  • Systems and methods for providing customized product recommendations
    Patent number: 11055762
    Abstract: Systems and methods for providing customized skin care product recommendations. The system utilizes an image capture device and a computing device coupled to the image capture device. The computing device causes the system to analyze a captured image of a user via the by processing the image through a convolutional neural network to determine a skin age of the user. Determining the skin age may include identifying at least one pixel that is indicative of the skin age and utilizing the at least one pixel to create a heat map that identifies a region of the image that contributes to the skin age. The system may be used to determine a target skin age of the user, determine a skin care product for achieving the target skin age, and provide an option for the user to purchase the product.
