Acne Reduction

Validate your skincare's anti-acne effectiveness through automatic lesion counting, AI photographic tracking, and measurement of the emotional impact on self-confidence.

The client's challenge

A dermocosmetic laboratory is launching a anti-imperfection serum targeting mild to moderate acne and wants to validate its effectiveness with data that goes beyond simple self-assessments.

The anti-acne market is highly competitive. To stand out, the lab needs a dual messaging: objective clinical results (lesion counting) AND the positive emotional impact on users' daily lives.

The identified challenges

  • Objective counting of lesions before/after
  • Measure improvement across different acne types
  • Quantify the impact on self-confidence
  • Demonstrate effectiveness across multiple phototypes
