Challenges
- Highly Saturated Market:
The skincare and beauty industry is crowded with both established brands and emerging indie brands, making it difficult to stand out and attract new customers.
- Building Trust and Credibility:
Consumers are cautious about trying new skincare products, as they are concerned about product efficacy, skin sensitivity, and safety.
- High Customer Acquisition Costs:
Due to the competitive nature of the market, the cost per click (CPC) and cost per acquisition (CPA) tend to be higher compared to other industries.
- Educating the Audience:
Unlike fashion, skincare products require education about ingredients, benefits, and correct usage to encourage purchases, which can make the conversion process longer.
- Highly Saturated Market:

“I had tried running ads before, but nothing clicked. Zohaib understood my brand’s vision and turned it into a strategy that delivered real results. The educational content, stunning creatives, and precise targeting made all the difference. I went from struggling to make a sale to having a steady stream of new customers. I couldn’t be happier!”
