Purchasing the right skincare products nurtures and protects the body's largest organ by promoting health, resilience and overall vitality—and the Skin-Vestment campaign by Kiehl’s engages Gen Z by reframing skincare as an investment. Focusing on the long-term benefits of early adoption of anti-aging solutions, this campaign taps into young adults' interest in financial investments and draws parallels with solid skincare investments for a brighter future.
The campaign spotlights the brand's Super Multi-Corrective family for the face and eyes, targeting specific concerns like fine lines, wrinkles, unevenness and loss of elasticity.
During the May Shopping Festival in Haikou, Kiehl’s partnered with China Duty Free Group to realize the Skin-Vestment concept. It included elements styled like stock tickers and stock charts, and a Bones Money Talks photo booth for people to frame themselves as the "World’s ‘Youngest Skin-Vestment expert."
