MIT researchers and beauty brand Amorepacific made a wearable patch that analyzes skin aging

MIT researchers have been working with South Korean beauty company AmorePacific for the past few years to develop a wearable “electronic skin” platform that can provide real-time information about skin aging and make personalized skin care recommendations, and it is scheduled to debut at CES 2026 as “SkinSight.” SkinSight, which was announced this week as one of the CES 2026 Innovation Award honorees, is a Bluetooth-equipped sensor patch that sticks to the skin and works with a mobile app to track skin tightness, UV exposure, temperature and humidity.

Based on the readings, the AI-powered app will predict how various factors may contribute to or speed up skin aging, and suggest products best suited for the job so users can incorporate them into their skin care routine. The patch is designed to be breathable and withstand sweat so it can last longer. The team has not yet shared information about the availability and price of Skinsite.
