Philips's Cristalize: a skin imaging service

Crystalize is a skin imaging service that helps you understand your skin and what it needs, so you can make smarter choices and get better results.

Christalize helps users to understand their unique skin. In one short consultation, the camera accurately and reliably images the skin. The images are analyzed to evaluate skin type, redness, texture and pigmentation. Based on the results, the sales consultant can recommend the products that best fit the skin type.

Crystalize is also an active Online community, where users can review their results and track their skin progress, while receiving specialized advice and peers shared experiences.

Too good to be true ? Perhaps.. as the Philips's backed-up venture did not make it from a business standpoint, stressing that the "Who Pays" remains the key question for technologies that enable "Personalized Skincare"
