You know there is a problem with your face_

Australian Facial Skincare Behavioural Study

Estimated time to complete: 5 - 7 minutes

This is a continuation study from 2023, exploring how people in Australia currently experience skincare:

not only what we use, but how skincare fits into our routines, priorities, expectations, and everyday lives.

There are no right or wrong answers.

Simply choose the responses that feel most true to your current season of life.

PART I:
Your Current Skin Reality

1

What do you really feel about your facial skin?

I'm generally comfortable with my skin, but I know it can still improve.

If it can help me look credible and well-groomed, I'm willing to keep a proper skincare routine.

I'm always keen to find skincare that can help my skin become radiant without makeup.

I still feel unsure about what my skin truly needs to become clearer and healthier.

My skin affects my confidence more than I usually admit.

Any skincare product will do, as long as it's easy to keep my skin well.

Life has felt so full lately that skincare hasn't been something I've had much energy for.
