Neutrogena – In-Store Hydration Demo

For the In-Store Hydration Demo, Neutrogena needed to make the "Hydrated skin" promise something shoppers in the body 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 claims.

The brief for the In-Store Hydration Demo 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 Neutrogena.

Neutrogena, a global leader in skincare, aimed to create a highly engaging and educational demo tool to be used at points of sale in France. The goal was threefold:

USP Demo Solutions built the In-Store Hydration Demo for Neutrogena around the Hydration Test - Body method, reducing the Hydrated skin story to a single visible reaction the consumer can trigger themselves. That gives the conversation a clear before/after moment in the body care aisle instead of a one-way pitch.

From the same physical interaction with the In-Store Hydration Demo, the demo substantiates claim areas such as hydration, so a single asset can carry several conversations across the Neutrogena range.

The result for Neutrogena is a educate on body's hydration level, delivered through the In-Store Hydration Demo as something the consumer experiences first-hand rather than has to take on trust.

By turning Neutrogena's "Hydrated skin" message into a hands-on Hydration Test - Body moment, the In-Store Hydration Demo becomes a credible, science-backed conversation starter the shopper can repeat for a friend.

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

Because the In-Store Hydration Demo is run by the consumer rather than presented to them, Neutrogena earns a moment of genuine participation that lands harder than any printed body care claim.

Neutrogena, part of Johnson & Johnson, commissioned the In-Store Hydration Demo as a body care demonstration tool built by USP Demo Solutions around the "Hydrated skin" claim.

Technically, the Neutrogena demo relies on Hydration Test - Body and supports claim areas including hydration.

For Neutrogena, the tool is available as diagnostic tool and typically deployed for retail activation, which keeps roll-outs flexible across markets.
