Skincare: The Search for Beauty
Skincare Consumer Search Insights
Skincare searches, uncovered
83% of beauty consumers purchase skincare products after searching online. Unlike casual scrollers, searchers are already actively engaged—and they’re not just turning to Google. Skincare search is thriving across TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, AI, and beyond.
We surveyed 1,300 UK beauty consumers to uncover how skincare search habits are evolving. This report breaks down where and how shoppers aged 18 to 55+ search for skincare content—and what it means for brands.
