She continued, “Our commitment goes beyond proving personalized skin care recommendations. We’re democratizing access to precise skin care analysis, ensuring our partners can serve everyone, regardless of age, gender or geography. We envision a world where skin care isn’t about guessing; it’s about brands understanding the uniqueness of their customers shopping line and delivering a data-driven experience that benefits both brands by increasing sales and customers who get better value for money.”

Anastasia and her team have a compelling vision and the technology to back it. The way people buy cosmetics online today is similar to the experience of buying electronics or books but the customer journey is far from being equal.”
