Beauty Pie (BEAUTY) LED Mask Ad Banned Over Misleading Claims

AI Summary

The Advertising Standards Authority banned an ad for Beauty Pie's LED face mask, which claimed to be 'clinically proven to reduce wrinkles in four weeks.' The authority noted that Beauty Pie's supporting evidence from a test involving 28 people was insufficient due to the small sample size and lack of a placebo group. While 92% of testers reported a reduction in fine lines, the ASA ruled that improved results could not be attributed solely to the mask. The LED market is projected to reach £600 million globally by 2032, indicating a significant opportunity despite the ruling.
