Starface x SpongeBob SquarePants Pimple Patches and Compact, Limited-Edition Hydrocolloid Patches, Absorb Fluid and Reduce Redness (32 Count)

Product Information

Starface was created to revolutionize the acne space and to build a future where having a pimple presents an opportunity for self-expression and positivity (instead of a reason to stay home from school or cancel a date). Whether it’s through highly anticipated, demand-driven product launches, nostalgic collaborations, or user generated content and campaigns that spark joy, Starface has fostered a new and authentic acne experience that’s rooted in optimism, inspiring a wide range of consumers (Gen Z in particular ) to reimagine their relationship with their skin. Sharkface is a hammerhead shark who is the leader of The Sharks. He appears in the episode " Sharks vs. Pods." She said this rejection of perfectionism works for a brand like Starface, which promotes the online acne positivity movement that has been embraced by Gen-Z influencers like Charli D’Amelio.

Consumers have never had more options when it comes to where they shop, what they buy, and who to listen to. If you’re not coming to them with authenticity and a meaningful perspective, then chances are your message won’t be strong enough to break through the noise. If you start with purpose, the rest will follow. Accessibility and meeting customers where they are has never been more important. As an industry, we are moving further away from the mentality that exclusivity—especially when it comes to where your products are sold—is essential to preserving brand integrity. Every brand is different, but as consumers continue to look for ways to engage online and offline, it’s important to create new methods to expand your reach. Starface came onto the scene to pioneer a new approach, one that would glamourize and celebrate pimples with a first-of-its-kind patch designed to be worn as a decorative accessory. Today, the impact of their concept is clear—it’s difficult to scroll through social media without coming across someone wearing Starface, and it’s becoming commonplace to see people (including celebrities like Justin and Hailey Bieber, Bella Hadid, Dua Lipa, and Willow Smith) wearing them in public. Keep it moving. Progress and experimentation will always come with mistakes, and that’s especially true with fast-paced start-ups. No matter how hard you try, it’s never possible to be perfect or know everything. When something doesn’t work, don’t dwell—learn from it and keep inching your way towards the goal. The “immediately recognizable” account “does a great job of referencing nostalgic characters and pop culture while still being relevant to what’s going on today,” said Kassler.Acne is the most common skin condition in America and 95% of people experience it at some point in their lives. Despite the normality and near universality of the experience, it has historically been positioned—by society and the beauty industry in particular—as an isolating and shameful experience that can only be “solved” with aggressive products that eviscerate breakouts or hide them entirely. This problem-centric approach, paired with the perfect skin that’s consistently shown in pop culture and mainstream media, greatly affects how consumers view themselves—especially young people. Studies show that having acne can cause lasting psychological distress among teenagers and make them more vulnerable to what messages they receive (directly or indirectly) from society and brands. As they talk, Sharkface then hears the telltale sounds of The Pods, The Sharks' rivals, and are about to start something when the police intervene. Sharkface comments that they'll meet The Pods at the showdown, but SpongeBob refuses to go. Sharkface warns SpongeBob to not disappoint The Sharks before driving off.

Starface receives hundreds of pieces of user-generated content every month, a testament to the brand's highly engaged community and their excitement to incorporate Hydro-Stars into their daily lives. As customers find their way to emerging platforms, Starface continues to be one of the first brands to experiment with new apps before they’re proven. For their first launch activation on the BeReal app, Starface leaked early access to the relaunch of their Hello Kitty collaboration, gaining over 1K followers in 24 hours. Starface’s mission has proven to be incredibly resonant across a wide range of audiences and inspired a totally new set of behaviors when it comes to acne care. The brand regularly hears from its community members that they’re actually looking forward to their next breakout, and are even wearing Starface when they don’t have a pimple out of pure excitement to be part of the experience. Starface customers are also extremely comfortable and proud to wear their Hydro-Stars in public and frequently share anecdotes about making new friends and connections through Starface. Starface also sees immense customer loyalty, with its repeat customer rate surpassing 55% on launch days.Ingredients: 100% Hydrocolloid. Hydrocolloid is a moisture-retentive, compounded mixture of natural polymer particles. Hydrocolloid is clinically proven to improve the appearance of pimples overnight: It helps draw out pimple juice, improve redness, and calm inflammation.

Reportedly created by a 20-year-old Norwegian college student named Matthew (who did not respond to a request for an interview), Afffirmations is catching on beyond Gen-Z social media stars. Celebrity followers of the account include Barbie Ferreira, Ella Emhoff and Dixie D’Amelio, as well as millennials like Tessa Thompson.

In a recent customer survey, 71% of Starface consumers said the brand helps them feel less stressed about having a breakout or acne.Taking cues from the streetwear and sneaker worlds, Starface has become one of the first and only brands to bring "drop culture" to the skincare category—as a result, many of the brand’s limited-edition launches garner significant waitlists and sell out within days. He is voiced by Henry Winkler, who is best known for his work in the sitcom Happy Days as Fonzie, whom Sharkface is similar to. Starface is revolutionizing the acne care industry with first-of-its-kind decorative pimple patches and innovative products that transform breakouts—an experience historically thought of as negative and isolating—into moments of confidence, self-expression, and connection. Following many customer requests, Starface will release its first-ever microdart patch in January—a new technology that combines powerful, efficacious ingredients with Starface’s signature, playful branding. The following month, Starface will drop the next iteration of its customer favorite Hydro-Heart patches (a limited edition offering that sold out in just five days when it was released in 2022).
