Nivea Netherlands aimed to enhance the consumer experience by introducing a skin diagnostic tool at the point of sale. The goal was to guide shoppers toward the most suitable products from the Nivea skincare range by enabling them to test and identify their skin type easily and reliably. This tool needed to be interactive, engaging, and sensory-driven, ensuring a memorable and educational experience for consumers.
To meet these objectives, Nivea partnered with USP Solutions to create a haptic tester experience that translated the brand’s commitment to personalized skincare into an innovative in-store activation.
