Lancôme DreamTone makes every type of skin more beautiful by removing dark spots and evening out skin tone. For the launch of the skin perfecting serum, Lancôme wanted to spread awareness and build an emotional connection on social media. The challenge was that skincare, unlike makeup, is a private topic for many women, and the beauty industry is rife with “dare to bare” products.

To help women feel proud of their skin even without makeup, we challenged users to share photos of their makeup-free faces using #bareselfie on Instagram. We also recruited bloggers to share their #bareselfies after trying DreamTone. The campaign went viral and was mentioned as an Instagram Top Moment of 2013. Over 500 women showed the world how empowering it is to bare beautiful skin.
