Abstract

This information processing system comprises a storage unit and a control unit. The storage unit stores, in association with each other, information that indicates a plurality of skin types, and information that indicates, among a plurality of feature items indicating a feature of skin, a dominant feature item the degree which tends to be statistically high for the skin of each of the skin types. The control unit acquires information related to the skin type of a user of a user terminal and analyzes skin-related information related to the condition of the skin of the user, thereby determining the degree of the dominant feature item corresponding to the relevant skin type. In addition, the control unit transmits, to the user terminal, potential item information which is information related to a dominant feature item the degree of which is less than a predetermined threshold or is the lowest among the determined dominant feature items.
