Renude mirrors the intelligence and refinement our customers expect from Rodial. The technology understands the science behind our formulas and the advanced actives that define them, allowing our customers to receive guidance that aligns with the standard of expertise they associate with our brand.
The Challenge
A previous provider that felt “harsh,” “generic,” and low-performing
Before Renude, Rodial was using a routine-finding tool from a large, established technology provider. Despite the provider’s reputation, the results didn’t align with Rodial’s expectations - or with their customers.
Customers reported that the prior experience felt:
Generic, with little understanding of Rodial’s brand or formulas- Lacking in personalisation and interactivity, with no way for questions to be answered
Ultimately, Rodial ended the contract and removed the tool entirely.
As a luxury brand with a loyal, discerning audience, Rodial needed a skin analysis and routine advisor that truly represented:
- their formulation expertise,
- their premium positioning,
- and the Rodial Woman: confident, sleek, informed, and empowered.
Why Rodial Chose Renude
In 2025, Rodial attended the Renude press launch. They were immediately drawn to:
- Renude’s skincare-specialised intelligence. Built on dermatology, formulation science and ingredient logic—not generalised AI.
- The depth, nuance and accuracy of recommendations. Able to understand actives, concentrations, layering rules and product interactions with precision.
- A premium, brand-adaptable communication style. Renude could be trained to speak in the tone of the Rodial Woman—polished, confident, elevated.
The Solution
A digital skin advisor built for a luxury audience. Renude created a fully brand-aligned Rodial Skin Advisor, designed to:
- Provide premium, high-touch guidance
- Reflect Rodial’s sophisticated tone of voice

The experience fit seamlessly with Rodial’s aesthetic—minimal, sleek, confident—while empowering shoppers with credible, expert-level advice.
Customer Experience Transformation
Rodial quickly began receiving standout feedback like:
“It felt like a dermatologist in my pocket – the AI got it exactly right.”
These reactions underlined exactly what the brand had hoped to achieve:
- A thoughtful, empathetic advisor
