Questions to use

Start with the complete working structure, then adjust the language, timing, and incentive to fit your customers and brand.

Best used when

Your team has a specific decision or growth objective and needs a focused artifact to move from planning to launch.

1

How would you describe your skin?

single choice

Suggested answers

DryOilyCombinationSensitive or reactiveNormalNot sure

Why ask it: The most useful segment in skincare. Read every other answer through it, and check whether the people buying each product are the skin type the formula was built for.

2

Do any of these give your skin trouble?

multiple choice

Suggested answers

FragranceRetinolAcids such as AHA or BHAEssential oilsAlcoholNone of theseNot sure

Why ask it: Catches a bad match while the order is still packable, so usage guidance can go in the box. It also tells your email tool which launches to keep away from this customer.

3

Where will this sit in your routine?

single choice

Suggested answers

MorningNightBothNow and then, when my skin needs itNot sure yet

Why ask it: Routine slot predicts repurchase better than satisfaction does. A product used now and then will not empty on schedule, and its reorder email should not pretend otherwise.

4

Where did you first hear about this product?

single choice

Suggested answers

TikTokInstagramA creator's routine videoA dermatologist or estheticianA friend or family memberA review thread or forumGoogle or searchOther

Why ask it: Skincare gets researched in videos and comment threads that never register a click, so paid search takes credit for work a creator did a week earlier. Check the named accounts against your seeding list before renewing a single contract.

5

What were you using before, and what made you switch?

open text

Why ask it: Names the product you actually beat and the reason it lost, which is how you write comparison copy in customer language instead of your own. AI analysis in Surveys clusters the reasons so hundreds of answers read like one page of notes.

6

How well does the texture suit you?

rating

Why ask it: Texture, not efficacy, is the usual reason a product quietly stops being used: it pills under SPF, sits greasy, or dries tight. Rated per product, it separates the formulas that need a reformulation brief from the ones that need an application instruction.

7

Will you buy this again when it runs out?

single choice

Suggested answers

Yes, it is part of my routine nowProbably, I am still decidingOnly if there is an offer onNo, I am trying something elseI have not finished it yet

Why ask it: Asked by email as the pack should be emptying, this is a reorder trigger rather than a satisfaction score. The customers already trying something else are your churn cohort, and they are worth a real reply while they still answer email.

What you get

What this template gives you

Three specifics worth checking against your own store before you launch.

Seven questions built around skin type, routine, and reorder timing

Answer options written for how skincare is actually bought and used

Timed to the routine, from the checkout page to the empty jar

How to put it into practice

How to put it to work

Start with the focused version, publish, and let the first answers steer the next iteration.

  1. 1

    Start at checkout with skin type, sensitivity, and discovery: three questions, under ten seconds

  2. 2

    Send the routine slot and texture questions by email two weeks after delivery, once the product has been used enough to judge

  3. 3

    Schedule the repurchase question per pack size, timed to when each size should be running low

Mistakes to avoid

Protect the quality of the result

Strong execution usually comes from removing ambiguity and keeping every action tied to the original objective.

Asking about results instead of routine, which invites claims you cannot make

Reading answers as one store when skin type is the segment that matters

Collecting the sensitivity answer, then emailing everyone the same launch

Sending one reorder question 30 days after every order, whatever the size

Frequently asked questions

Practical answers before you launch

What should a skincare survey ask?

Skin type, what their skin reacts to, and where the product will sit in their routine. Those three turn a list of orders into segments you can act on. Keep them to the checkout page, then ask about texture and reorder timing by email once the product has been used.

How do I ask whether a product is working without making a claim?

Ask about use and intent rather than outcomes: where it sits in the routine, how fast it is being used, whether they plan to buy again. Those answers are more commercially useful anyway, and they keep your survey, your email, and your ads clear of claims rules.

Do I need UserLoop to run this skincare survey?

Yes, the template is free to copy into any tool. What Surveys adds is the order link: every answer sits beside the product and pack size that was bought, so skin type becomes a breakdown per formula, and AI analysis summarizes the switch-reason answers instead of leaving you with four hundred rows.
