Frequently Asked Questions

Practical considerations when planning ads for this creative category.

How do ad platforms regulate before-and-after images?

Meta and Google enforce strict policies against deceptive or exaggerated bodily transformations. Always include realistic lighting, avoid misleading retouching, and disclose test conditions or consumer trial caveats.

Can non-skincare brands use a before-and-after structure?

Yes. Poppi effectively uses an 'Old Me vs New Me' framework for beverages, contrasting daily habits and consumer state rather than anatomical changes.
