More about this formula

What the pictures show: Direct side-by-side or split images showing a clear ‘before’ and ‘after’ to promise visible, immediate results.
On the networks: These are running on the networks right now, so a before/after in the same form is fair game. Keep it honest and no more extreme than the ones already running.

More about this formula
One thing to test: Show the same kind of close-up for the problem your product solves, at the same strength as the ads already running.
What the pictures show: Tight crops that highlight the target issue (wrinkles, crepey skin, age spots, thinning hair) so the viewer immediately recognizes the problem the product addresses.
On the networks: Close-ups like these are running right now, so the same kind of shot is fair game. Keep it no more graphic than the ones already running: nothing gory, nothing sexual.

Week over week
The week of October 5, 2026 is the first week in our research for beauty and anti-aging, so there is no earlier week to compare it with. Each new week is compared with the one before: winning formulas that are new, still running and dropped off.
Using an older week
A winning formula that kept running for several weeks is stronger evidence than one that showed up once. Check whether it is still running on the latest beauty and anti-aging page before you build on it, or see the winning formulas that kept winning the longest. Make your own version for your product, never another advertiser’s pictures, names or claims.
