L'Oréal
Claim: "Sun care"
Overview
At the heart of the campaign was a hands-on UV test card designed to visually demonstrate the difference between exposure vs. protection . The card featured two test fields (Field 1 / Field 2) and clear “How it works” bi-lingual instructions, encouraging users to expose both fields to sunlight . Then they were directed to apply the Garnier UV product to one field and re-expose, revealing a visible contrast that signalled how the product can shield skin from UV rays . This turned a complex, often invisible topic into a quick moment of understanding that consumers could try themselves and share.
From a brand management perspective, the activation delivered a tight link between awareness → understanding → product relevance
In total, 10,000 units of the demo tool were produced and deployed, creating scale while keeping the format lightweight and easy to distribute. Overall, it’s a strong example of phygital marketing : a tactile retail mechanic designed for real-world trial, engineered to travel through influencer storytelling and social sharing, ultimately boosting product awareness, brand salience, and daily sunscreen usage behaviour.
The Challenge
For the Garnier Super UV awareness activation, Garnier Super UV awareness activation needed to make the "Sun care" promise something shoppers in the sun 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 uv protection, damage protection claims.
The brief for the Garnier Super UV awareness activation 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 Garnier Super UV awareness activation.
The Approach
This project was an awareness activation built around a simple idea: make UV damage and UV protection feel real and instantly understandable, through an interactive, shareable experience at point of sale, amplified by influencers.
USP Demo Solutions built the Garnier Super UV awareness activation for Garnier Super UV awareness activation around the UV Efficacy Test method, reducing the Sun care story to a single visible reaction the consumer can trigger themselves. That gives the conversation a clear before/after moment in the sun care aisle instead of a one-way pitch.
From the same physical interaction with the Garnier Super UV awareness activation, the demo substantiates claim areas such as uv protection, damage protection, so a single asset can carry several conversations across the Garnier Super UV awareness activation range.
The Result
The result for Garnier Super UV awareness activation is a uv efficacy, delivered through the Garnier Super UV awareness activation as something the consumer experiences first-hand rather than has to take on trust.
By turning Garnier Super UV awareness activation's "Sun care" message into a hands-on UV Efficacy Test moment, the Garnier Super UV awareness activation becomes a credible, science-backed conversation starter the shopper can repeat for a friend.
In the field, Garnier Super UV awareness activation runs the Garnier Super UV awareness activation primarily for retail activation, influencer, delivered in diagnostic tool so the same UV Efficacy Test proof point travels from a pharmacist's counter to a beauty advisor's tablet without losing its logic.
