGE focusing on lip and skin care categories, AESTURA speeding up entry into global dermocosmetics markets, and RYO strengthening its functional hair care products.
In the Americas, LANEIGE maintained strong growth amid full-scale expansion of brands such as AESTURA and HANYUL. COSRX saw increased TikTok Shop sales as the brand doubled down on viral marketing around new core growth products.
In the EMEA region, Amorepacific’s portfolio diversified on the back of solid growth from LANEIGE and INNISFREE, along with new brand entries such as AESTURA.
The Greater China market achieved profitability through improvements in business structure and operational efficiency, with strong performance in hair care sales from brands like RYO.
Other Asian markets, including Japan, also expanded brand-specific marketing activities and customer touchpoints.
The company’s other major beauty subsidiaries, including innisfree, ETUDE, espoir, and AMOS PROFESSIONAL, also contributed to the group’s revenue and operating profit uptick, supported by responsiveness to emerging trends and product competitiveness.
For instance, innisfree beefed up its product portfolio with the launch of the new Green Tea Ceramide Milk Essence, resulting in improved profitability for the second consecutive quarter, while ETUDE’s “remarkable growth” in both revenue and operating profit is led by substantial increases in lip and face makeup sales across MBS channels.
