Abstract

This study examines the influence of Brand Ambassador, Brand Image, and Online Customer Review on Purchase Intention toward Azarine Sunscreen in DKI Jakarta. Using a quantitative causal design, data were collected from 235 Generation Z respondents through questionnaires and analyzed with Partial Least Square Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) using SmartPLS 4. The results show that Brand Ambassador, Brand Image, and Online Customer Review each have a positive and significant effect on Purchase Intention, with path coefficients of 0.383, 0.338, and 0.357, respectively. The three variables jointly explain 65.3% of the variance in Purchase Intention, confirming their central role in shaping consumer purchase intention toward local skincare brands
