2. Diverse consumer demands: Southeast Asian consumers have unique characteristics in beauty habits, skin problems, and preferences. For example, some consumers add more facial skincare steps, pursue high-quality ingredients, and focus on brightening skin tone; common skin problems include redness, desire for brighter skin, and acne troubles, and there is a preference for lightweight skincare products.
3. Opportunities for Chinese companies: Chinese skincare brands perform well in Indonesia's e-commerce sector. Brands like Breylee are welcomed by Indonesian consumers due to their focus on star ingredients, innovative marketing strategies, catering to local preferences, and reasonable prices.
