Consumer Testing Programme
Consumer Product Testing at ELC
To be the best diversified brand-building powerhouse of unrivalled creativity and innovation and keep consumers at the heart of our business, we challenge ourselves to continuously create the world’s most beloved prestige beauty brands, products, and experiences. Across our diverse portfolio of prestige beauty brands—like Estée Lauder, Clinique, La Mer, Bobbi Brown, Aveda, and more—we combine science and creativity to create products that deliver noticeable, meaningful benefits to consumers.
We depend on consumers like you to serve as research panellists who provide invaluable feedback and insights that help shape the products you know and love!
About the Programme
Our panellists participate in highly scientific studies at our research centres that help demonstrate the performance of our skin care, makeup, and hair care products to support our ads and claims. Studies can evaluate how a skin care regime improves your skin, collect your perception of a makeup product, or assess how products improve the look and feel of your hair. Due to the scientific nature of our studies, we are seeking reliable participants that can commit to study requirements and that reflect all diversities to ensure our products serve our consumers’ needs.
