LOrals new skincare gadget told me I should try retinolLOrals new skincare gadget told me I should try retinol / According to LOral, the Cell BioPrint is designed to help you learn what products to not buy as well as crafting a routine that suits your skins needs. By Victoria Song, a senior reporter focusing on wearables, health tech, and more with 12 years of experience. Before coming to The Verge, she worked for Gizmodo and PC Magazine. Jan 12, 2025, 2:00 PM UTCShare this storyThe Cell BioPrint is designed to be used in retail spaces and dermatology offices. Photo by Victoria Song / The VergeLas Vegas is punishingly dry. The arid winter air means I woke up on Day 3 of CES 2025 with a nosebleed, chapped lips, and ashy legs. This in spite of the fact I slathered myself with two pumps of a fermented bean essence, eye cream, moisturizer, and a lip mask. Staring at my face in the hotel mirror, I wonder if any of those products were doing what theyre supposed to and if maybe, I should try something different.This is why I was so eager to try LOrals Cell BioPrint. For anyone whos struggled with their complexion, the Cell BioPrint feels like a holy grail gadget. The device is a mini-lab setup that analyzes a skin sample to generate a report about your skins current condition. Itll also grade your skin with regard to oiliness, wrinkles, skin barrier function, pore size, and uneven skin tone. Based on the proteins in your skin, youll also see whether youre more likely to be susceptible to those issues down the line even if they arent issues now. The test also determines whether youre responsive to retinol, a popular and well-studied skincare ingredient that nevertheless causes a ton of confusion online. My results. Im happy to say my skins biological and chronological age were aligned. Photo by Victoria Song / The VergeIn my demo, using the Cell BioPrint was simple. Mainly because I didnt have to do a thing. While LOral hopes to one day make Cell BioPrint an at-home device, itll first be aimed at retail, dermatology offices, and skincare clinics. As in, the actual test will be done by a professional to ensure accuracy. A LOral staffer collected a sample from both my cheeks using a special kind of sticker. I watched as he then dissolved it in a buffer liquid, placed the resulting solution into a cartridge, and fed that cartridge into a machine. I also had my cheeks and forehead scanned with an imaging wand before answering two questions about my age and demographic data. After a few minutes, I got to see my results. Apparently, Im doing something right because the report said that my chronological and biological age were aligned. But it also said that while my skin barrier function is currently good, Im biologically prone to have issues with that as I get older. My report also said that I dont have to be concerned with pore size either now or in the future, and that I am highly responsive to retinol, meaning my skin is likely to tolerate it well. There were several other insights I wont bore you with, but after going over my results, I have a better sense of what I need to focus on. For instance, I should continue using moisturizers with ceramides, button up my sun care habits outside of sunscreen, add a vitamin C to help with my skin tone, and add a retinol. I also know what I dont need or can remove from my routine. For example, I dont need to buy products targeted toward shrinking pores. Most of this wasnt surprising. My results aligned with the concerns Ive noticed and where I tend to concentrate my skincare routine. For example, the few times Ive tried retinol, Ive never had an hint of the sensitivities other people seem to experience.Of course, this kind of personalized recommendation is only as good as the science behind it. After all, lots of health and beauty tech companies promise the moon, but are intentionally coy when it comes to explaining why you should trust them. Barring regulatory certification (which isnt generally required for wellness and beauty tech), its left up to the individual to try to discern whether an explanation passes the smell test. RelatedWith that in mind, I asked LOral to dive deep into the science which Guive Balooch, global vice president of LOrals Technology Incubator, happily obliged.Balooch says the company had 800 biologists working (and publishing clinical studies) to discover whether there are specific proteins expressed in skin cells that could determine your risk factors for certain skin conditions. The challenge, he says, is that there are a lot of proteins produced by the body. Finding the few out of the thousands that can give actionable skincare insights is like finding a handful of needles in a giant haystack. It required LOrals researchers to sequence all of them and then find the relevant biomarkers.This particular branch of research, Balooch says, is called proteomics or the study of how proteins are expressed in the body. Its understanding that our cells every day are making proteins. Depending on our lifestyle, our geography, and our genes, they will make more or less of these proteins. It changes over time and habits can change it as well. Balooch says LOral tested 4,000 people over 10 years across the US, Europe, South America and Asia, and found five proteins related to skin health, including two that are related to how well a persons skin will respond to retinol. And while the Cell BioPrint can only currently analyze responsiveness to retinol, other ingredients like niacinamide and hyaluronic acid are also in the works. In some ways, its meant to tell people what not to buy.Cynically speaking, a device like this could also be viewed as a pseudoscientific way to sell more products to a group of people already prone to reach for their wallets. But Balooch argues the Cell BioPrint isnt meant to encourage people to buy more. In some ways, its meant to tell people what not to buy, he says. Of course, we would love to sell more products, but not by overconsumption. Thats not actually good for your skin. Its about helping people find the right products based on science. To that end, Balooch has a point. The skincare market right now is rife with misinformation and influencers pushing expensive 10-step routines that sometimes do more harm than good. I know better, and yet Im as guilty as the next skincare nerd. (Im still haunted by the full bottle of snail mucin influencers claimed would fix all my problems. It broke me out instead.) Even now, I know that Ill probably get influenced again. The difference is at least I can choose to be influenced towards a retinol cream or vitamin C serum things that have a higher chance of helping me rather than throwing my money to the wind.

