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

Product Information

To celebrate the ingenuity and humor of their customers, Starface launched a billboard contest, giving people the opportunity to have their user-generated content turned into viral billboards in LA and NYC. The most popular piece of content featured was a customer Tweet that read “the Starface pimple patch stays on during sex,” which has since become a playful slogan of sorts among the Starface community. 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.

Starface aims to meet their community where they are and launched an industry-first campaign inside select DMV locations, targeted toward young adults waiting to get their license. The campaign brought a fresh and playful spirit to an environment thought of as serious or unpleasant. 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 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. Hydrocolloid is clinically proven to help absorb fluid and reduce inflammation to shrink pimples overnight. 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.Starface surpassed 1.4M followers on TikTok, accumulating over 160.7M views with 24.6M engagement. Across 1,165 videos, Starface's average engagement rate reached 15.11% with 76.8K shares. 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. FOR EVERYONE, ALWAYS: Hydro-Stars don't contain any active ingredients that are off-limits to pregnant and nursing individuals, or anything that could irritate skin. They're vegan, hypoallergenic, gentle and safe for every skin type. 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 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.

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. 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).

With an authentic and on-the-pulse approach to marketing, collaborations, and social media, Starface has built a unique and immersive universe that fosters connection and community amongst their customers. 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. Sharkface is a hammerhead shark who is the leader of The Sharks. He appears in the episode " Sharks vs. Pods."
