This study investigates the impact of electronic word-of-mouth (eWOM) on consumer behavior in the skincare market, and uses variables such as eWOM, key opinion
leaders, brand awareness, and the EKB consumer behavior model to determine whether
they have an influence on consumer purchase intention. We collected a total of 474 valid
samples through convenience sampling. Regression analysis revealed that eWOM, key
opinion leader, and skincare brand awareness positively impact consumer purchase
intention and the process of consumers' purchasing behavior will also affect their
purchasing intentions. Based on the results of this study, we can make three
recommendations: (1) Skincare companies should make good use of online marketing to
enhance brand and expand their consumer market; (2) they also should conduct market
research to understand consumer purchasing motivations and behavior to develop
marketing strategies meeting consumer needs and preferences; (3) Business owners need
to use different marketing strategies for different age groups and offer them more precise product options.