Hi, friends! Welcome to Installer No. 66, your guide to the best and Verge-iest stuff in the world. (If youre new here, welcome, happy 2025, and also you can read all the old editions at the Installer homepage.)This week, Ive been reading about loneliness and Web3 scams and the future of procedural TV, watching Deadpool & WolverineSeveranceSquid GameKids Baking Championship, wondering if thats real Sara Dietschy or AI Sara Dietschy, and giving an Apple News Plus subscription a whirl as my go-to news source.I also have for you a big report from CES in Las Vegas. This edition of Installer is a little different than most, just because we saw so many new things, and so many new things launched, and in many cases, its hard to know whether any of it will ever hit shelves. So think of this as part Installer, part CES recap, part David hopes desperately these things actually ship list. But I tried hard to pick out the stuff Im confident will actually end up on sale at some point soon and might be worth your money. Im sure Ill be wrong about a few of them but heres hoping. And if you want all the best stuff from CES, check out our annual awards theres lots of great stuff in there.Also, and most importantly, my heart goes out to everyone in LA and elsewhere dealing with the fires this week. Im so sorry for everything youre dealing with, and I hope youre safe and doing okay.(As always, the best part of Installer is your ideas and tips. What are you into right now? What should everyone else be playing / reading / watching / downloading / building out of Legos right now? Tell me everything: installer@theverge.com. And if you know someone else who might enjoy Installer, forward it to them and tell them to subscribe here.)The Drop(A note on the links in here: I linked to product pages when they existed, as I always try to do. But since this is CES, sometimes there isnt one yet. In those cases, I link to Verge stories or other coverage.)The LG StanbyME 2. I cannot explain to you why I am so into this thing. Its just a big, portable screen (LG calls it a lifestyle screen, which is hysterical), with a strap and a stand, so you can hang it up or prop it on a table. Is that anything? I dont know! But I love this idea.The Circular Ring 2. The first model was kind of a dud, but the Ring 2 appears to get almost everything right: better battery, easier charging, nicer design, more features. My 2025 project is to ditch my smartwatch for a smart ring, and this has some potential.Nvidia Project Digits. This one kind of violates the spirit of the things a real person might actually buy rubric here, but I am increasingly convinced that the only good AI future is one where your AI systems are more local, more personal, and more yours. Nvidias Mac Mini-looking AI machine is a cool step in that direction.The Roam SodaTop. I had a SodaStream for years and loved everything about it except it was huge and only in my kitchen. The SodaTop screws right onto a water bottle and carbonates water in five seconds. $50! Spectacular, give me 14 of them.The Lenovo Thinkbook Plus Gen 6. I didnt get to see this one on the CES floor, but Lenovos rollable screen concept thing is real now and apparently works pretty well. $3,500 for a laptop is preposterous, but this is a technology that belongs in a lot of laptops. Soon.The Samsung Frame Pro. As far as I can tell, the actual display improvements here are not super impressive. But I like that the Frame setup is simpler and involves fewer wires now and Im hoping thisll make the last-gen Frame cheap enough that I can justify buying one.The Wonder Petal. All my gardening- and birding-obsessed friends are super into this thing, a flower-styled and solar-powered camera that uses AI to identify plants and creatures roaming around your yard. I keep hearing great things about the Bird Buddy feeder, too.The Flic Duo. A button! For doing button things! You stick this tiny thing on a wall and program what happens when you click, double-click, press and hold, swipe, and lots more. Its Matter-compatible and $49 and the sort of thing every smart home needs.The SwitchBot Multitasking Household Robot K20 Plus Pro. Yikes, that name. But the product is so smart: a modular robot vacuum that turns into a roving air purifier, pet monitor, and more. I love the trend were seeing here, as these turn into the first true home robots.The Amazfit Active 2. I noticed my colleague Victoria Song wearing this watch and told her how much I liked the red, kind of Tron-y face. She looked at me and goes, ITS ONLY A HUNDRED DOLLARS! Thats basically the deal a pretty, pretty good, pretty cheap smartwatch and fitness tracker. With my favorite watchface yet.The Razer Handheld Dock Chroma. One dock for all your handheld game consoles. It has fast power, seems to connect easily, and supports phones, Steam Decks, Switches, and more. I remain totally convinced that these consoles are the future