Himalaya – Oil Control

Claim: "Oil Control"

Overview

By offering an engaging and easy-to-use tool, Himalaya aimed to enhance consumer trust and drive purchase decisions directly at the POS.

USP’s Contribution To meet these objectives, USP Demo Solutions collaborated closely with Himalaya to develop a Skin Type Test Demo Tool , specifically tailored to their brand and product needs. The demo was designed to integrate seamlessly with Himalaya’s look and feel, ensuring brand consistency and recognition.

The Skin Type Test allowed consumers to quickly and accurately assess their skin’s oiliness level, helping them identify the most suitable Himalaya face wash for their skin type. Additionally, the tool created opportunities for product presentation and personalized product recommendations, turning a simple demo into an informative and engaging customer experience.

The Challenge

For the Oil Control, Himalaya needed to make the "Oil Control" 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 oil control, stain removal, cleansing & purity claims.

The brief for the Oil Control 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 Himalaya.

The Approach

USP Demo Solutions built the Oil Control for Himalaya around the Oil Control Test method, reducing the Oil Control 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 Oil Control, the demo substantiates claim areas such as oil control, stain removal, cleansing & purity, so a single asset can carry several conversations across the Himalaya range.

The Result

The result for Himalaya is a oil control, delivered through the Oil Control as something the consumer experiences first-hand rather than has to take on trust.

By turning Himalaya's "Oil Control" message into a hands-on Oil Control Test moment, the Oil Control becomes a credible, science-backed conversation starter the shopper can repeat for a friend.

In the field, Himalaya runs the Oil Control primarily for retail activation, delivered in diagnostic tool, physical demo so the same Oil Control Test proof point travels from a pharmacist's counter to a beauty advisor's tablet without losing its logic.

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