Q1：What is the application of skin model in cosmetic efficacy evaluation? What are the pros and cons of current skin mods? What are your expectations and suggestions for its future development?
Q2：What do you think of the future development trend of such functional cosmetics such as moisturizing cosmetics, whitening cosmetics, anti-aging skin care products, etc.?
Q3： What do you think is the biggest connection between cosmetics and the field of dermatology?
Q4： Do you think the development of cosmetics in recent years has given impetus to the field of dermatology?
It might be generative to add a question or two about access (user costs – who can afford what), target audiences (gender, race/skin color/applications), and commercialism (the relationship between “trends” and economics).
Hi Xinran, those are super interesting questions! I’m also wondering how would you structure the interview. Does the order of the questions matter? How would you warm up the conversation? As a general advice, I would recommend asking some context/intro questions at the beginning like “What’s your daily interactions with cosmetics?” “Tell me a bit about your focus area.” to just get the conversation rolling. You can also remind the interviewee that there’s no right or wrong answer to get them more relaxed to talk. Good luck!
