Nivea – Make Up Clear Foam

For the Make Up Clear Foam, Nivea needed to communicate the "No facial residue" promise in the Skin Care category in a way shoppers could actually see not just read on a label. Standard claim copy and ingredient lists rarely move consumers in the few seconds they spend at shelf or in a consultation, especially when competing products list almost identical benefits.

The brief for the Make Up Clear Foam 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 and on message for Nivea.

USP Demo Solutions designed the Make Up Clear Foam for Nivea around the Facial Residue Test method, the same proof logic our team uses across global skin care programmes. The tool reduces the No facial residue story to a single visible reaction the consumer can trigger themselves, which gives the conversation a clear before/after moment instead of a one-way pitch.

Nivea was looking for a consumer engaging tool which could prove the new product’s cleansing efficacy to consumers easily and reliably. The Nivea An activation tool which was able to raise awareness, truly engage consumers and last but not least – was able to prove the...

It was built to substantiate claim areas such as cleansing & purity, all from the same physical interaction with the Make Up Clear Foam, so a single asset can carry several conversations across the Nivea range.

The result for Nivea is a show how effective your cleanser has worked delivered through the Make Up Clear Foam, something the consumer experiences first-hand rather than something they have to take on trust.

By replacing abstract product copy with a hands-on Facial Residue Test moment, the Make Up Clear Foam gives Nivea's skin care range a credible, science-backed conversation starter that moves the message from a label promise into a personal experience the shopper can repeat for a friend.

In the field, Nivea runs the Make Up Clear Foam primarily for retail activation, delivered in diagnostic tool so the same proof point travels from a pharmacist's counter to a beauty advisor's tablet without losing its core Facial Residue Test logic.
