The new digital experience powered by Revieve will help Faces customers personalize their skincare routines in real-time from the comfort of their homes.

Helsinki, (October 7th 2021) -- Revieve, a market-leading personalized digital brand experience company working with global brands, retailers, and digital service providers in the Health, Beauty, and Wellness categories, today announced a partnership with Faces, the leading beauty retailer in the Middle East and owned by the Chalhoub Group, to bring the first digital skincare experience to customers in the Middle East.


Faces partnered with Revieve to launch “Faces Skin Advisor”, an online and digital personalized experience to help its customers discover and purchase the right products for their skin from the comfort of their homes, personalized to the look and feel of the Faces brand. The technology behind the experience is Revieve’s Digital Skincare Advisor, an AI-powered self-diagnostic solution that analyzes a user’s skin and provides personalized product recommendations in real-time. 


“At Faces, we put our customers at the heart of everything we do, and we are thrilled to partner with Revieve to offer them a more personalized skincare journey. Over the past year, we noticed a rise in skincare products according to GCC market research, and to enhance our customers’ experience we are bringing to the region an AI-powered solution for tailored recommendation through self-diagnostic in real-time. We are focusing on technology and innovation to respond to our hybrid consumers by creating meaningful connections and memorable experiences to always delight them” said Salem Kaissi, Vice President at Faces.


The Faces Skin Advisor consists of three easy steps. First, users take a selfie and answer a few questions about their skin type and any personal skin concerns they would like to improve. The user is then provided an in-depth analysis from their selfie and offered personalized product recommendations from Faces product selection and their unique attributes suited to specific skin concerns and types. 

The technology's accuracy is built upon Revieve's proprietary computer vision technology and mobile skin diagnostics that analyze over 120 skin metrics from the user's face and several dozens of different expert algorithms specifically trained to analyze distinct skincare and beauty-related facial features from specific areas of the user's face.

As of today, all Faces customers can utilize the revolutionary experience provided by Faces across desktop and mobile devices on all browsers. The Faces Skin Advisor experience is live at www.faces.com/ae-en/skin/advisor.


"This partnership will provide a more personalized skincare experience for customers across the Middle East. We are beyond excited to introduce the first digital skincare experience to customers in the region as we connect them with products tailored to their unique personal needs through our partnership with Faces," said Sampo Parkkinen, CEO and Co-Founder at Revieve.
