Product Information

Sharkface is a hammerhead shark who is the leader of The Sharks. He appears in the episode " Sharks vs. Pods." Hydrocolloid is clinically proven to improve the appearance of pimples overnight: It helps draw out pimple juice, improve redness, and calm inflammation. 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 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.

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. A SINGLE INGREDIENT: Hydro-Stars are made with 1 ingredient only: Hydrocolloid. Hydrocolloid is a substance borrowed from surgical dressing that's clinically proven to help flatten pimples by absorbing bacteria and fluid. 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. In a recent customer survey, 71% of Starface consumers said the brand helps them feel less stressed about having a breakout or acne.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.

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. 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. 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. 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. 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.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. 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 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. 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. 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.
