Every beauty brand wants consumers to form a love connection with their products and become a loyal buyer from first use. Getting to the heart of these love connections is where Media Lab Science shines. Our consumer perception studies gather relatable, compelling claims from your most valuable resource—your consumer—in a casual, conversational style that is proven to reveal real, usable data that validates your product's efficacy and key points of difference.
Why do perception studies matter? Beauty brands of all kinds rely on consumers using their products and then raving about the results to help garner awareness and interest. But not all studies create the kind of data that matters to today’s consumer. In 2022, beauty buyers want transparency and to trust that the cosmetics and skincare they buy are going to help someone like them specifically. When they read consumer perception claims, they expect those claims to also come from someone who is similar to them. Who shares their skin tone, their skin concerns, and wants a similar outcome. A well-run consumer trial accounts for these expectations to ensure well-rounded results.

With guided, premeditated brand-specific questions, we extract pertinent and market-relevant information to give you the most valuable in-use claims and statements.
