Dermosil – Online Shade Finder
Claim: "On-skin colour match"
Overview
To address this, they required a cost-effective, mess-free alternative to traditional product sampling that would provide users with a seamless on-skin matching experience, all while complementing their online shopping platform.
USP’s Contribution USP Demo Solutions developed the Real Shade Finder , a cutting-edge haptic tool designed to revolutionize foundation selection. This tool allows users to test various foundation shades directly on their skin, eliminating the mess and waste typically associated with physical samples.
The Real Shade Finder not only delivers a highly accurate on-skin match but also aligns perfectly with Dermosil’s commitment to offering a premium customer experience. By integrating this innovative solution, Dermosil bridged the gap between physical product testing and online shopping, creating a cohesive and engaging consumer journey.
The Challenge
For the Online Shade Finder, Dermosil needed to make the "On-skin colour match" promise something shoppers in the colour cosmetics 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 colour match claims.
The brief for the Online Shade Finder 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 Dermosil.
The Approach
USP Demo Solutions built the Online Shade Finder for Dermosil around the Real Shade Finder method, reducing the On-skin colour match story to a single visible reaction the consumer can trigger themselves. That gives the conversation a clear before/after moment in the colour cosmetics aisle instead of a one-way pitch.
From the same physical interaction with the Online Shade Finder, the demo substantiates claim areas such as colour match, so a single asset can carry several conversations across the Dermosil range.
The Result
The result for Dermosil is a colour match, delivered through the Online Shade Finder as something the consumer experiences first-hand rather than has to take on trust.
By turning Dermosil's "On-skin colour match" message into a hands-on Real Shade Finder moment, the Online Shade Finder becomes a credible, science-backed conversation starter the shopper can repeat for a friend.
In the field, Dermosil runs the Online Shade Finder primarily for pharmacy, digital campaign, consultation tool, delivered in phygital so the same Real Shade Finder proof point travels from a pharmacist's counter to a beauty advisor's tablet without losing its logic.
Because the Online Shade Finder is run by the consumer rather than presented to them, Dermosil earns a moment of genuine participation that lands harder than any printed colour cosmetics claim.
