Three Seconds Skin Analysis: Find the Foundation for your Skin Type

About the project

The Revlon marketing team wanted to enhance the reputation of its brand and increase the market share of its face products. To achieve this, Revlon needed to engage shoppers at the Monoprix point of sale, through special make-up consultation bars which used both digital and kinesthetic tools, to educate women of their needs. The tool needed to be easy to use, together with a beauty advisor or alone, educational, personal, and be an accurate guide for the customer to know their specific skin type requirements and product need.

How did USP Solutions help?

The demo developed by our team was a 2-zone skin type tester card. On one side with the result comparison scale so that shoppers could easily identify their skin type and on the other to better choose the products relevant to their needs.

Skin Analysis Demo helped to trigger consumer engagement, improve consumer impact, and involved emotions with its power. It also gave the beauty advisor’s increased confidence, compensating for any lack of selling skills by providing a tool that changes selling to a consulting. Used alone, it achieved a powerful ‘Aha’ moment of truth.

About the project

The aim of this brand activation campaign was to enable consumers to pick “the right product” out of the Gatineau Paris product portfolio, knowing – that only happy and satisfied consumers fall in love with a brand and buy again.

What was the challenge?

For their upcoming “Gatineau Paris” brand activation the Gatineau team needed a tool that could provide consumers with a solid and reliable skin texture analysis. The goal: based on the skin analysis results consumers should be guided to pick the right product out of the Gatineau Paris assortment.

How did USP Solutions help?

Understanding our client needs for a reliable and solid skin texture analysis, the experts recommended a 2D Wrinkle card. This card not only provided the tests itself and the result fields but also provided space for a product recommendation.

As a first step, initial concepts and prototypes, differing in size and shape, were sent to the Gatineau team. 

After deciding on how the sensory marketing tool will be used in the campaign, the USP experts took the lead in handling artwork, printing and on-time delivery in the usual, professional manner.

How does the tester work?

This wrinkle test consists of two parts: a Powder Applicator and a Visual Patch. When used together, the strips deliver a 2-dimensional visualization of the skin’s surface structure and/or expression lines.

How It Works (corner of the eye version):

  • Gently apply the powder to the skin to be tested.
  • Gently press the Visual Patch onto the powdered skin area,
  • Compare the result on the Visual Patch with the reference fields.
