I. Why Vietnam? A Market on the Rise

Discover the full potential of Vietnam’s thriving skincare market—one of the most rapidly evolving beauty landscapes in Southeast Asia. Valued at $819.92 million USD in 2024 and projected to surpass $1.03 billion USD by 2029, this market is fueled not only by strong consumer demand but also by a powerful shift toward digital convenience.

One of the key things that truly sets Vietnam apart is the country’s rapid embrace of AI-powered skincare and hyper-personalized beauty experiences. For skincare brands, Vietnam offers more than growth. It presents a rare opportunity to lead with innovation tech-driven strategy in a market ready to reward smart, adaptive beauty solutions.

II. What the eBook Reveal About Vietnamese Beauty Shoppers

1. One Country, Many Faces: Regional Skin Behavior Breakdown

Vietnam may appear to be a single market— but underneath, it holds three very different skincare landscapes. From North to Central to South, each region has its own climate, daily habits, and skincare preferences. For brands looking to win in Vietnam, understanding these regional differences is the first step to real success. Here’s a quick snapshot from the Cross-Border Beauty 2025 eBook that highlights the following insights:

• Northern Vietnam (e.g. Hanoi): Seasonal temperature extremes create dual skincare demands including hydration and barrier repair in the winter, and oil control and acne treatment in the summer. Consumers here are more conservative, cautious, and brand-trust driven.
• Central Vietnam (e.g. Da Nang): With hot winds and a fragile environment, the region’s consumers prioritize sun protection, anti-inflammatory care, and sensitive-skin routines. They are highly pragmatic and price-sensitive—making AI-generated personalized recommendations essential for conversion.
• Southern Vietnam (e.g. Ho Chi Minh City): In this trend-driven and digitally native market, acne, oil, and pigmentation are top concerns. Consumers are fast adopters of new products, prefer lightweight formulations, and spend heavily on premium skincare if it offers clear results. AI is often used to tailor product bundles or recommend routine upgrades in real time.

2. What Leading Skincare Brands Are Doing Differently

Leading skincare players like Garnier, L’Oréal Paris, and Lancôme—each representing a distinct price tier under the L’Oréal Group—are winning in Vietnam by combining tailored brand positioning with shared digital strategies. While Garnier targets young, price-sensitive consumers with natural formulas, L’Oréal Paris appeals to mid-range shoppers with science-backed solutions, and Lancôme elevates luxury skincare with advanced beauty tech. Despite their differences, all three brands succeed by:

• Prioritizing short-form video on TikTok to drive awareness and engagement
• Leveraging KOLs/KOCs to build trust and trigger peer-driven sales
• Creating omnichannel experiences that connect social, e-commerce, and offline
• Using live commerce formats like Shopee Live and TikTok Shop to fuel impulse buying

These strategies don’t just boost visibility—they directly translate to sales, with campaigns like Garnier’s hashtag challenge driving a +30% Shopee sales spike and Lancôme’s beauty-tech event achieving a perfect Sentiment Score of 1.00.

3. A Clear Picture of Vietnam’s Skincare Target Audience

While regional differences help shape what Vietnamese consumers put in their shopping carts, real marketing success also comes from understanding who they are—and what truly makes them click ‘buy’. That’s exactly what the Cross-Border Beauty 2025 eBook unlocks: a clear picture of Vietnam’s next-gen skincare target audience and how brands can speak their language.

Vietnam’s skincare consumers in 2025 are not just young, urban, and tech-savvy—they’re experience-driven, self-care enthusiasts with high expectations. What captures their attention isn’t flashy advertising, but authentic brand storytelling, transparent ingredients, and AI-powered personalization that makes them feel seen.

They scroll through TikTok, Shopee Live, and Instagram Reels for hours each day, seeking trusted voices and peer reviews before making a purchase. Beyond results, they care about sustainability, recyclable packaging, and social responsibility. That’s why brands that combine technology, transparency, and emotional relevance are the ones that truly win Vietnamese hearts in this highly competitive beauty market.

4. Common Pitfalls: Why Copy-Paste Global Strategy Doesn’t Work

Global beauty brands often struggle in Vietnam since they overlook how different the market truly is. The Cross-Border Beauty 2025 eBook hence reveals those critical differences and equips them with the strategies to stand out.

Here are four critical areas why localization is essential:

• Retail Channel Dominance: In Vietnam, beauty shopping happens where the scroll never stops—Shopee, TikTok Shop, and livestream deals rule, while brick-and-mortar still leads the game in many global markets.
• Influencer Marketing Dynamics: Forget celebrity glitz—Vietnamese shoppers trust real voices, with micro-influencers and KOCs turning livestreams into instant sellouts, unlike the brand-led, macro-driven campaigns seen elsewhere.
• Consumer Decision-Making & Trust: Trust is earned in the comments, as Vietnamese consumers base decisions on social proof and peer reviews, unlike markets that still lean on expert advice and brand reputation.
• Product Preferences & Beauty Philosophy: Vietnamese beauty is all about glow, lightness, and natural care, while Western routines often chase bold results with strong actives and a tolerance for irritation.

Success in Vietnam requires more than a global playbook—brands must localize for a digital-first, trust-driven, and glow-focused skincare culture.

5. The Role of AI in Winning Vietnamese Hearts

In Vietnam’s fast-evolving skincare market, AI thus is no longer optional—it’s a competitive edge. Leading brands are using AI not just to optimize operations, but to unlock deep localization at scale. From smart regulatory tools that cut weeks off compliance timelines to AI-driven skin diagnostics that match products with real-time data, the technology enables true personalization by region and routine. What sets top performers apart is how they put AI into action:

• Regional Demand Forecaster strategies: Tools like L’Oréal’s “Demand Sensing” program use machine learning to predict SKU sell-through by province and sales channel, helping pre-position stock in hubs like Hanoi or HCMC to avoid out-of-stock issues and preserve product quality. Read more
• Social-Listening Radar: Natural language AI scans millions of Vietnamese posts daily to detect emerging concerns and trending keywords. L’Oréal’s partnership with Artefact, for example, led to an NLP-powered platform that delivers weekly trend digests to help marketers respond to real-time demand. Read more
• AI Skin-Diagnosis Recommender: Consumers upload a selfie, and AI analyzes their skin condition in real time, factoring in local UV index and humidity to recommend the right bundle of SKUs. This helps to build trust and show a regulatory alignment through educational value, turning casual browsers into confident buyers. Read more

While these three tactics are among the most impactful, there are many other proven strategies that can benefit your brand. Explore them all on Feedforce Vietnam’s Cross-Border Beauty 2025 eBook.
