Insights, Strategy and the Idea

Insights Korean women are sensitive to skin wrinkles. Wrinkles arise due to various reasons, including aging, UV rays, and most of all, lack of moisture is the basic reason of wrinkles. However, 74% are thinking that moisture cosmetics and anti-wrinkle cosmetics are different. Strategy What If one moisture cream could replace expensive anti-wrinkle cosmetics...? Change the person’s mindset from wrinkle care starts in their 40s to wrinkle care should starts in their 20s. MIDNIGHT HYDRO INTENSE was born with a new solution for 20s wrinkle problems. By supplying enough water, wrinkle problem can be prevented. Idea Special advertisement was installed on the board of hand washing stands in stores and restrooms in universities, where targeted people are gathered. When people try to wash their face and hands, because of the special ink, water touches the ads, wrinkle disappears. After the water gets dry, the ads come back to wrinkle face.
