Consumer Perception
What does the consumer want?
• Super effective natural ingredients?
• Technological advances?
• A product with multiple benefits?
• Affordable?
Or perhaps consumers want to positively embrace ageing?
Cultural Differences
How does culture impact ageing?
• Exposure to the sun
• Average temperature differences
• Build of people
• Affluence
• Pollution levels
• Varying diets
• Occupation
• Social pressure

New Market – Anti-Pollution
Physiological Differences
• 4 main signs of skin ageing
– Wrinkles / Texture
– Lack of Firmness
– Vascular Disorders
– Pigmentation Difference / En-even Tone
• All signs occur independent of ethnicity,
but at different rates

Physiological Differences
• Aged skin appears different – Caucasian – wrinkles / loss of elasticity
– Asian - dark spots / uneven skin tone
• Why is there a difference?
– Asian skin vs Caucasian skin • Thicker and more compact Dermis
• More stratum corneum layers and higher lipid content – Reduced incidence of wrinkles
Physiological Differences
• Sun (UV) exposure affects the skin physiology
– Most important external factor in skin ageing
– Coloured skin is less susceptible to UV-induced
damage
• A study of age-matched Chinese and Caucasian
Women with no difference in lifetime sun exposure
– Wrinkle onset delayed by ~10 years
– Pigmented spot intensity more prevalent
