What You Need to Know Before Becoming a Skincare Product Tester

In 2022, consumers look for brands that value sustainability, clean ingredients, and honesty—making it more important than ever for brands to be forthright about the products they’re releasing to the market. As a beauty and skincare product tester, you can help brands increase their credibility with their consumers.

What is Skincare Product Testing?

Think back to all the products you use in your makeup and skincare routine. Do any of these products have claims, such as removing the appearance of wrinkles, long-lasting, or other proof of effectiveness? Brands that want to make these claims enlist the help of third-party labs to test their products for safety, efficacy, and marketing claims support. At Essex Testing, we recruit and compensate our panelists for taking part in these tests to ensure the products are ready for market.

What Essex Testing Looks for When Conducting a Skincare Product Test

At Essex Testing, we offer various methodologies to support skincare marketing claims. When testing with us, our highly trained staff will use only the most current and sophisticated imaging systems and instrumentation to capture data. Potential claim categories include:

• Anti-Aging

Are There Special Requirements to Be a Skincare Product Tester?

With so many different products on the market, we are always looking for panelists of all skin types. Whether your skin is dry, oily, aged, acne-prone, or any other combination—it’s valuable to cosmetic testing. At our testing facility, we accept panelists of all skin types, skin tones, genders, and ages above 18. We need some more men in our database, so can we add a bit extra on genders and inclusion.
