general trend of cosmetic stores and beauty salons is to return to nature Cosmetic companies are actively building for themselves safe and quality brands, especially taking advantage of beauty ingredients available in nature such as: essential oils, fruits, coffee, tea green, To produce a variety of quality beauty cosmetics In recent days, in Ho Chi Minh City and neighboring provinces and cities, the UV index has continuously reached the red alert threshold According to the World Health Organization (WHO), the current ultraviolet (UV) index of has begun to cause harm and too long exposure to UV rays will cause damage and most seriously lead to skin cancer That siren is gradually waking up women to cherish and take care of their skin more carefully during this period and even later because the skin determines confidence in work and life Recognizing the current situation, our team believes that the decision to choose the topic of developing and launching the LOV skin anti-aging product line is completely reasonable because of the potential market that the product brings That's why we chose this as the topic of our essay CHAPTER 2: EXECUTIVE SUMMARY L'Oréal Cosmetics Group was founded in 1909, its headquarters are located at the Eugène Schueller Centre in Clichy, Hauts-de-Seine, near Paris After more than 100 years of establishment and development, up to now, L'Oréal has become one of the "tycoons" controlling and dominating the world beauty industry The Group does business in more than 130 countries and employs more than 88,000 people worldwide

sold L'Oréal's facial care products have undergone multiple trials before being officially launched and recommended by more than 90,000 dermatologists around the world These are relative numbers for a cosmetic pharmaceutical brand With the development of online commerce platforms as well as the growing awareness of consumers about facial care, the above numbers promise to increase in the future We will start a new L'Oréal project using this report "LOV" will be the name of the new product It is an integrated anti-aging lotion from green tea and caffeine and nutrients with the effect of nourishing the skin safely and effectively, freezing aging, forever youthful At the same time, with that use, the birth of the product is also meaningful associated with the purpose of raising charity funds for the community of people with skin cancer with the hope of bringing healthy young skin in the beauty community in general and Vietnam in particular Campaign activities: • Cooperate with KOLs, celebrities to receive products and use and post photos and videos of the results before and after using the product, thereby highlighting the skin rejuvenation and skin care benefits of the product • Applying the campaign after 24 hours, each review photo when using the product will be donated 40,000 VND to the skin cancer charity Mission : “LOV” wants to bring to women and men around the globe highly effective products suitable for all skin types including the most sensitive to improve the quality of life of anyone with skin problems, from from acne to aging, and help spread the word about safe sun protection through high-quality products and raise consumer awareness about skin cancer Purpose : Bringing "LOV" a new line of skin care cosmetics to customers easily and at the same time improving brand recognition when it comes to skin rejuvenation with the message "Aging is a fact of life, let LOV" preserve your youth” Make “LOV” the number one choice for everyone from young people to middle-aged ladies CHAPTER 3: SITUATION ANALYSIS 3.1 Market Summary 3.1.1 Analysis of skincare industry in Vietnam Industry revenue and growth Vietnam's skin care product market size reached 854.3 million USD in 2019 and is expected to reach 1,922.4 million USD in 2027 Skincare products market can increase revenue by 1,154.25 million USD from 2020 to 2027 (Kale & Deshmukh, 2020) Increasing disposable income and a growing young population are the main factors driving the product market In which, the most potential customer segment in the future is Generation Z, accounting for 39.08% of the total population Overall, these factors have increased the demand for skin care products by domestic consumers 3.1.2 Industry trends The cosmetics and skincare industry has been growing rapidly along with the rapid improvement of living standards in Vietnam Consumer tastes and preferences with increasing disposable income raise the level of sophistication towards premium skin care products Luxury brands become more attractive while mass leather products decline 3.2 Macro – environment Demographics Vietnam has more than 93 million people in the group of young people (average age is 32.5 years old), the young population accounts for 65% People's lives are stable and the demand for beauty increases, especially from men Consumers have more product choices Once a brand has captured the minds of users, their destination is trust And L'Oréal is one of the brands that does this very well Economy Per capita income has increased over the years, contributing to the growth of Vietnam's economy The year 2021 is considered a difficult and challenging year for the world economy, including Vietnam However, Vietnam's economy still maintains its growth rate with GDP growth rate estimated at 2.91% And the US cosmetics market share in Vietnam accounts for 10% Year Average income 2019 3.425 USD / Year 2020 3.526 USD / Year 2021 3.694 USD / Year 2022 4.110 USD / Year Table 1: Vietnam’s per capita income from 2019-2022 Politics Advantages: The business of skin care products tends to increase, in Vietnam there is a stable government, providing a stable and friendly business environment, creating favorable conditions for enterprises to produce and trade in cosmetics products Difficulties: However, the tax policy is still complicated, creating difficulties for imported products, thereby directly affecting L'Oréal's profits Culture Nowadays, people don't want to go to the skin care salon but want the products so that they can organize their own skin care at