Are You Facing These Challenges?
For businesses struggling with arranging cosmetics monitors
Difficult to get objective evaluations from internal monitors
Usage tests by employees make it hard to obtain honest evaluations, creating gaps with actual consumer reactions after market launch.
Cannot find monitors with specific skin types
Recruiting monitors with specific skin types such as sensitive or atopic skin is difficult, preventing verification with your target demographic.
Managing continuous usage tests is overwhelming
During multi-week continuous usage tests, monitor dropouts and forgotten records occur, making it impossible to secure sufficient valid data.
Want to objectively record before-and-after changes
Beyond subjective evaluations of perceived effectiveness, you want to record and compare skin conditions before and after use with photos, but lack the expertise.
Want to understand usage differences across age groups
Since skin conditions differ between those in their 20s and 40s, age-group evaluations are needed, but securing equal numbers of monitors for each group is challenging.
Need reports compliant with pharmaceutical regulations
You want to use collected evaluation data for marketing, but find it difficult to create reports with expressions that comply with pharmaceutical regulations.
Cosmetics Monitor Case Studies
Real examples from businesses that have used our service
Usage evaluation of new serum (4-week continuous test)
Arranged 30 women aged 30s-50s for a 4-week continuous usage test of a newly developed serum. Selected 10 monitors per skin type (normal, dry, sensitive), with daily usage diaries and weekly photo documentation. Tracked 8 criteria including moisturizing feel, absorption, stickiness, and fragrance on a 5-point scale.
Color shade evaluation of 3 foundations for the Japanese market
Conducted a monitor test with 25 Japanese women aged 20s-30s, having them actually use 3 popular Korean foundation shades for makeup. Evaluated compatibility with Japanese skin tones, coverage, long-lasting properties, and texture to collect color adjustment data for the Japanese market.
Fragrance and usage test for new organic shampoo
Conducted a 2-week shampoo usage test with 20 women of different hair types (straight, curly, color-treated, damaged). Evaluated lathering, post-wash feel, fragrance longevity, and hair manageability, quantifying perceived effectiveness by hair type.
Comprehensive evaluation of 5 affordable skincare line products
Arranged 40 women in their 20s to monitor 5 skincare products (cleanser, toner, emulsion, cream, mask) in the ¥500-¥1,500 price range. In addition to usage evaluations for each product, we also surveyed synergistic effects of using the full line and cost-performance satisfaction.

Use Cases
Collect evaluations by having consumers actually use pre-launch cosmetics

Client Testimonials
“We requested monitors for a new skincare product. The feedback after one week of use was very specific — comments like "morning absorption is slow" and "afternoon shine is bothersome" gave us consumer perspectives that the development team alone would never have noticed.”
“We used the service for a foundation monitor survey. Getting feedback by skin type on blendability, longevity, and color tone was very helpful. We plan to incorporate it into the next improved version.”
“We requested monitors for a pre-launch lip product. Participants wrote casual reviews in a style similar to social media posts, which also provided hints for marketing initiatives. The recruitment process was efficient.”
