The latest report uncovers key global insights into Gen Z’s beauty shopping preferences and skincare habits in the digital-first world. LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM, March 12, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Revieve, a global leader in AI-powered beauty and wellness technology, has unveiled its latest report, The Gen Z Effect: What Beauty Brands Need to Know to Win Their Loyalty. The findings reveal how this digitally savvy generation—responsible for 35% of total website traffic and driving an 85% engagement rate—is rewriting the rules of skincare.

With their demand for hyper-personalization, clean beauty, and immersive experiences, brands that fail to engage Gen Z risk becoming irrelevant.

Additionally, Gen Z shoppers have a 40% higher purchase and add-to-cart rate than other demographics, making them a key revenue driver for beauty brands.

“Gen Z isn’t just buying skincare – they’re setting new industry standards,” says Sampo Parkkinen, CEO at Revieve. “They expect brands to speak their language, integrate tech-driven experiences, and align with their values of sustainability and inclusivity.”
