AI UGC for skincare brands
Skincare ads that feel like a friend's routine
Skincare is bought on trust, and trust comes from people who look like the buyer. We find the skincare ads that keep running, write scripts around the patterns, and deliver edited UGC two days after the brief.
Built around skincare buyers, hooks and gifting peaks.

The problem
Where skincare ad budgets leak.
Peak dates: New year routines, summer prep, sensitive skin season, Black Friday. Creative that arrives late or looks generic costs the most in those weeks.
- 01
Everyone in the category says glow.
Feeds are full of the same serum shot and the same promise. Without a specific hook, your ad is the third one they scrolled past.
- 02
The claims rules are strict.
Platforms reject misleading before and after images and medical sounding claims. Scripts need to sell without tripping the review.
- 03
Results take weeks, ads get seconds.
Proof is slow. You need formats that show texture, routine and a believable timeline inside 20 seconds.
- 04
One face does not fit your buyers.
Dry, oily, sensitive, mature. Each segment wants to see someone with their skin, which means a lot of creators and a lot of coordination.
Formats that keep running
The skincare angles we start from.
Pulled from live competitor ads, then rewritten for your product.
Routine in order
Morning, step by step. Easy to adapt per skin type.
Ingredient myth busting
One claim people believe, one correction, one product line.
Week by week diary
A believable timeline without a retouched before and after.
Sample hooks we would test
- “Dermatologists keep telling me to do one thing before moisturiser.”
- “My skin barrier was wrecked until I stopped doing this.”
- “Eight weeks, one product. No filter, same bathroom light.”
How it works
From first call to finished videos in three days.
Briefs land one day after discovery. Edited videos land two days after the brief.
Discovery
One call. We learn the product, the buyer, the offer, and what you have already tested. Bring your best and worst ads. The worst teach us more.
Find what your competitors are running
We pull the live ads of your closest competitors and sort them by how long they have been running. Advertisers kill losers fast, so an ad that survives 60 days or more is paying for itself. We tag the hook, the format, the offer and the type of person on screen.

Write viral scripts, skip the trial and error
Patterns that repeat across winning ads become your starting point. We adapt them to your product and write several angles with a few hook variants each. You test ideas that already have proof behind them.
Hook My skin barrier was wrecked until I stopped doing this one thing.
Body Name the mistake. Show the texture of the product in the first five seconds. Describe how skin feels, not what it cures.
CTA Start with the small size. Link below.
Brief and storyboard
Every video gets a shot by shot brief: the hook, the voiceover, what is on screen, how long each beat runs. You approve the storyboard before anything is produced.
- Face close, bare skin, bathroom light0 to 2s“My barrier was wrecked and I did not know why.”
- Texture on the back of the hand2 to 7s“I swapped my cleanser for this. Look at the texture.”
- Apply, slow, no cuts7 to 14s“It sinks in fast, and my skin feels calm, not tight.”
- Bottle on the shelf, price tag14 to 20s“There is a small size to try first. Link below.”
Final videos in your brand
Edited 9:16 videos with captions, your colours and your product, cut for Reels, TikTok and Shorts. Order five or order fifty. The turnaround does not change.

Questions
Before you book.
What is AI UGC?
Videos in the style creators make: a person talking to camera, showing a product, reacting to it. We build them with AI presenters and voices, write the scripts ourselves, and edit them in-house. Nobody has to film anything.
Do I have to ship product?
Usually not. Product photos and a short clip of the product are enough for most formats. Some, like texture close-ups, work better with real footage, and we tell you which during discovery.
Will the ads get rejected on Meta or TikTok?
Platforms have rules on AI disclosure and on claims, and they change. We flag what applies to your category and platform before anything goes live. We also never invent testimonials. Scripts come from real product facts and real reviews you provide.
How many videos can I order?
Any number. Five or fifty, the clock is the same: briefs one day after discovery, edited videos two days after the brief.
What do you need from me?
A call, your product details, the competitors you watch, and any ads you have already run. Brand colours and logo help. That is the whole list.
Who is yukti.?
Yukti is an AI research company with an applied arm. AI UGC brings creative research, scripts and video production into your paid social workflow.
