Description
Lumière Skin is the AI skin coach built for every skin tone. Calibrated for Fitzpatrick I - VI - including melanin-rich and deeper tones most consumer skincare AI gets wrong.
Why Lumière is different
Most skincare AI was trained on lighter skin. The downstream consequence is the one users live with: a Black, Brown, or deeper-skinned person opens a skincare app and gets back "you have oily skin" as her entire analysis. We anchor every reading to a tone classification first - Fitzpatrick I - VI plus the Monk Skin Tone scale - then interpret findings in that context.
