Characterized by an expressive and self-conscious nature, Gen Z has become a unique force in driving mindful consumption. Millennials may have prioritized simplicity but Gen Z is focused on creativity and self-expression.
What are the differences in how Gen Z in North America and Europe experience skincare? How can beauty brands and retailers help them find their ideal beauty match? In this report, we share the findings from analysing proprietary engagement data of Gen Z with Revieve’s AI Skincare Advisor across 25 countries in Europe and North America between January and June 2021. These differences are fundamental for brands to avoid a one size fits all approach when catering to Gen Z.
