La-Roche Posay’s My Skin Track pH
This product is a small, flexible wearable sensor that measures skin pH levels through trace amounts of sweat. The company claims the device can provide an accurate skin pH reading in just 15 minutes.
The sensor is placed on a person’s inner arm for between 5 and 15 minutes, or until the device’s two center dots change color. The smartphone app takes a picture of the sensor and reads the pH measurement using an algorithm; it then assesses the user’s overall skin health and recommends a La Roche-Posay skin care product to address any imbalances.
