Mixa – Skin Type Test

L'Oréal

Claim: "Clear skin"

Overview

The tool needed to be safe, accurate, and visually appealing, ensuring it caught attention while delivering meaningful value to users.

USP’s Contribution USP Demo Solutions partnered with Mixa to develop an eye-catching Skin Type Test Tool tailored to the brand’s objectives. The tool provided consumers with a simple and accurate way to determine their skin type, guiding them toward the most suitable products within the Hyaluronic Expert range.

Designed for self-use, the tool aligned perfectly with Mixa’s focus on providing accessible and trustworthy skincare solutions. Its intuitive design ensured a seamless experience, empowering users to make informed decisions independently.

The Challenge

For the Skin Type Test, Mixa needed to make the "Clear skin" 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 sensitivity & soothing, hydration claims.

The brief for the Skin Type Test 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 Mixa.

The Approach

To support the launch of their Hyaluronic Expert skincare line, Mixa’s marketing team sought an engaging and consumer-friendly product recommendation tool. The goal was to create an easy-to-use activation tool that empowered consumers in Poland and the Baltics to independently...

USP Demo Solutions built the Skin Type Test for Mixa around the Skin Type Test method, reducing the Clear skin 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 Type Test, the demo substantiates claim areas such as sensitivity & soothing, hydration, so a single asset can carry several conversations across the Mixa range.

The Result

The result for Mixa is a clear skin, delivered through the Skin Type Test as something the consumer experiences first-hand rather than has to take on trust.

By turning Mixa's "Clear skin" message into a hands-on Skin Type Test moment, the Skin Type Test becomes a credible, science-backed conversation starter the shopper can repeat for a friend.

In the field, Mixa runs the Skin Type Test primarily for consultation tool, delivered in diagnostic tool so the same Skin Type Test proof point travels from a pharmacist's counter to a beauty advisor's tablet without losing its logic.
