During Skin Awareness Month in May, Cetaphil India sought a simple yet impactful way to educate consumers on different skin types and their specific needs—without relying heavily on in-store beauty advisors. Spearheaded by Rajesh Mane, the brand partnered with USP Solutions to develop an innovative Skin Type Tester seamlessly integrated into a skin information booklet. Attached to each on-shelf product, this booklet not only offered general skincare knowledge but also enabled consumers to identify their personal skin needs independently.
The tool itself is quick, straightforward, and requires no additional assistance. By simply applying the Skin Type Tester to the face, users gain immediate insights into their skin type—be it dry, combination, oily, or sensitive. Cetaphil’s claim of providing a care solution for sensitive skin is underpinned by this interactive experience, as consumers can see first-hand why certain formulations may be more suitable than others. Beyond educating customers about basic skin care requirements, the booklet also directs them to the ideal Cetaphil product for their unique profile.
This demo creation proved invaluable in pharmacies and other POS channels, driving product discovery while building trust in Cetaphil’s scientific approach to skincare. By blending a tangible, easy-to-use tester with a handy, informative booklet, Cetaphil India successfully enhanced consumer engagement. This synergy not only positioned the brand as an authority on personalized skincare but also deepened customer loyalty—ensuring sensitive skin solutions remain top of mind long after Skin Awareness Month.
