Dermala – Skin health diagnostic tool

For the Skin health diagnostic tool, Dermala needed to make the "Diagnosis" 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, repair, ph balance claims.

The brief for the Skin health diagnostic tool 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 Dermala.

Dermala, a leading brand in dermocosmetics, sought to create an innovative tool to engage consumers, help them better understand their skin, and drive purchase intent. The challenge was to go beyond traditional marketing materials and deliver a hybrid physical + digital solution...

USP Demo Solutions built the Skin health diagnostic tool for Dermala around the Oil Control Test method, reducing the Diagnosis 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.

From the same physical interaction with the Skin health diagnostic tool, the demo substantiates claim areas such as oil control, repair, ph balance, so a single asset can carry several conversations across the Dermala range.

The result for Dermala is a educating on ph-value and skin type, delivered through the Skin health diagnostic tool as something the consumer experiences first-hand rather than has to take on trust.

By turning Dermala's "Diagnosis" message into a hands-on Oil Control Test moment, the Skin health diagnostic tool becomes a credible, science-backed conversation starter the shopper can repeat for a friend.

In the field, Dermala runs the Skin health diagnostic tool primarily for retail activation, pharmacy, digital campaign, delivered in diagnostic tool so the same Oil Control Test proof point travels from a pharmacist's counter to a beauty advisor's tablet without losing its logic.
