Analysing The Packaging For Neutrogena, A Global Skincare Brand!

About Neutrogena

Neutrogena has been leading the global skincare market with their effective and approachable skincare products.

Their acne-treatment range is a global best-seller. It’s a brand that’s loved by all and today we will use our packaging prediction model to analyse what makes their products fly off the shelves!

Confetti’s Packaging
Prediction Model™

Imagine you have multiple designs for your latest product packaging. How do you decide which one to go forward with?

Based on our research, out of 72 brands, 89% of them simply launched the product in the packaging that the “founder found beautiful”. No wonder they have a hard time selling.

Our Packaging Performance Model™ changes that!

The Analysis

Neutrogena x Confetti

STEP 1

Understanding Their Ideal Customer

Based on our research, Neutrogena’s ideal customer profile is college going females who are suffering from acne and oily skin.

This information allowed us to create the initial user persona. It includes a user’s demographic, paying capacity, awareness about the product, etc.

We call this “Information Set 1.”

STEP 2

Studying The Product

Once we studied the user, it’s time for us to analyse the product within the Industry it operates in. This includes answering the question around it’s price point, the legacy of it’s brand, how competitive the Industry is, etc.

Approx 10 data points are collected for the product which is condensed into “Information Set 2”

“Unique Purchase Drivers”

This is what your customer should see...

Data available in Information Set 1 and 2 was passed through our algorithm to Identify the unique purchase drivers (UPD) for the ideal users when they are looking to buy a skin-care related product. Here is what we found

STEP 2

Finding Unique
Purchase Drivers (UPD)

Through our analysis algorithm, we found out these to be the purchase drivers along with their necessary visibility:

Brand name (80%) -> UPD
USP (70%) -> UPD
Product name (55%)
Key benefits of the product (75%) -> UPD
Ingredients (40%)
Price (30%)
Origin (10%)

Purchase drivers with the highest suggested visibility become the UPD.

“Current Purchase Drivers”

This is what you are showing...

The current design and how different information is laid out changes how a user looks at the product. The information with a better hierarchy has more changes of being noticed. The information that has the highest hierarchy is called “Current Purchase Driver” (CPD).

Basically, this is what the brand is showing in their packaging.

STEP 4

Finding Current Purchase Drivers (CPD)

We use eye-tracking technology which is validated by real-life user tests to create a packaging heatmap. This heatmap summarises what the user is most likely to see and what they might ignore.

This is what the heatmap for Neutrogena looked like!

Custom Purchase Drivers For Neutrogena

Based on the heatmap analysis, the CPD for Neutrogena were:

Brand name (79%)
USP (50%)
Product name (70%)
Key benefits of the product (71%)
Ingredients (NA%)
Price (NA%)
Origin (NA%)

This means the current packaging design of Neutrogena is primarily showing these 3 elemenst!

Measuring Purchase Affinity

UPD = CPD

This means what the customer wants to see is what the product is showing!

High Purchase Affinity

UPD CPD

This means what your product is showing what the customer does not want!

Low Purchase Affinity

Extremely High
Purchase Affinity!

We observed that Neutrogena’s product demonstratges CPD that is extremely close to the UPD that we found earlier for their Ideal customers.

This hints towards a high purchase affinity by this type of user.

This is an amazing achievement for Neutrogena as how they demonstrate understanding user’s needs through minimalist product packaging which still sells more than any other product!

This is what makes an Industry Leader!

Relying on objective methods to evaluate packaging designs is better than guesswork.

Big brands and Industry leaders know this but small-mid sized brands do not.

And we’re here to help you… so you can build an Iconic and best-selling brand that users love!
