The Olay Professional Pro-X Skin Analyzer combines the Olay Pro-X Headband, your own digital camera and this website. With this new system, you can have a personalized skin evaluation in the privacy of your home.

Simply capture your facial image with your own camera and upload it to the Skin Analyzer website. Here, image analysis (IA) algorithms process your image and immediately provide you with your skin analysis results. Wondering how, with the wide number of cameras in the marketplace, the Olay IA algorithms handle all the variations in image quality?

That’s where the headband comes in. The graphics on the headband are used by the IA algorithms to standardize every image and control for camera type, lighting, distance, zoom, resolution, etc. Since exactly the same headband is worn by everyone who uses the Skin Analyzer, the result is a truly accurate ’apples to apples’ analysis.

This facial imaging technology was originally developed by Olay scientists and uses very similar algorithms to the facial imaging technology used by dermatologists all over the country.