of games, and this is a terrific accessory idea.Screen shareIts a strange time in the blogging / social media universe. Threads, Bluesky, X, Mastodon, and a million other platforms are growing and changing, and its hard to figure out where to spend your time and energy. Ive been talking to folks for years now about how all this is supposed to work and have consistently been convinced that Manton Reece is on the right track. Hes the creator of Micro.blog, which is simple like Twitter but personal like a blog and has a lot of big ideas about interoperability and the fediverse.This week, Manton launched Micro.one, a $1 / month platform that gives you a blog, on your own domain, that also lets you post to the fediverse. If I were looking for a new place to post, theres a good chance Id start there.I asked Manton to share his homescreen with us, wanting to see if I could snoop on any other new things he might be working on. Heres Mantons homescreen, plus some info on the apps he uses and why:The phone: iPhone 16 Pro Max. This is the first time Ive had the biggest iPhone. I thought it would be good to try as a sort of tiny iPad. It makes reading and writing just a little easier.The wallpaper: My wallpaper is solid black. Boring! But it makes everything feel crisp and readable. (For the lockscreen background, I have a photo of family.)The apps: Messages, Phone, Photos, Camera, Safari, Calm, NetNewsWire, Spotify, Google Maps, Slack, Fantastical, Libby, Overcast, Swarm, Reeder, Kindle, Hey, Epilogue, Strata, Micro.blog.I keep a blank row of icons at the top and bottom of my homescreen, so there are fewer icons to sort through when finding an app to open. It also makes reaching the top icons easier. I keep all notification badges hidden to avoid clutter, too.In the dock, I have Hey email and a few companion apps for my Micro.blog platform: Epilogue for keeping track of books, Strata for notes, and the official Micro.blog app. Also on the homescreen, I have some apps for reading, like Libby and the Kindle app, and, for some reason, two RSS readers: NetNewsWire and Reeder. I use Spotify instead of Apple Music and Fantastical instead of Apple Calendar.I also asked Manton to share a few things hes into right now. Heres what he sent back:Wind and Truth by Brandon Sanderson. Im currently halfway through this book and love the epic scope of a story that spans multiple standalone book series. I hope to read more this year. I track what books Im reading, and I post a short microblog post to my own site about each one.ChatGPT. As a developer, I thought I was fine writing code on my own, and I was initially skeptical of AI. But now, the ChatGPT app for Mac is always running. Throughout the day, Im feeding it random questions and asking for programming help. I believe strongly in human creativity, and there are many things I dont want a robot to do for me, but as a tool, it has been really useful.I use Swarm to check into places I visit like coffee shops or new places while traveling. Foursquare has recently shut down its city guide to refocus on Swarm, but its not clear what kind of future the app has. I occasionally import my check-ins into a separate blog so I have all the historical data.Heres what the Installer community is into this week. I want to know what youre into right now as well! Email installer@theverge.com or message me on Signal @davidpierce.11 with your recommendations for anything and everything, and well feature some of our favorites here every week. For even more great recommendations, check out the replies to this post on Threads and this post on Bluesky.I stumbled upon a four-part series on YouTube by Digging The Greats. He does a great deep dive into using an iPod for 30 days and how it changed his life. Really great interviews and insight about algorithms, getting some life back, and using technology without the addiction. Really interesting stuff. OwenLast week, I ordered a Laifen Wave electric toothbrush, and its taking way too long in the mail. I want to play with my new gadget now, damn it! EllieIve been listening to the entire discography of Essenger. I think that having an electronic groove during the busiest time of the year in tech makes the tech world even cooler! EliA new extension called Pre-AI Search. All it does is filter to pre-2023 Google results, but its been a bit of a lifesaver given how garbage Google image search is now. Been pretty handy for my research Google image search has been rough with all the AI stuff, but filtering to pre-2023 helps find actual design resources again. FrankieFlyleaf. A beautiful read-it-later app for macOS, iPadOS, and iOS. RyanI just started listening to the wonderful If Books Could Kill podcast. Youre Wrong About alum Michael Hobbes and lawyer Peter Shamshiri tackle the question, What if pop science books would have peer review? The answer is pretty damning for the books but great fun for us listeners. LaszloNot