This study aims to determine the influence of Prior Experience, Variety Seeking, and Product Knowledge on Brand Switching. The population in this study is Wardah consumers in Lamongan. This research uses quantitative research methods. Using purposive sampling and the Slovin formula, the sample size was determined to be 94 respondents. The results of the study show that the variety seeking variable for brand switching has a negative and significant effect. Meanwhile, Prior Experience and Product Knowledge on Brand Switching have a positive and significant effect.

This research contributes to the understanding of consumer decision-making in the beauty sector, highlighting the complex role of experience, knowledge, and the search for variety in shaping brand preferences.
