SkinID: Personalized acne solution


Hi guys,

SkinID is a new product that is based on unique customer needs. It is a personalized product for your skin. It works as following: On their website (www.skinid.com) you can evaluate your skin. You have to fill in some data like age, gender and skin type. Then there are some questions about your skin. The possible answers are very clear. After you have filled in 18 steps you get a personalized skin product just for you. I think this a good example of a product that uses consumers information to create the product itself. What do you guys think about it?
