Measurable and quick beauty solutions

Preparing for a pitch for a new skincare+haircare brand, I went through quite a few campaigns done lately by different brands. I find common themes.

Measuring beauty is a tough thing. So, for every beauty problem, to differentiate themselves brands are trying to introduce measurability and trying to assure results in a specific period of time. And this time is rather short. Say 30 days or 14 days or, in some instances, just a week.

But here's the catch. Now there are so many products for each little purpose that if you were to dream of keeping your skin in perfect condition then, going by all the marketing claims, you would have to devote no less than 1 hour daily simply applying these products. But going by the packed routine in general and the commensurate laziness/pain in doing anything extra, even measurability is a tough motivation for people to use different products at the same time.

My estimate is that multi-purpose formulations are gonna eventually do better business than individual need-based formulations.

    I totally agree to your point of view.
    No wonder brands like Garnier & Olay have come up with complete solutions.
    A lot of working women,girls who have little time to spend on applying coat after coat of these various cosmetics, have now started adopting total solution formulations.
    However, I feel that these cosmetics still operate in the niche category of “Age Miracle/ Age retention”.women in their late 20’s-early 30’s. While there is a lot of requirement of these kind of products/solutions for even younger generations who are highly deprived of time. Thanks to work hard, party harder attitude of the younger generation

    “Do better” is a very relative term- much like success can be quantified in terms of Market share by volume and value. It depends on you wish to measure the success under units sold or revenue earned.
    Choice of product also a function of the need and seriousness of the problem; do you want a moisturiser, or a dry skin/ oily skin special, anti-aging or a fairness specilist.
    Multi-purpose do better… I have my doubts. A case in point: Zandu Balm, Amrutanjan, Boroline have been Multi Purpose. Vicco Turmeric was a baap of multi purpose. All have been monuments as brands and have seen their hay days. But in the long run, the Moov, Iodex, Volini, Fair ‘n Lovely have made a bigger impact as specialists.
    I guess a closer look into our closets will actually reveal that we are more game for specilists rather than multi purpose products.
