Digital disruption has transformed the way consumers access, process, and respond to information, creating significant changes in shopping behavior, particularly within the beauty industry, which heavily relies on trends, visual imagery, and personal trust. TikTok has successfully captured the attention of Gen Z in Indonesia as a primary interactive space for exploring lifestyle, entertainment, and product references. Through its TikTok Shop feature, the platform facilitates direct transactions from consumed content, positioning influencers as key nodes in the consumer decision-making process influencing purchase intention. However, the proliferation of promotional practices containing overclaims, especially in skincare product advertisements, has raised new concerns. The public, as end-users, often fall victim to misinformation and false expectations, which sometimes result in financial and health losses. This study addresses the urgency to critically examine the roles of influencer authenticity and brand authenticity in shaping purchase intention, with brand attitude as a mediating variable and customer involvement as a moderating variable. This research employs a quantitative method through surveys conducted with 600 Gen Z TikTok users in Indonesia. Data analysis was performed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) to comprehensively identify relationships among variables. The results indicate that both influencer authenticity and brand authenticity have a positive and significant impact on the purchase intention of Gen Z consumers of MS GLOW skincare products on the TikTok platform. Additionally, brand attitude significantly mediates these relationships, while customer involvement moderates the effects of influencer authenticity and brand authenticity on purchase intention, strengthening these influences at higher levels of consumer involvement. Through a systematic empirical approach, this study contributes significantly to the understanding of how influencer and brand authenticity shape Gen Z’s purchase intentions. It enriches digital marketing literature and offers practical implications for brands in designing communication strategies that are more authentic, credible, and aligned with the values of a digitally literate and critical young audience.
