Dermalogica – Advanced Skin Cleanser

Unilever

Claim: "Cleanses skin of impurities"

Overview

To capture consumer attention and drive product adoption, Dermalogica needed a tool that:

USP Demo Solutions collaborated with Dermalogica to develop a residue detection tool designed to correlate with sebum build-up on the consumer’s skin. This tool provided:

This simple yet powerful tool became a critical component in Dermalogica’s in-store demonstrations, helping to bridge the gap between product benefits and consumer needs.

The Challenge

For the Advanced Skin Cleanser, Dermalogica needed to make the "Cleanses skin of impurities" 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 cleansing & purity claims.

The brief for the Advanced Skin Cleanser 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 Dermalogica.

The Approach

USP Demo Solutions built the Advanced Skin Cleanser for Dermalogica around the Skin Type Test method, reducing the Cleanses skin of impurities 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 Advanced Skin Cleanser, the demo substantiates claim areas such as cleansing & purity, so a single asset can carry several conversations across the Dermalogica range.

The Result

The result for Dermalogica is a clear skin, delivered through the Advanced Skin Cleanser as something the consumer experiences first-hand rather than has to take on trust.

By turning Dermalogica's "Cleanses skin of impurities" message into a hands-on Skin Type Test moment, the Advanced Skin Cleanser becomes a credible, science-backed conversation starter the shopper can repeat for a friend.

In the field, Dermalogica runs the Advanced Skin Cleanser primarily for pharmacy, internal training, consultation tool, delivered in diagnostic tool so the same Skin Type Test proof point travels from a pharmacist's counter to a beauty advisor's tablet without losing its logic.

Because the Advanced Skin Cleanser is run by the consumer rather than presented to them, Dermalogica earns a moment of genuine participation that lands harder than any printed skin care claim.
