For those who do decide to participate in sampling items from PINCHme, there are ten considerations to keep in mind. Whether newly introducing a product or taking an extended test drive, this list will help ensure members get the most out of their experience with PinchMe.
#1: Calculate How Many samples You Need
Before filling out the Member Profile form, it’s important to first calculate the number of samples needed to get an accurate read on the effectiveness of the product. Start by evaluating the type of product and the size of the sample. Skincare products, for example, require smaller quantities than a laundry detergent which means one sample might last longer. The Member Profile will automatically recommend the number and size of samples based on the responses about the household.
#2: Consider Your Environment
When trying new products, environmental factors should be taken into account. For example, skin care products work differently depending on climate. Sunscreens, moisturizers, and facial scrubs might work differently in summer and winter due to humidity and weather changes. If the product was sampled in the winter and found to be effective but fails in the summer, this could be a result of the environment rather than an inaccurate product assessment.
#3: Monitor Twice Daily
When trying new samples, consider using the products twice a day; once in the morning and once at night. This helps to weigh the effects and successes or failures more accurately. Even subtle changes in skin tone or acne can be monitored when measuring results of the twice daily use of the product.
#4: Track Other Changes
Alongside sampling the products, track any other changes such as dietary and lifestyle habits. Minor changes in diet and exercise can have an enormous effect on the effectiveness of the skincare product. Any major changes should be noted as it could explain differences in perceived results.
#5: Cleanse First
Before testing any new skincare products, PinchMe members should ensure their skin is clean. When testing facial cleansers, perform a double-cleanse. This means that the product is applied, gently massaged into the skin, and then removed with lukewarm water.
#6: Follow Instructions to the Letter
Make sure to follow the instructions for using the sample product closely. If the product is labeled as a global review, then ensure the entire face is cleansed, rather than just targeted areas. Whether using creams, serums, or toners, follow the instructions as to when they should be used in the morning and evening and once the product has been applied.
#7: Consult with a Dermatologist
If there are any questions or concerns about reactions on the skin, PinchMe members should consult with a dermatologist immediately. It’s important to rule out current skin conditions, product allergies, and any other skin reactions that could be causing a problem.
#8: Take Notes
To ensure member stay organized, it’s imperative to evaluate and document previous samples. Whether recording the texture, color, texture, or consistency of each product, PinchMe members should take notes of everything they experience while using the sample to get the most accurate and detailed report.
#9: Reference ingredients
PinchMe members should always refer to the ingredients list for each sample product. Paying attention to the composition can help detect allergies and determine the true benefits for their skin.
#10: Read Reviews
In addition to documentation, reading reviews can provide more insight on products and their effects. Other PinchMe members might be able to give further advice and warn of any unexpected outcomes.
