lululab Inc. is a South Korean beauty-and-healthcare AI company spun off from Samsung Electronics' C-Lab incubator in 2017. Its Lumini platform uses deep-learning computer vision to analyze a person's facial skin across seven categories - wrinkles, pores, acne, sebum, melasma, redness, and oil/moisture balance - from a single photo in about ten seconds, then recommends tailored products and routines. Built on a database of more than five million skin data points with claimed accuracy above 90%, lululab sells AI kiosks (Lumini Kiosk), a home device (Lumini Home), and an embeddable mobile SDK (Lumini SDK) to retailers, clinics, and brands worldwide.
Yongjoon Choe is the founder and CEO of lululab, the Seoul-based AI skincare company that spun out of Samsung's C-Lab in 2017. He turned a genome-sequencing detour at Harvard into Lumini, a system that reads ten-plus skin conditions from a single face photo in about ten seconds and recommends products to match. Under Choe, lululab has won CES Innovation Awards four years running and built its diagnostics on a deep-learning model trained on millions of skin-data points.
