Sharkface is a hammerhead shark who is the leader of The Sharks. He appears in the episode " Sharks vs. Pods." Starface has continued to create exciting ways for their customers to participate in the brand, including through viral collaborations with Sesame Street, SpongeBob SquarePants, and Hello Kitty. Each of these playful, nostalgic initiatives has been met with excitement from customers eager to add limited-edition items to their Starface “wardrobes.” Accessibility and meeting customers where they are has never been more important.

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.

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.
