“Personalisation equals efficacy. The era of unfinished skincare is over.”
“You can pivot—but you can also stay. There are core principles that let you be consistent while staying flexible.”
“If a product works, it doesn’t need a story. The story helps—but the efficacy sells.”
“Your budget starts with understanding your average customer journey.”
