affordable.
According to the National Institutes of Health, 80 percent of people aged 11-30 are more likely
to have acne breakouts. Therefore, teenagers and young adults are going to be affected the most
by this ad. Although acne is the most common skin concern, there are many other conditions that
people seek to treat through quality skincare products. For example, some skin conditions The
Ordinary products can help treat are eczema, dermatitis, and rosacea.
Skincare products can be expensive, especially if someone is trying to maintain skin conditions
or achieve a certain look. That is why this advertisement will appeal to teens and young adults
who are looking for good quality products under $20.
The Ordinary products can only be found online which means that those who are familiar with
social media and all other outlets will be most likely to purchase a product. This target audience
relies on social media for entertainment and learning of current events. For example, this
audience mostly uses platforms like Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, TikTok, Youtube and
Pinterest. According to Pew Research, 69 percent of US adults use Facebook and 35 percent of
US teenagers rate Instagram as their favorite social networking site. Additionally, 75 percent of
18-24-year old’s use Instagram.
Members of this target audience are purchasing products with the intent to improve their skin
overall. This target audience probably has previous experience with skincare products and knows

skin is different and what works for others might not work for them.
