How TikTok Turned Starface’s Pimple Patches Into a Beauty Obsession

- Preteen girls are increasingly using anti-aging products seen on social media, leading to severe skin reactions and long-term damage. - Dermatologists report a rise in young patients with rashes, burns, and allergic reactions from products not meant for children's sensitive skin. - The trend is fueled by influencers and viral hashtags like #SephoraKids, pushing girls to adopt elaborate skincare routines. - Experts warn that the obsession with beauty standards promoted online can harm girls' self-esteem, body image, and mental health. - Calls for industry accountability and legislative action are growing, with some advocating for stricter regulations on marketing and sales of these products to minors.

I am almost convinced that chasing excellence in terms of products and deliverables is just not what makes you stay in the market. None of the people in my circle are finding mamaearth products good enough, but look at the size of the company. What we are missing out??

24M Clean & Clear face wash (orange bottle) Ponds light moisturizer (blueish green dabba) Plum green tea exfoliating peel with AHA, PHA & BHA (small dark green bottle) Aqualogica radiance dewy sunscreen (pink tube) Dot & Key cica calming skin clarifying toner (light green bottle)

Have you seen the before and after people got money, celebrities and others too. Money does get you a lot. better skin, groomed, polished look But how? Facials, procedures aren’t the trick (because tried all) What is it?

Do mention products you use. How are the “minimalist” products?

Hi, I resigned from my job to do startup. I have no good Idea now. Anyone have any idea that you really believe will work but you don't have time , energy or motivation to work on. Can you share it if I also believe in that idea i will work on that. If the idea do well or I get funding. You can join me as Co-founder and we will make it big.

Just saw that a share chat competitor eloelo did some live with a guy Puneet superstar. It did quite a breakout on social media platforms. Do things like these make the rounds in parallel companies as well?

I believe men are becoming increasingly conscious of their appearance and it’s quite evident on GV as well. Working out, getting in shape is only L1 problem, personal care goes beyond working out. But there are two problems when men want to start personal care (skin,hair, body) 1. Lack of knowledge. Where to start? How to start? Which products to use? What is Vitamin C? WTF is a hyaluronic acid? 2. If #1 is sorted, then the second problem is laziness. I spoke to 220+ men and 70% spend only spend or want to spend 10-20 mins/day on personal care. I plan to solve this by, 1. Content. Becoming an education first brand. Best example is Ditto Insurance, they’re more of an advisor than a Insurance selling company. A good example in D2C space is The Whole Truth. I want to educate men about personal care. I want to build a brand that men turn to when starting their personal care journey. 2. Innovative products & Functionality. Men would benefit a lot from serum but they don’t use it primarily because the hassle of using a dropper, rubbing it on your face is too much. We’ll innovate how these products are made. Easy to use. I’ve dropped a full-time job offer to build this right out of college. Borrowed 10L from F&F. Registered the company and on-boarded a few kickass people to create content. Hope all goes well. I’ll keep sharing the progress here :)
