Estée Lauder – Wrinkle Test
Claim: "Reduce wrinkles"
Overview
Through this Wrinkle Test , consumers could quickly measure their wrinkle levels in seconds. The test card’s design made it easy for users to apply the strip themselves, giving them instant feedback without needing assistance. However, to fully interpret the results–and get the best product recommendations–they would head to Estée Lauder’s cosmetic counter, where expert beauty advisors awaited. These trained professionals could then consult with each consumer, interpreting the data and customizing a skincare regimen tailored specifically to their wrinkle profile.
By shifting the conversation from selling to consulting , Estée Lauder successfully bridged the gap between brand information and personal relevance. Customers could now clearly understand why certain products were being recommended, building trust in the brand’s solutions for reducing wrinkles and nurturing healthy, youthful skin. The ease of use and portability of the Wrinkle Level Tester underscored Estée Lauder’s commitment to consumer-centric innovation–allowing shoppers to engage with the technology at the point of sale or in the comfort of their homes.
The Challenge
For the Wrinkle Test, Estée Lauder needed to make the "Reduce wrinkles" 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 anti-aging claims.
The brief for the Wrinkle Test 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 Estée Lauder.
The Approach
USP Demo Solutions built the Wrinkle Test for Estée Lauder around the Wrinkle Test method, reducing the Reduce wrinkles 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 Wrinkle Test, the demo substantiates claim areas such as anti-aging, so a single asset can carry several conversations across the Estée Lauder range.
The Result
The result for Estée Lauder is a interactive tool, delivered through the Wrinkle Test as something the consumer experiences first-hand rather than has to take on trust.
By turning Estée Lauder's "Reduce wrinkles" message into a hands-on Wrinkle Test moment, the Wrinkle Test becomes a credible, science-backed conversation starter the shopper can repeat for a friend.
In the field, Estée Lauder runs the Wrinkle Test primarily for retail activation, delivered in diagnostic tool, physical demo so the same Wrinkle Test proof point travels from a pharmacist's counter to a beauty advisor's tablet without losing its logic.
Because the Wrinkle Test is run by the consumer rather than presented to them, Estée Lauder earns a moment of genuine participation that lands harder than any printed skin care claim.
USP Demo Solutions engineers each Wrinkle Test demo to be portable, on brand and repeatable, so Estée Lauder can roll the Wrinkle Test out across markets without retraining staff every time.
