The Challenge

Skin cancer is the most common form of cancer in the United States, yet 90% of people do not wear sunscreen daily.

Dermatologists have a hard time convincing patients to wear sunscreen regularly. Fear-mongering does not drive action, but rather has the opposite effect, causing consumers to tune out the sunscreen message. Instead, research uncovers that sunscreen’s anti-aging powers are the most impactful motivator for daily sunscreen use!

Our Strategy
Play into the vanity motivator and educate in a optimistic way. Use dermatologists and influencers to demonstrate that sunscreen is the hero of the skincare regimen—the least expensive, most effective anti-aging products around.

EltaMD has created a line up of formulas that give everybody under the sun a beautiful choice when it comes to keeping skin protected and looking youthful.
