Nivea – What’s Your Skin Type?

For the What’s Your Skin Type?, Nivea 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 hydration, cleansing & purity claims.

The brief for the What’s Your Skin Type? 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 Nivea.

Nivea Chile recognized that many women were uncertain about their skin type, leading to challenges in choosing the right skincare products. To address this, they sought a diagnostic tool that would help consumers identify their unique skin type reliably and within seconds...

From the same physical interaction with the What’s Your Skin Type?, the demo substantiates claim areas such as hydration, cleansing & purity, so a single asset can carry several conversations across the Nivea range.

The result for Nivea is a indirect selling, delivered through the What’s Your Skin Type? as something the consumer experiences first-hand rather than has to take on trust.

By turning Nivea's "clear skin" message into a hands-on Skin Type Test moment, the What’s Your Skin Type? becomes a credible, science-backed conversation starter the shopper can repeat for a friend.

In the field, Nivea runs the What’s Your Skin Type? primarily for retail activation, 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.
