To support the activation of their instant hand care lotion across 250 stores globally, Rituals required a diagnostic tool that was both engaging and capable of measuring the hydration level of consumers’ hands. The goal was to provide consumers with a tailored product recommendation based on their individual hydration needs, creating an elevated in-store experience.
The tool needed to empower beauty advisors to provide personalized consultations, including special hand treatments and product recommendations, while reinforcing Rituals’ commitment to luxurious and customized skincare solutions.
USP’s Contribution