new, but the Baseus Nomos 5-in-1 charging station changed my whole desk setup. The retractable cable and StandBy mode-friendly phone mount (Qi2!) make it worth it. HawkeIve been bingeing AEW on Max. I was a childhood wrestling fan who got back into WWE casually at the pandemic Wrestlemania. Now that its on Max, Ive been bingeing the past two months of AEW shows to get acquainted with the product and better compare it to post-McMahon WWE. Overall, its pretty good. BrianGreg IlesSouthern Man, a massive but riveting novel set in modern Mississippi, has been eating up all my spare time. DarraghI recommend you check out ProjectionLab. Its a beautifully designed financial planning tool that Ive been using for the past few years. This solo dev-built app makes it simple to model finances and plan for the future. JakeWatching this horror series, From, on Prime Video. Very different than most shows on the internet. DaniyalSigning offOver the holiday break, I came across a really lovely set of app icons from a designer named Lokki, and of course jumped at an excuse to yet again completely overhaul my homescreen. I really like it now! But in buying the icon pack, I also got a set of Widgy widgets, which sent me down the rabbit hole of what I am now convinced is the coolest app on the planet for Apple devices. Widgy lets you make basically any widget you can imagine you can design it from scratch, add lots of features and interactivity, and share stuff youve made so other people can download or buy widgets as well. The next version of my homescreen is going to be all widgets, no apps. And its going to be all Widgy. Widgets all the way down, baby.See you next week!

We may earn commission on some of the items you choose to buy.As antiques enthusiasts continually seek items from bygone eras for their quality and character (and for psychological reasons), weve turned to the experts for intel on the antiques they believe will sweep the collecting scene in 2025. With sharp eyes and a wealth of knowledge, they predict everything from Gustavian furniture to equestrian motifs (thanks and farewell, Yellowstone) are poised to trend this year. Once armed with this list of covetable antiques, consider hitting the road to little-known destinations for incredible antique finds.Related StoriesGustavian FurnitureSusanaLpezMargaret Schwartz, owner of Modern Antiquarian, says Gustavian furniture has always had a cult following, but there are times when its appeal becomes more widespread. And one such time is now!Gustavian furniture has a wonderful charm and an interesting history rooted in French Neoclassical design, Schwartz says. Swedish artisans reinterpreted the French style by simplifying the details, using local woods like pine and birch, and painting the pieces in light colors to brighten interiors during those long, dark Scandinavian winters. Schwartz praises the versatility of the furniture style. It looks equally at home in a sleek modern setting or a reimagined traditional space, she says, noting that people have been using pairs of chests as bedside tables and buffets for storage in dining and living rooms. Gustavian furniture brings character and history to our spaces and is a wise investment, often retaining or appreciating in value over time. Garden AccentsWilliam Waldron Antique garden furnishings and decor are also having a moment. This trend is being brought to life in two ways: bringing the outdoors in and treating outdoor spaces as true extensions of interiors, Schwartz says.Inside the home, Schwartz is seeing people favor large antique planters and urns to house trees and other greenery. Smaller versions are being used to display fresh flowers. French Neoclassical designs and Art Deco planters are particularly popular, Schwartz says.But planters arent the only way to embrace the trend throughout your interiors. Stone tables are also making their way indoors because of their durability and the unique texture they bring to a space, Schwartz says. Over time, these pieces have developed a patina from their climate, usage, and placement. With the growth of moss or oxidation, their weathered appearance adds character.SusanaLpezFor outdoor settings, people are seeking distinct pieces that age beautifully and bring individuality. French caf tables and concrete or stone dining tables make useful additions for alfresco dining, and comfortable seating invites lounging, Schwartz says. We especially love seeing swan planters on covered porches, stone animals arranged in groups throughout the garden, or tabletop urns planted with local seasonal flowers.Related StoryPainted Panels and ScreensJessica Barton, Photographer: Bess FridayIn a living room by designer Jessica Barton, a paneled art piece draws attention above a blue-painted mantel.Vintage and antique home decor remains in high demand, with design enthusiasts embracing timeless pieces that bring character and