What is SkinIQ technology in Philips shavers?

Published on 25 August 2026

Philips SkinIQ technology is an intelligent shaving system designed to adapt to your beard and shaving technique for a close and comfortable shave.

SkinIQ technology is available across Philips Series 5000, Series 7000 and the i9000 range, with the specific features and level of guidance varying by shaver.

Depending on the shaver, SkinIQ technology can sense beard density and automatically adapt shaving power to your beard. More advanced SkinIQ features can also provide guidance on shaving pressure and technique, helping you get the best results from your shaver.

Some SkinIQ-enabled shavers can also connect to the GroomTribe app, providing personalized shaving guidance and insights to help you understand and improve your shaving routine over time.
