Clinique – Moisture Surge

For the Moisture Surge, Clinique needed to make the "Plump and healthy skin" promise something shoppers in the skin care category could see for themselves, not just read on a label. In the few seconds a shopper spends at shelf or in a consultation, copy and ingredient lists rarely land, especially when rival products advertise hydration, repair claims.

The brief for the Moisture Surge was to turn that abstract message into a tangible, repeatable proof point that retail staff, pharmacists or beauty advisors could run on demand, without lab equipment or specialist training, while staying on brand for Clinique.

USP Demo Solutions built the Moisture Surge for Clinique around the Hydration Test - Face method, reducing the Plump and healthy skin story to a single visible reaction the consumer can trigger themselves. That gives the conversation a clear before/after moment in the skin care aisle instead of a one-way pitch.

From the same physical interaction with the Moisture Surge, the demo substantiates claim areas such as hydration, repair, so a single asset can carry several conversations across the Clinique range.

The result for Clinique is a moisturized skin, delivered through the Moisture Surge as something the consumer experiences first-hand rather than has to take on trust.

By turning Clinique's "Plump and healthy skin" message into a hands-on Hydration Test - Face moment, the Moisture Surge becomes a credible, science-backed conversation starter the shopper can repeat for a friend.

In the field, Clinique runs the Moisture Surge primarily for retail activation, delivered in diagnostic tool so the same Hydration Test - Face proof point travels from a pharmacist's counter to a beauty advisor's tablet without losing its logic.

Because the Moisture Surge is run by the consumer rather than presented to them, Clinique earns a moment of genuine participation that lands harder than any printed skin care claim.

USP Demo Solutions engineers each Hydration Test - Face demo to be portable, on brand and repeatable, so Clinique can roll the Moisture Surge out across markets without retraining staff every time.

Built by USP Demo Solutions for Clinique, part of Estée Lauder,, the Moisture Surge serves the skin care category and puts the "Plump and healthy skin" claim on display.
