Las Vegas is notoriously dry, and on Day 3 of CES 2025, I woke up with a nosebleed, chapped lips, and ashy legs. Despite applying two pumps of fermented bean essence, eye cream, moisturizer, and a lip mask, I questioned whether these products were truly effective. Perhaps it was time to explore other options.

This curiosity led me to L’Oréal’s Cell BioPrint.

For anyone facing challenges with their complexion, the Cell BioPrint is like a skincare revolution. This innovative device functions as a mini-lab, analyzing a sample of your skin to produce a detailed report on its current condition. It assesses factors like oiliness, wrinkles, skin barrier function, pore size, and uneven skin tone. Furthermore, it evaluates the proteins in your skin to predict your susceptibility to future skin issues, even if you’re not experiencing them currently. Additionally, the test reveals your skin’s responsiveness to retinol, a widely used skincare ingredient that often causes confusion.
