HOW STARFACE MADE PIMPLE PATCHES COOL

Summary from the TLDR Marketing newsletter

Skincare spent decades built around the idea that a good product should be invisible. Starface inverted that by making a pimple patch impossible to miss, then expanded through Target, Walmart, Sephora, and Ulta specifically because its bright yellow stars stand out against a retail aisle of clinical whites and pastels. That same bet is now showing up industry-wide, with LED light masks and other visible skincare wearables replacing creams that disappear on the skin.
