If you’ve got a teen in the house, you’ll know that spots can feel like the end of the world one minute and a total non-issue the next. Enter Starface: the colourful, confidence-boosting skincare brand that has turned the humble pimple patch into the coolest accessory on the bathroom shelf. Think bright stars, bold colours, Snoopy, and a whole lot of joy – and you’ve basically nailed the vibe.
This Christmas, Starface is making skincare fun, festive, and confidence-boosting all at once. Their cult Hydro-Star pimple patches – the cheerful little stars that help calm breakouts — are already Insta-famous. But now they’re shining even brighter with the launch of the Starface x Peanuts collection, bringing Snoopy’s timeless charm to teen skincare routines across the country.
The collaboration features three reusable collectable compacts (£12.99), each packed with 32 of their bestselling Hydro-Stars, along with handy refills (£9.99). Picture Snoopy in a cosy puffer coat, Snoopy being expressive, Snoopy being… well, Snoopy – there’s truly a patch for every mood. It’s nostalgic, cute, great for self-expression, and a total winner for stockings, secret Santas, and beauty-obsessed teens.
Of course, Starface isn’t stopping at stars. Their Hydro-Stars (from £10.99) come in every colour under the sun: rainbow, green, black, yellow, purple, blue, and even a subtle Clear Star for teens who want results without the statement. Made from 100% hydrocolloid, they help calm inflammation, protect the skin, and make dealing with pesky spots feel… fun. Pop them into a school bag, tuck them into a pocket, or display them proudly – there’s a hue for every outfit and every teenage mood.
Perfect to pop into a stocking alongside the patches are Starface’s irresistibly squishy Star Balms (£5.99). With nourishing shea butter, coconut oil, and cocoa butter, they’re made for winter-chapped lips. The flavours are basically a sweet shop in balm form: Starfruit, Very Vanilla, Magic Mint, So Strawberry… and the brand-new arrivals Dream Berry, Cherry Charm, Punch Bowl, Going Guava, and Pineapple Pop. If your teen is forever losing lip balms, here’s a chance to give them one they’ll actually want to keep track of.
To round out a simple, glow-boosting routine, Starface also has two gentle, teen-friendly skincare staples that look as good as they feel. Star Wash + Salicylic Acid (£12.99) is a soft foaming cleanser packed with pore-clearing salicylic acid and hydrating ingredients for a clean-but-never-stripped finish. Pair it with Star Cream + Salicylic Acid (£12.99), a lightweight, oil-free moisturiser that keeps skin calm, hydrated, and smooth — ideal for breakout-prone teens wanting fuss-free skincare that genuinely works.
Bright, joyful, collectable, and practical, Starface has nailed the formula: skincare that boosts confidence, not stress levels. If you’re looking to wrap up a bit of cheer (and a lot of self-esteem) for the teen in your life this Christmas, these little stars deserve pride of place under the tree.