home and our company is providing such products to the consumers In general, Vietnamese people have the mentality of buying foreign goods not only because of the quality and design, but also because of the brand reputation of foreign enterprises, and at the same time, Vietnamese goods have not yet created trust among consumers for many reasons In the minds of the 9x and 10x generations, Vietnamese cosmetics are images of poorly advertised mixed creams, cosmetics of unknown origin widely sold on the market This will be a great advantage for L'Oréal Group in general and LOV products in particular, because the product is manufactured with modern technology and natural ingredients are completely imported from abroad and circulated in Vietnam Vietnam should ensure safety and meet the needs and psychology of customers Nature Advantages: Vietnamese consumers are more interested in products with natural ingredients L'Oréal has created a friendly environment and activities that positively impact the environment Difficulties: Vietnam's climate is hot and humid, with monsoon frequent natural disasters This greatly affects the preservation and transportation of L'Oréal's products On the other hand, air pollution in Vietnam is quite serious and working outdoors or in front of a computer for a long time, ultraviolet rays and computer radiation are very harmful to the skin Therefore, skin care to protect the skin is extremely important Technology The advanced and modern cosmetic production line element will be an important basis to help cosmetic manufacturing and processing units get the best quality products, bringing high efficiency to consumers L'Oréal offers virtual try-on's of the company's products before consumers actually pay We also offer tailored solutions for individuals interested in in-depth diagnosis of skin problems 3.3 SWOT Table 2: Matrix SWOT SWOT O - Opportunities T - Threats L'Oréal O1 - Large consumer market T1 - Compete with many O2 - The demand for skincare products opponents is increasing T2 - Diverse customer needs O3 – Environmental pollution, T3 - Modern technology plays a ultraviolet rays, computer radiation decisive role and requires high push people to make more efforts in capital taking care of their skin T4 - Consumers today have a O4 - The cosmetics industry is on the high level of understanding and rise consideration when buying the skin smooth, elastic and gradually improves and rejuvenates after a period of using the product Positioning strategy At the forefront of being a trendy product, aka the best anti-aging skin cream on the market Show customers better functionality at a price that's right for a modern society where glowing, healthy and radiant skin at any age is paramount Targeting the First Segment Segment size: 16-30 years old, this is the segment with strong growth and the largest number of customers using anti-aging creams because of the increasing demand for skin care and beauty Segment structure attractiveness: Competitors: Affects the brand's popularity and trust, or the number of best-selling products, as L'Oréal has occupied one of the leading positions in the Vietnamese cosmetic market.Buyer power: products at average prices, can also buy Power of supplier: L'Oréal's manufacturer is not located in Vietnam, so all products are imported from other countries L'Oréal always has enough stock, but when the market suddenly changes, it can't meet the needs of customers immediately 4.4.Positioning 17 Figure 6: Positioning map On the market today, there are many skin care brands such as Innisfree, Eucerin, Laneige, Vichy, Pond's, Shiseido, Olay, Estee lauder, After we consulted the prices and quality of the above brands , can position L'Oréal relative to other brands as shown below We will price L'Oréal products at low prices compared to: Shiseido, Estee Lauder, and above: Eucerin, Olay, L'Oréal offers a suitable mid-high pricing strategy with the target segment Customers will benefit from using a cream with high quality natural ingredients suitable for sensitive skin, while other brands have similar quality products but are picky about skin type and price higher Thereby L'Oréal can gain competitive advantage through trust and value brought to customers 4.5.Strategies 4.5.1 Product Strategy For the marketing strategy on products of “LOV”, L'Oréal has attracted customers with product quality as well as product brand L'Oréal uses state-of-the-art technology to produce high-quality products, scrutinizing the world's leading advanced

represents the vitality and dynamism of youth, highlighting the skin rejuvenation properties of the product Figure 8: Packaging of “LOV” Brand: Building the trust of customers with the LOV anti-aging cream product line is largely thanks to the brand's reputation, the product packaging is prominently mentioned with the L'Oréal brand name to help attract customers to look for new products to the product Provide full information about ingredients, usage instructions, expiry dates for users to be able to understand their own products Product support services Fresh customers’s service Employees

extremely urgent and important Therefore, the birth of the product is like an arrow that hits two goals, both satisfying the tastes of customers with the use of skin care in the present time, and

image of professionalism, dedication and increasingly gaining trust and prestige in the hearts of customers Besides the achievements, effectiveness and positive points that the new product line brings, there are still limitations that need to be overcome Typically, in terms of volume, the product has not yet met a group of customers with diverse needs in choosing, or in terms of use, the product strongly focuses on anti-aging effects, so in terms of uses Others are still limited In terms of investment capital, due to quality assurance, the production of products is entirely by modern foreign technology with high cost, but it is from that weakness that confirms the product's own strengths in terms of product quality Quality ensures customer needs, can be called turning weaknesses
