Sanex – Hydration Test

For the Hydration Test, Sanex 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, anti-dandruff claims.

The brief for the Hydration 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 Sanex.

USP Demo Solutions built the Hydration Test for Sanex 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 Hydration Test, the demo substantiates claim areas such as hydration, anti-dandruff, so a single asset can carry several conversations across the Sanex range.

The result for Sanex is a dry, flaky skin visual, delivered through the Hydration Test as something the consumer experiences first-hand rather than has to take on trust.

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

In the field, Sanex runs the Hydration Test primarily for retail activation, delivered in diagnostic tool, physical demo 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 Hydration Test is run by the consumer rather than presented to them, Sanex earns a moment of genuine participation that lands harder than any printed body care claim.

USP Demo Solutions engineers each Hydration Test - Body demo to be portable, on brand and repeatable, so Sanex can roll the Hydration Test out across markets without retraining staff every time.

Sanex, part of Colgate Palmolive, commissioned the Hydration Test as a body care demonstration tool built by USP Demo Solutions around the "Hydrated skin" claim.

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

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