Kleenex just launched a functional tissue with Niacinamide & Japanese Hokkaido Milk
Proving that no category is safe from a functional overhaul – the brand’s biggest product innovation in 30 years – here’s why I love it…
- The packaging design and format is perfect – a canister for dressers & home, on the go pack for out and about
- The NPD has come from already validated ways consumers use their existing range – blotting moisture, in skincare routines – it capitalises on this and simply makes it a more fine tuned experience
- Occasion & category shift – from “I need tissues I’m ill” – to “this is part of my skincare routine”
- The brand visibility of beauty products vs a box of tissues is just genius
