The Challenge
New product launches at Sephora require strong social proof from day one — especially in the form of text reviews and photo content that helps shoppers convert. It is estimated that adding 200+ authentic text reviews to Sephora PDPs increases conversion rate by 40%. But for emerging beauty brands, sourcing high-quality, authentic reviews at scale is often time-consuming and unpredictable.
The Solution
Katini Skin partnered with Hue to source fast, high quality text review campaigns timed with Sephora product launches. Hue activated their micro-influencer community to deliver authentic text reviews — paired with before/after photos — that reflected the lived experience of real consumers.
Katini Skin is a luxury skincare brand known for its clean, high-performance facial and body oils. The brand blends global botanical rituals with ethical, sustainable practices and has been featured at Sephora, Neiman Marcus, and Saks.
