Oura Ring for Skin

The Lumoscope is a multispectral camera that clips onto your phone and scans your skin at home with the same light used in clinics. You see what a mirror can't: a breakout days before it surfaces, and wrinkles changing over time. Our software then reads that history, connects flare-ups to causes you'd never suspect, and matches products to what your own data shows works.

Lumeria - What if there was an Oura Ring for Skin?
See original launch post

Lumeria is the Oura Ring for Skin:

TLDR: Lumeria is the Oura Ring for Skin: the Lumoscope clips onto your phone, scans your skin with the same multispectral light used in clinics, and Lumi, your AI skin coach, reads that history to personalize recommendations for you, so your routine is built on your data instead of someone else's.

Preorders are open at the $199 founding price until August 16. After that, the price only goes up. https://lumeria.skin

❌ The problem

Anthea’s sister spent eight years chasing her eczema.

The cause turned out to be dust in the carpet.

No one caught it because no one was recording anything. Her skin was reacting to her sleep, her home, her products, the air around her, and none of it existed as data. Every dermatologist that took months to see started from zero. Every product she tried was a guess.

That is the $190B skincare industry in one story. It runs on guessing.

Lumeria ends that: it captures the missing data layer that gives you the power to understand and own your skin's health data, from home.

🔬 How it works

The Lumoscope shrinks the multi-spectrum imaging dermatology clinics use into a clip for your phone. Press it against your skin and see yourself in three kinds of light: true color (RGB), UV, and cross-polarized.

For the first time, you see what your mirror can't: a breakout building days before it surfaces, sun damage hiding under flawless-looking skin, where inflammation is building up.

Each scan becomes an objective read (hydration, redness, evenness, pigmentation, texture, pores) plus a score out of 100 and a skin age, so you can understand your progress.

Track them over time, and Lumi tells you exactly what to do. 

  • It finds the cause, linking your breakouts to habits you'd never think of, from your sleep to your cycle to the pillowcase you forgot to wash. 
  • It recommends products from a database of 18000+ products + ingredients, matched to what your scans actually show works.
  • It hands your dermatologist 90 days of images, trends, and context in one tap.
  • And it compounds: every scan adds to a history and increased understanding of your skin’s relevant context.

 It works across every skin tone. It is private and encrypted by default. 

👥 Why we built this

Anthea, our CTO, lived with this problem: suffering from eczema that would not heal, five months to reach a dermatologist, four misdiagnoses. She is an engineer who worked on computational biology at Google and Boehringer Ingelheim. Maryanne, our CEO, is a skincare creator with 25M+ views across her UGC portfolio, exited her first biotech company by 19, and still could not explain her own breakouts until Lumeria. We understand the helplessness people feel with their skin, so we built what was needed.

We are patent pending, shipping in Fall 2026, and built on 150+ interviews and 2 clinical partnerships with dermatologists and patients.
