Promoting new concepts of skincare via skinomics and systems biology-From traditional skincare and efficacy-based skincare to precision skincare

Biao Jiang et al. J Cosmet Dermatol. 2018 Dec.

Abstract

Traditional skincare involves the subjective classification of skin into 4 categories (oily, dry, mixed, and neutral) prior to skin treatment. Following the development of noninvasive methods in skin and skin imaging technology, scientists have developed efficacy-based skincare products based on the physiological characteristics of skin under different conditions. Currently, the emergence of skinomics and systems biology has facilitated the development of precision skincare. In this article, the evolution of skincare based on the physiological states of the skin (from traditional skincare and efficacy-based skincare to precision skincare) is described. In doing so, we highlight skinomics and systems biology, with particular emphasis on the importance of skin lipidomics and microbiomes in precision skincare. The emerging trends of precision skincare are anticipated.

Keywords: efficacy-based skincare; precision skincare; skinomics; systems biology; traditional skincare.