history to their spaces, says Noel Fahden, vice president of global merchandising for Chairish.Fahden calls out painted panels and screens as a current favorite for their artistic flair. They can also be used as room dividers or to hide unsightly corners. Elizabeth Pash, designer and owner of Elizabeth Pash Interiors & Antiques, is a staunch advocate for decorative screens, including painted ones, and even explained how theyre the unsung heroes of interior design.Related StoryMurano GlassKelly AllenA mirror and sconces made of Murano glass add elegance to the bathroom in a suite at the Lake Como-based hotel Passalaqua.Another trend Chairish experts are seeing is frilly Murano glass for [its] playful elegance, according to Fahden. These delicate or ornate piecesincluding mirrors, chandeliers, lamps, and glasswarehave been made in Italy for more than 1,500 years with production concentrated on the island of Murano. If you know how to spot genuine Murano glass, any form it comes in is sure to add a jewel-like touch to your home. Equestrian MotifsReid RollsCarson Kressleys farmhouse features a handful of horse-themed artworks and fabrics, including a vintage pillow in the entryway.Yellowstone fueled the Rich Ranch aesthetic during its five-season run, so its no surprise equestrian motifs and rustic elements continue to trend. Horse-themed fabrics, sculptures, paintings, and trinketslike a 1930s brass horse letter openerare easy ways to embrace equestrian influence at home whether you're after a subtle or striking look.Related StoryOpal and OpalineErnst Beadle//Getty ImagesA blue French opaline oil lamp was converted into an electrical lamp with a shade for a bedside table in a room by designer Roslyn Rosier.Similarly, Fahden says opal and opaline are captivating collectors and novice antique shoppers alike. Items including Art Deco desk lamps, glassware, pendant lights, wall sconces, bowls, and vases can add a soft luster to any setting. The materials are a perfect alternative to overtly sparkly accents and shiny metallic touches.Follow House Beautiful on Instagram and TikTok.

According to Mark Gurman from Bloomberg, Apple will be launching a new Apple Watch SE later this year, as well as introducing refreshes for Apple Watch Series 11 and Ultra 3. Based on todays rumors, its sounding like itll be a big year for Apple Watch.New Apple Watch SEGurman doesnt provide many specifics for the new Apple Watch SE, other than the fact that itll sport a new look.Apple introduced Apple Watch SE in 2020, based on the design of 2018s Apple Watch Series 4. Its possible that well be getting a design that more closely resembles 2021s Apple Watch Series 7 or maybe itll be something new entirely.In the past, Mark Gurman has reported that Apple is considering a plastic body for Apple Watch SE, so its possible hes referring to that. In any case, if youre in the market for an Apple Watch SE, Id hold out for this new model, which should finally launch this year. If Apple ends up going with a plastic Apple Watch SE, Id also expect a bunch of fun colors to come alongside it.Apple Watch Series 11 and Ultra 3The higher-end Apple Watches, on the other hand, shouldnt introduce any sort of new design. Gurman says theyll probably stay roughly the same. However, that doesnt mean there wont be anything to look forward to.Apple Watch Ultra 3 should be gaining support for satellite connectivity and 5G RedCap, vastly expanding users connectivity options. Apple will also likely introduce high blood pressure detection on both Apple Watch Series 11 and Apple Watch Ultra 3 later this year. Apples blood pressure readings wont give users exact numbers, but instead warn users of anything they should be aware of:The blood-pressure featureis designed to work in a similar way to Apples sleep apnea detector. It wont give users specific readings such as diastolic or systolic levels but it will inform them that they may be in a state of hypertension.Blood pressure monitoring was initially expected to debut in Apple Watch Series 10, but got delayed due to the new, thinner design of the watch. Apple should be ready to launch it this year, however.Gurman also mentions that Apple is working on a new AI coaching service and an all new health app, though timing is unclear. These additions should coincide with the launch of AirPods with heart rate monitoring.Wrap upIf all of these rumors come to fruition, it sounds like Apple will be refreshing every single Apple Watch model at once, something the company hasnt done since 2022, where they introduced Apple Watch SE 2, Apple Watch Series 8, and the original Apple Watch Ultra.We were expecting this in 2024, but instead of Apple Watch Ultra 3, we just got a new black titanium Apple Watch Ultra 2 instead, and the new Apple Watch SE mysteriously never shipped. Nonetheless, hopefully everything works out this year.Are you looking forward to Apples 2025 Apple Watch lineup?

