Method and System for Providing Targeted and Individualized Delivery of Cosmetic Actives

Abstract

A system and method are provided for targeted and individualized delivery of multiple skin benefit agents to the skin of a user. The image of a predetermined treatment area of the user's skin is first captured by an imaging device. The captured image data is then analyzed by a computing device to generate a unique skin profile for the user, which is indicative of the skin conditions at the predetermined treatment area. Based on such skin profile, a printing device prints out one or more cosmetic delivery sheets that can be applied to the predetermined treatment area. Each of the cosmetic delivery sheets contains a substrate with multiple isolate, discrete regions, while at least two of the regions are imprinted with different skin benefit agents for treating different skin conditions of the predetermined treatment area according to the unique skin profile of the user.

1 . A printer comprising cartridges that are filled with compositions containing skin benefit agents, wherein said printer is constructed to print the skin benefit agents onto a substrate through a heatless printing process. 
     
     
         2 . The printer of claim  10 , wherein the heatless printing process is achieved by using a pressure-driven ink jet.
