Skincare line for men. I just turned 30 and I wanted an easier way to take care of my skin. One of the things I noticed was that there weren't a lot of skincare geared towards men that I "trusted." So, I threw myself all-in to see if I can bootstrap a brand focused on using natural ingredients myself. It was supposed to launch June 1, but early impressions suggested the "brand" sucked. Yes, I rebranded before I sold a single product, which was an expensive lesson, but it taught me a valuable lesson: Feature creep will always exist if you don't reign it in.
Anyway, I'm welcome to advice- if you want to check out the basic site, it's https://www.mendskin.co https://www.mendskin.co password: mendskin.
If you subscribe at the bottom (I'm a one man shop... I don't have the capacity to set up effective MailChimp campaigns, so you can trust me when I say I can't spam your inbox), I'll follow up with a personal hackernews offer once I launch.
- imnotreallynew 7y agoWhere/how are you sourcing product? Do you have any experience in cosmetics? A brand called “War Paint”, which I’m sure you’ve heard of, recently created some buzz and quickly attracted a lot of negative media. Did you learn anything from the negative feedback they received?
- treyfitty 7y agoI source the ingredients from a private labeler. They work with all the major cosmetic brands and sell what brands like L’Oreal don’t buy. Sure, we get leftovers, but it’s still top quality.
