Our Difference
At SYRES, volunteer recruitment is not a simple administrative process. It's a science of matching, between your protocol and the ideal profile, between your inclusion criteria and our enriched database.

Databases
Our databases incorporate more than 400 data points per volunteer, offering unparalleled accuracy in targeting the profiles best suited to each study protocol.
Ethnic origin, phototype (Fitzpatrick scale), socio-professional categories, age group, geographical location and family profile.
Skin type, hair type, skin sensitivity levels according to ARPP nomenclature, types of imperfections and areas of interest.
Cosmetic routines and daily hygiene, frequency and channels of purchase, brands and product references used, monthly beauty budget.
Specific skin problems (acne, rosacea, eczema, hyperpigmentation…), expectations in terms of cosmetic performance, and dermatological needs.
In-depth understanding of purchasing behaviors and consumer preferences: sensitivity to trends, ethical commitments, influence profile.
Precise visual references of each volunteer (skin, hair, test areas) facilitate targeted recruitment and reduce selection times.
All our data is collected with the informed consent of the volunteers, in accordance with the GDPR and applicable regulations. Sensitivity levels are defined according to the ARPP classification, ensuring rigorous and defensible recruitment practices.
Dedicated panels
Each protocol is unique. Our dedicated panels adapt to your most specific inclusion criteria — demographic, dermatological or behavioral.
Gain access to an ethnic diversity representative of your product's target markets. Our databases cover all phototypes (I to VI) with fine granularity on geographic origin and associated skin characteristics.
Specific protocols for evaluating pediatric or family products. Minor volunteers included with parental consent, accompanied by their rigorous legal framework and appropriate medical monitoring.

Protocols adapted to the real-life conditions of athletes. Test your products under extreme conditions of use — perspiration, friction, prolonged exposure.

Adapted protocols for evaluating products intended for pets. Dogs and cats are included through their volunteer owners, according to rigorous inclusion criteria (breed, age, coat type, skin sensitivity) and appropriate veterinary monitoring.

Do you have very specific inclusion criteria? Our teams co-create with you a tailor-made panel: targeted skin pathologies, particular sensitivity profiles, specific usage habits, or combinations of complex criteria.

We are recruiting profiles for your consumer tests, hedonic evaluations and sensory studies: perception of texture, fragrance, perceived effectiveness, and user experience.
