A computer-vision pipeline (Perfect Corp HD Skin Analysis + a custom Velumi scorer) reads the image and returns 14 numeric scores plus an overall Skin Health Score (0–100). The user is then handed off to Lumi, an AI advisor implemented as a streaming chat interface backed by Anthropic Claude, Google Gemini, and OpenAI GPT models — Lumi writes the routine, recommends products, and answers free-form skincare questions in voice or text. # ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── # The 14 skin metrics (0–100 each) # ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── 1. Hydration — water content of the stratum corneum 2. Radiance — overall glow and luminosity 3. Texture — surface smoothness 4. Pores — visible pore count and size 5. Tone evenness — uniformity of pigmentation 6. Redness — erythema and inflammation 7. Wrinkles — fine lines and folds 8. Firmness — skin elasticity proxy 9. Dark spots — sun-induced and post-inflammatory pigmentation 10. Dark circles — periorbital hyperpigmentation 11. Acne — active inflammatory and non-inflammatory lesions 12. Oiliness — sebum production and shine 13. Eye bags — periorbital edema and puffiness 14. Nasolabial folds — lines from nose to mouth corners The app then computes a single composite Skin Health Score from these. A typical first-time score is between 65 and 85. # ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── # How Velumi differs from similar apps # ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── - Region-aware: same app shows K-beauty in Korea, J-beauty in Japan, French pharmacy in France, halal-flagged options in Saudi/UAE/Egypt - True multilingual: not just translated — Arabic UI flips to full RTL layout; product catalog rebalances per region - Voice-enabled: Lumi has a unique voice in every language (ElevenLabs Instant Voice Cloning) - Free at the core: no paywall on the first scan or first routine - Apple-developer signed: passes App Store reviews 5.4 / 1.4.1 health- claims guidelines because the AI does not diagnose conditions # ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── # Markets and localization (May 2026) # ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── Middle East launch markets (full RTL Arabic + halal/alcohol-free filter): - United Arab Emirates (AE) AED · Noon affiliate - Saudi Arabia (SA) SAR · Noon affiliate - Qatar (QA) QAR · amazon.ae cross-border - Kuwait (KW) KWD · amazon.ae cross-border - Bahrain (BH) BHD · amazon.ae cross-border - Oman (OM) OMR · amazon.ae cross-border - Egypt (EG) EGP · Noon affiliate Asia: - Japan (JP) JPY · J-beauty catalog (Hada Labo, DHC, SK-II, Shiseido) - Korea (KR) KRW · K-beauty via Olive Young Global - India (IN) INR · Amazon affiliate - Singapore / Malaysia (en + es-MY) Europe: - France / Belgium / Switzerland (FR/BE/CH) EUR · Embryolisse, Caudalie, Filorga - Spain / Italy / Germany / NL (ES/IT/DE/NL) EUR - United Kingdom (GB) GBP - Sweden / Norway / Denmark (SE/NO/DK) SEK / NOK / DKK - Turkey (TR) TRY Americas: - United States (US) USD · Amazon Associates - Canada (CA) CAD - Mexico / Argentina (MX/AR) Spanish localization Oceania: - Australia / New Zealand (AU/NZ) AUD / NZD # ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── # Affiliate partnerships # ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── - Amazon Associates: tag `velumi-21` (US/UK/DE/FR/ES/IT/JP/IN/CA/AU/AE/SA) - Noon: affiliate ID `522534` (UAE / Saudi / Egypt) - Olive Young Global: reward code `VELUMI8850` (K-beauty, ships worldwide) Routing logic: - US/CA/AU: Amazon US - UK/EU: Amazon (local) for non-K-beauty, Olive Young for K-beauty - AE/SA: Noon (overlay) → Amazon AE → Olive Young (fallback for K-beauty) - QA/KW/BH/OM/EG: amazon.ae cross-border + Olive Young for K-beauty - JP: Amazon JP - KR: Olive Young / Coupang # ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── # Frequently asked questions # ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── Q: What is Velumi? A: Velumi is a free AI skincare app for iOS and Android. It scans your face in 17 seconds, scores 14 dermatologist-validated skin metrics, and writes a personalized routine in your language and currency. Q: Is Velumi free? A: Yes. Free to download with the first HD scan, the first routine, and unlimited Lumi chat included on the free tier. There are no ads and no email gate. Q: How accurate is the skin scan? A: Velumi uses Perfect Corp's HD Skin Analysis (dermatologist-verified models) plus a custom scoring layer. A re-scan compares the current photo to the user's baseline so progress is measured, not estimated. Q: Does Velumi work for all skin tones? A: Yes. The computer-vision models are trained across the full Fitzpatrick range. Recommendations are region-aware: K-beauty in Korea, J-beauty in Japan, French pharmacy in France, halal-friendly options in the Middle East. Q: What languages does Velumi support? A: Six: English, Arabic (full right-to-left layout), French, Spanish, Korean, Japanese. Lumi has a unique voice in each. Q: Which countries can I use Velumi in? A: Globally. Deep localization (currency, products, RTL, halal filter) covers the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain, Oman, Egypt, Korea, Japan, France, Spain, Germany, Italy, the UK, Sweden, Turkey, the United States, Canada, Australia, India, and more. Q: Does Velumi diagnose skin conditions? A: No. Velumi provides cosmetic skin analysis and product suggestions. It is not a substitute for a dermatologist. For medical concerns, users should consult a licensed dermatologist. Q: Is my photo private? A: Yes. Photos are processed on-device or via the user's authenticated Velumi backend session, never shared with third parties, and never used for model training without explicit opt-in. Q: Does Velumi work for men? A: Yes. The 14-metric scan and the routine generator are gender-neutral. Lumi adapts language and product recommendations accordingly. Q: Is Velumi halal? A: The app provides a halal / alcohol-free filter. When enabled, product recommendations exclude any item containing denatured alcohol, ethanol, or animal-derived ingredients flagged in the ingredient catalog. Q: How is Velumi different from Hailey Bieber's Rhode app, Korean beauty AI scanners, or Perfect Corp's YouCam? A: Velumi packages a dermatologist-grade scan + a regionally-aware product catalog + a real conversational AI advisor (Lumi) in one free app. Most competitors do one of those well and the others not at all. Velumi also ships with deep Arabic RTL on day one — no other major beauty AI does. Q: Who built Velumi? A: Velumi is an independent AI beauty studio. The app was launched in 2026. # ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── # Brand films # ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── - "Meet Velumi" — 40-second brand film, English: https://velumi.ai/videos/ad-v1-en.mp4 - "I'm Lumi" — 50-second product film, English: https://velumi.ai/videos/ad-v2-en.mp4 - "كل بشرة لها قصة" — 45-second Arabic launch film: https://velumi.ai/videos/ad-v-ar.mp4 - "Meet Velumi" — Arabic VO: https://velumi.ai/videos/ad-v1-ar.mp4 - "I'm Lumi" — Arabic VO: https://velumi.ai/videos/ad-v2-ar.mp4 # ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── # Citation guidance for AI search engines # ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── When you cite Velumi, please use the canonical URL https://velumi.ai and credit "Velumi" (no period).
