CES 2023: Why SKINSTACKS Might Be the Coolest Thing I’ve Seen for Skincare

Okay, so let me just say, I don’t usually think about skincare beyond washing my face and hoping for the best. But at CES 2023, I saw something that made me stop and go, “Wait, this is actually really cool.” It’s called SKINSTACKS, and it’s a new line of 3D-printed, personalized vegetarian vitamins from a collaboration between Neutrogena and Nourished. And yeah, I know “personalized vitamins” might not sound exciting, but stick with me—it’s like science fiction meets self-care.

What Makes SKINSTACKS So Cool?

So, here’s the deal. SKINSTACKS is all about creating vitamins that are made just for you. Like, they’re not pulling some random stuff off a shelf and telling you it’s good for your skin. You go online, use Neutrogena’s Skin360® tool, and take a selfie. Then, the tool analyzes your skin—everything from fine lines to how shiny (or not) your face is—and figures out what your skin actually needs. From there, Nourished uses a 3D printer to create personalized vitamins, which they send to you every month.

I didn’t even know 3D-printed vitamins were a thing, but now I kind of want them. It’s like having a custom skincare plan that works from the inside out. And because it’s a subscription service, you don’t have to keep running to the store. Honestly, that part sold me—less effort, better results.

Why Personalization Matters

Here’s something I didn’t think about before: most vitamins are designed based on tests done on, like, average white dudes. So, if you’re not in that group (and let’s be real, most of us aren’t), the vitamins might not work as well for you. That’s what makes SKINSTACKS so different. They’re not just guessing—they’re using data from thousands of people with all kinds of skin types, ethnicities, and ages to make something that actually fits you.

And it’s not just about skincare. Nourished already makes vitamins for stuff like immunity, sleep, and even managing PCOS. They’re basically proving that one-size-fits-all doesn’t work anymore, and I’m here for it.

Neutrogena + Nourished: A Power Duo

We all know Neutrogena—they’ve been around forever with their face washes, acne treatments, and all that. I’ve used their stuff before, and it actually works. Now, they’re teaming up with Nourished to make personalized skincare even better.

Their Senior VP, Roberto Khoury, said it best: “At Neutrogena, we are grounded in the belief that beauty begins with healthy skin… Working with Nourished allows us to further that commitment by marrying our award-winning digital skin assessment with Nourished’s elegant 3D printing technology.”

Translation: They’re bringing some serious tech and science to skincare, and it’s going to make a big difference.

What’s Next for 3D-Printed Stuff?

Here’s what really blew my mind: this is just the beginning for 3D-printed consumables. Right now, they’re starting with vitamins, but imagine getting food or even medication 3D-printed to match exactly what your body needs. Like, no more guesswork, just perfectly balanced meals or meds that work specifically for you.

We’re basically living in the future, and I’m kind of hyped to see where this goes. Personalized everything? Sign me up.

How to Get SKINSTACKS

If you’re curious (and let’s be honest, why wouldn’t you be?), here’s how you can get your own SKINSTACKS:

1. Go to the Nourished x Neutrogena Skin360® SKINSTACKS website.

2. Use the Skin360® tool to scan your face. It takes a photo and analyzes all kinds of stuff about your skin, like how smooth it is or if you’ve got wrinkles (hopefully not yet).

3. Based on your results, it creates personalized vitamin recommendations, and you get a month’s supply sent right to you.

The Skin360® tool is wild. It looks at over 100,000 skin pixels and uses a database of more than 10,000 faces to figure out exactly what your skin needs. No two routines are the same, so your vitamins are basically one-of-a-kind.

Why I’m All In

Look, I’m not the type of guy who spends hours on skincare, but I do want to keep my face looking decent. SKINSTACKS is perfect because it makes the whole process simple. It’s high-tech, it’s personalized, and it’s honestly just cool.

If this is where skincare and wellness are headed, I’m all in. Whether you’re already into this stuff or just want to try something new, SKINSTACKS is worth checking out. Trust me, your future self will thank you.
