The POLA Research Institute of Beauty & Culture was established in 1976 to engage in research into beauty and, in particular, multifaceted investigations into “cosmetic culture” through the lenses of humanities and the social sciences. The Institute makes the reports of such research publicly available through the POLA Cosmetic Culture Information Center and its website. This survey includes detailed question items on how and why women living in the Greater Tokyo Area purchase skincare products, their usage, the effects they actually feel after use, and costs versus benefits, among others. |
