Cosmetics consumers eagerly expect visible proof of product efficacy which will help them understand product benefits. According to different sources, more than 90% of Japanese women expect to get information on skincare product efficacy, while function & ingredient is the No. 1 factor that 54% of Chinese consumers consider when choosing a skincare product.

Competition is intense and challenging, and companies are highlighting many new creative ways and specific directions/images to promote their products: from scientist demonstrations, and open sources to press releases, ingredient storytelling or emotional activation, without mentioning the texture illustration.

Asia Cosme Lab, the French consulting agency dedicated to the Asian cosmetics market for more than 20 years, will highlight in a comprehensive way how key Asian brands and new players are communicating to the consumers their reasons for believe from scientific drivers to emotional efficacy insights. The webinar will screen via social networks, brand websites, influencers’ voices, retail animation & collaboration a selection of different levels of communication related to efficacy versus consumer needs & expectations.
