Pond’s – Age Miracle – Wrinkle Test
Unilever
Claim: "Reduced wrinkles"
The Challenge
For the Age Miracle – Wrinkle Test, Pond’s needed to communicate the "Reduced wrinkles" 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 Age Miracle – 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 and on message for Pond’s.
The Approach
USP Demo Solutions designed the Age Miracle – Wrinkle Test for Pond’s around the Wrinkle Test method, the same proof logic our team uses across global skin care programmes. The tool reduces the Reduced wrinkles 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.
For their upcoming activation in South East Asia, the POND’S team was looking for a demo tool to prove claim truth and product superiority – easily, reliably and with no risk.
It was built to substantiate claim areas such as anti-aging, all from the same physical interaction with the Age Miracle – Wrinkle Test, so a single asset can carry several conversations across the Pond’s range.
The Result
The result for Pond’s is a indirect selling delivered through the Age Miracle – Wrinkle Test, something the consumer experiences first-hand rather than something they have to take on trust.
By replacing abstract product copy with a hands-on Wrinkle Test moment, the Age Miracle – Wrinkle Test gives Pond’s'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, Pond’s runs the Age Miracle – Wrinkle Test 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 Wrinkle Test logic.
