WHAT DOES
MY SKIN NEED?
Many people consider skincare routines to be complicated because they may not know what products they actually need, which ones are optional, and in what order to apply them. SKIN by SKI-II will help solve these problems.

AUDIENCE RESEARCH
Gen Z:
The new generation of skincare experience
Gen Z, the generation that spends the most on skincare, values smart, safe, and transparent practices. SK-II's mission statement aligns with these values and is likely to resonate well with this generation.

COMPETITOR RESEARCH
In order to maintain customer loyalty in a more valuable and personalized way, SK-II must improve its customer service to differentiate from competitors.

USER RESEARCH
Skincare product information is too generic. Brands only sell using "one-size-fits-all" terms without explanation. To tackle this issue, I interviewed friends for insight.

PAIN POINTS
Developing the SKIN mobile app to answer all skin-related questions requires a thorough understanding of users' skincare concerns & needs, then coming up with solutions to all of them.