According to Bloombergs Mark Gurman, the new Apple smart home hub, which some refer to as Apple command center or simply HomePad, might ship a little bit later than anticipated.Apple has been working on a new device for your smart home for a decent while, and the company is expected to launch it this spring, particularly in March. As a refresher, heres what were expecting with the product:6-inch square display with thick bezelCamera at the topRechargeable built in batteryA new Apple operating system: homeOSHeavy focus on video applications like FaceTimeSupport for many Apple appsStandBy-inspired dashboardEasy ability to control your smart homeApple Intelligence supportDespite many rumors circulating for such a long time, it did sound like Apple was getting really close to finally releasing this thing. However, because of many of the Apple Intelligence delays, it might take a little bit longer to hit the market, according to Gurman:Apple has beenplanning to introducethehome hub in March, but it may take longer to reach consumers. The devices new operating system code-named Pebble is heavily tied to App Intents features coming in iOS 18.4 and iOS 19, so its plausible that the hardware itself will ship a bit later.Even though Apple is launching the hardware later, it still sounds like were set to see an unveiling in the coming months. Its a little unfortunate that therell be a release delay, but it makes sense given this products heavy reliance on Apple Intelligence.Gurman also reiterates that Apple is planning to launch LLM Siri, a more conversational chatbot-like assistant, in iOS 19.4 which will launch in spring 2026. Apple is also preparing its own lineup of smart home accessories, starting with a Face ID-powered doorbell and a more private security camera.What do you think of Apples rumored smart home hardware ecosystem?

According to Mark Gurmans Power On newsletter, Apple is planning no sort of Vision Pro refresh in 2025. He mentions that its possible that Apple could theoretically unveil a headset ahead of a release next year, but all signs are pointing to new Vision Pro hardware launching in 2026 instead.On the other hand, he reports that Apples more urgent goal is to create a cheaper headset, and Apple is ramping up development for that headset.Other analysts, such as Ming Chi-Kuo, had previously reported that Apple Vision Pro 2 would be on track to enter production in the second half of 2025. It was widely expected to implement the M5 chip and have support for Apple Intelligence, though there werent many other hardware changes rumored. Kuo also reported that Apples cheaper headset is delayed until at least 2027.Gurman, on the other hand, describes the cheaper headset as an urgent goal of Apples. It still wont be shipping in 2025, but hopefully it isnt too far away:The more urgent goal is to produce a lower-cost version of the headset, and Apple isramping up of development of such a product. Stay tuned for more details on that. Besides that device, code-named N107, Apple isactively exploringother ideas. That includesa version of theRay-Ban smart glasses from Meta Platforms Inc. and an AirPods-like vision device with cameras.All those devices would be further out than 2025, but this year should be a critical step toward that future vision.Gurman also reports that Apple is continuing to work on other products thatd implement wearable cameras, including an Apple version of the Meta Ray-Ban glasses, as well as AirPods that include cameras. No specific timeline is provided, other than the fact that itll be after this year.Follow Michael:X/Twitter,Bluesky,InstagramAdd 9to5Mac to your Google News feed.
