A skincare UGC script gives the creator the beats and leaves the words to them. Five formats work well: a routine, a diary, a myth-bust, a first impression and a situation test.

Each lets a real person show real use. Copy any template below and fill the brackets with what is true.

Our general [UGC script template](/templates/ugc-script-template) has the five-beat structure. These are the skincare versions.

## 1. The routine

```
0-3s   HOOK     "My [morning/night] routine for [skin type]."
3-10s  STEPS    Show each step as you do it. Say what it is for.
10-20s PRODUCT  Show where [product] fits and how it feels.
20-25s NOTE     One honest line: what you like, what to know.
25-30s CTA      "Link's below. [Offer]."
```

## 2. The 30-day diary

```
0-3s   HOOK     "I used [product] for 30 days. Here is what I noticed."
3-10s  DAY 1    What it feels and smells like.
10-18s MIDDLE   What changed or did not. Say only what you saw.
18-25s DAY 30   Your honest view, including what you did not like.
25-30s CTA      "[Offer]. Link below."
```

## 3. The myth-bust

```
0-3s   HOOK     "You do not need [common belief]."
3-12s  WHY      Explain in plain words. Show the label or product.
12-22s PRODUCT  Show a simple alternative step.
22-30s CTA      "Start here: [product]. [Offer]."
```

## 4. The first impression

```
0-3s   HOOK     "Unboxing [product]. Honest first thoughts."
3-12s  LOOK     Pack, texture, smell, how much you get.
12-22s TRY      Apply it on camera. Say how it feels.
22-30s NOTE     What I will test next. Link.
```

## 5. The situation test

```
0-3s   HOOK     "I tested this on [a humid day / a long shift / a flight]."
3-15s  TEST     Morning application. A check at midday, on camera.
15-25s RESULT   Say what you saw, good or not.
25-30s CTA      "Try it: [offer]."
```

## A filled-in example (30-day diary)

Say a creator tests a INR 549 gel moisturiser. The brief gives her the beats above. Her script might read:

- **Hook:** "I used this gel moisturiser for 30 days. Here is what I noticed."
- **Day 1:** "It feels light and a bit cool. It has a faint smell."
- **Middle:** "By week two I stopped reaching for blotting paper by lunch. Your skin may differ."
- **Day 30:** "I like it for summer. In winter I would add a richer cream."
- **CTA:** "It's INR 549, and there's INR 150 off your first order. Link below."

The notes come from her own use. Never script a result she did not see.

## Rules for skincare UGC

This is a summary of public rules, not legal advice.

1. **Say what is true.** India's 2022 misleading advertisement guidelines say an endorsement must reflect the speaker's genuine, reasonably current opinion, and must be based on adequate information about, or experience with, the product.
2. **Disclose the link.** The same guidelines say a connection between the creator and the brand, such as payment or free product, should be fully disclosed where the audience would not expect it. Put it in the video and the caption.
3. **Target adults.** Meta's Health and Wellness ad standard lists cosmetic ads as 18 and over, and bars statements of inferiority about physical appearance.
4. **No cures.** Do not let a script say a product treats a medical condition.

Both are checked on 2026-10-20: the [CCPA guidelines page](https://ccpa.doca.gov.in/guidelines.php) and [Meta's policy page](https://transparency.meta.com/policies/ad-standards/restricted-goods-services/health-wellness/).

## Tips

- Film three hooks per script and keep the rest the same. Choose from [hooks for skincare ads](/templates/hooks-for-skincare-ads).
- Send the script with a [UGC brief](/templates/ugc-brief-template). Read [how to brief UGC creators](/guides/how-to-brief-ugc-creators) for the full flow.
- Not sure about real or AI creators? See [AI UGC vs human UGC](/compare/ai-ugc-vs-human-ugc). For what the format is, see [UGC ads](/glossary/ugc-ads).

## FAQ

### How long should a skincare UGC video be?

Most run 20 to 30 seconds. Film a 15-second cut of every winner as well.

### Can I use the same script for several creators?

Yes, but give each one the beats, not the words. Their own phrasing sounds more real and avoids ten identical ads.
