5 Amazing Benefits of a Skincare Finder

At Skin Match Technology our ethos is cultivating transparency and inclusivity in the beauty industry to help brands make their consumers feel unique. Our way of achieving this is by developing a skincare finder which we have recently helped male grooming retailers BEAST and MISTR implement for their consumers. Skin Match Technology is always partnering with the best brands with the best skin care products which is why we saw the fruitful opportunity to team up with men-only grooming platforms BEAST and MISTR to showcase how the skincare advisor and the services we offer are completely adaptable to any market and brands that focus on a more exclusive market. This guide will give you an insight into the benefits of a digital skincare advisor and why it is becoming imperative if you want your brand at forefront of beauty tech.

Why a Skincare Advisor is Important?

74% of consumers feel uninterested when content is not about them, this is why it is so important for beauty brands to get to know their consumers and an online skin analysis is the most beneficial way for brands and consumers. By offering a skin care advisor on your brands’ site, you gain results and begin to know what type of consumers you have, once you know your consumers you know what they want and what to supply them with. Another reason why a skin care advisor is important is because of the health climate that we are in. The Covid pandemic catapulted many industries into a state of panic which forced them to evolve faster and make adjustments which ensure the safety of consumers and employees but still delivers seamless service to consumers which do not affect sales.

A skin care advisor is social distance friendly, its a way to proved consumers with their very own consultation in the comfort and safety of their own homes. Consultations are important and administering the correct consultation is even more important, it’s something consumers rely on because they actually grow to trust their beauty brands and find it a challenge and disappointing if they feel they need to change brands.

57% of consumers say that they will not buy cosmetics if there is no consultation, I.e consumers need more information and need to know they can count on their brands.

So how does it work?

The online skincare consultation is created in an extremely user-friendly way to ensure that consumers want to use it and are excited to know which products fit their skin type and preferences. In order to make accurate recommendations brands have to avoid the big data approach which generalizes consumers based on majority results. It is important that consumers feel seen and the best way to do that is to provide results made just for that specific customer.

We considered the key factors about the consumer and their skincare routines like allergies, gender, skin conditions at different times of the day, and what skin goals the customer would like to achieve. This leads to the way in which the skincare advisor is set up- in the form of a questionnaire and by the end of the questionnaire the customer receives a detailed skin care routine. In the case of BEAST and MISTR, the male customer with receive a  4 step skin care routine which includes moisturizer recommendation and even grooming/ facial hair care amongst other recommendations. 

Benefits of the Skincare Finder

1. Personalized Recommendations That Drive Conversions

One of the biggest advantages of offering a skincare finder is the ability to deliver personalized recommendations instantly. When customers get product suggestions based on their individual skin concerns – like acne, dryness, or sensitivity – they’re much more likely to trust those recommendations and make a purchase.

That’s a significant boost to your bottom line. By removing the guesswork, you create a smarter shopping journey that makes customers feel confident – and more willing to buy.

For retailers, it’s a win-win: higher sales and happier customers.

2. Saves Time (for You and Your Customers) & Reduces Product Waste

When customers don’t know what to buy, they often end up purchasing multiple products “just to try” – many of which get returned or sit unused. This not only affects the customer experience but also increases product returns and inventory waste for retailers.

A skincare finder streamlines the decision-making process. It points customers to products that match their needs right away, saving time and reducing unnecessary spending. As a result, you can expect fewer returns, less dissatisfaction, and a more efficient shopping experience overall.

Plus, it frees up your staff and resources – less time answering repetitive questions means more time spent on building relationships and growing your brand.

3. Minimizes Customer Complaints & Skin Reactions

Let’s face it – using the wrong skincare product can lead to breakouts, redness, or irritation. And when that happens, guess who hears about it first? You, the retailer.

A well-designed skincare finder reduces this risk by allowing customers to input personal sensitivities and preferences, like avoiding certain ingredients or choosing fragrance-free, vegan, or cruelty-free options. This helps customers find products that are safe and suitable for their skin, cutting down on negative reviews, returns, and customer service issues.

By minimizing product mismatches, you protect both your brand’s reputation and your customer relationships.

4. Educates Shoppers and Builds Product Confidence

Many customers aren’t skincare experts – they may not know the difference between niacinamide and hyaluronic acid, or why certain ingredients are ideal for their skin type. A skincare finder can act as a mini skincare coach, offering helpful insights and ingredient transparency during the buying process.

This not only boosts product understanding but also makes customers feel empowered in their decision. When people understand why a product is right for them, they’re more likely to trust the brand and stick with it.

For retailers, this means fewer abandoned carts, higher satisfaction, and stronger brand loyalty – all because you helped your customers make informed, confident choices.

5. Improves Customer Experience and Brand Loyalty

Incorporating a skincare finder into your online store can dramatically improve the overall shopping experience. Instead of scrolling through dozens of products and feeling overwhelmed, customers are guided through a simple, engaging quiz or tool that feels tailored just for them.

This interactive journey increases engagement time, keeps visitors on your site longer, and leads to a more enjoyable user experience. When customers feel like your brand “gets them,” they’re much more likely to return for future purchases – and recommend your store to others.

A skincare finder also shows that your brand is modern, tech-savvy, and genuinely invested in helping people find what works best for their skin. That kind of experience leads to repeat business and long-term customer loyalty.
