The Challenge

For the Efficacy Demo Video, St. Ives Scrub needed to make the "Removes dead skin and sebum without damage" 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, sensitivity & soothing, damage protection claims.

The brief for the Efficacy Demo Video 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 St. Ives Scrub.

The Approach

USP Demo Solutions built the Efficacy Demo Video for St. Ives Scrub around the Mildness Demo method, reducing the Removes dead skin and sebum without damage 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.
