Deep dive

The solution begins with an interactive questionnaire designed from real customer service insights and expert input. It collects details about each customer’s skin type, concerns, and goals to create an individualized profile.
Based on these inputs, the AI recommends a tailored skincare routine. All collected data is stored, enabling advanced segmentation, personalized communications, and targeted marketing campaigns.

The Challenge

Customers unsure which products fit their needs
