UGC style video
Skincare serum UGC ad example
This skincare UGC ad example is a 29 second creator style video for a fictional niacinamide serum, with the full script, scene roles and seconds on this page. A creator talks about dull skin, shows the bottle, names the one ingredient and closes on a discount code. The before and after is her own eight week result, said in the first person, which is the honest way to make that claim.

The brief that made it
UGC ad for Larkspur Labs 10% niacinamide serum. Creator: woman late 20s, bathroom mirror, morning light. Hook on dull tired skin, her eight week result, niacinamide as the proof, code LARK15 for 15 percent off. Under 30 seconds, no medical claims.

Why the claim is worded this way
Every line about results belongs to the creator, not the product. Scene 3 lists what changed for her, smoother texture, brighter by week eight, no sting, and scene 5 closes the thought with "Not a cure. Just my skin." That wording is deliberate. A serum that promises to treat acne, eczema or any condition is making a therapeutic claim, and in most markets that moves the ad into regulated territory. A personal result told in the first person, with the ingredient named as the reason to believe, is the version of this ad a brand can defend. The one number on screen, 4.8 stars from 2,000 reviews, sits in its own scene so the social proof is checkable rather than mumbled.
How the creator scenes were made
The three talking scenes each carry a full frame video slot for the creator. In the product's UGC generator that slot is filled automatically: one creator description produces one portrait, and an avatar model animates that portrait for up to three talking beats, so the same face and voice carry the whole ad. This example was built by hand in the builder, so the creator slot holds a licensed stock clip of a real morning routine instead, trimmed to 6, 6 and 3 seconds. Everything else works exactly as generated: the hook text lands letter by letter over the clip, the check bullets stack beside her in scene 3, and the caption pill types on with the narration.
The shape: three talk beats and three cut ins
The ad alternates between the creator talking and hard product proof. Talk, product, talk, rating, talk, offer. Fifteen of the 29 seconds are the creator speaking and the rest is cut ins that each make one point: the bottle with the ingredient, the star rating with its count, and the code with the button. UGC mode enforces this rhythm, at most three talking scenes, every other scene held to a few seconds, and the last scene always the close. If you retype the code or the price in the close scene, nothing else needs to change.
What makes this video work
The claim is a personal result
Scene 3 says "smoother texture" and scene 5 says "Not a cure. Just my skin." Nothing claims the serum treats a condition, so the ad stays inside cosmetic claim territory while still describing a change you can picture.
Proof is a number with a source
Scene 4 puts 4.8 stars from 2,000 reviews on screen next to the bottle, with a one line quote. A rating with its denominator reads as checkable; a bare five star row reads as decoration.
Three talk beats fit under 30 seconds
The creator speaks for 6, 6 and 3 seconds, and each gap is a three second cut in. That cadence, talk then proof then talk, is the rhythm the UGC mode enforces with its three talking scene cap.
Questions people ask
Is the creator a real person?
In this hand built example the creator slot carries a licensed stock clip, so yes, she is real footage, but she is not the brand. When you generate a UGC video in the product, one creator description produces an AI portrait and an avatar model animates it for up to three talking scenes, so the face is consistent and fictional.
Can I make claims about acne or eczema?
Not in an ad like this. Naming a skin condition turns a cosmetic claim into a therapeutic one, which is regulated separately in most markets and needs evidence behind it. The script stays with texture and brightness, described as one person's experience, and says "not a cure" out loud. The sources below explain where that line sits.
How long should a skincare UGC ad be?
Under 30 seconds. UGC videos in the product are capped below 30 seconds with at most three talking scenes, and this one lands at 29 with beats of 6, 6 and 3 seconds of speech. If you have more to say, make a second video rather than a longer one; short ads get watched to the code.
Why is it 9:16?
Creator style ads live on Reels, TikTok and Shorts, which are all vertical. The whole video is built at 1080 by 1920, and the caption pill sits 120 pixels up from the bottom edge so platform interface elements do not cover the words as they type on.
Can I change the discount code?
Yes. The code, the offer line and the button label are three text slots in the closing scene, so you retype them in the builder and nothing else moves. The same close layout carries the product photo, so a seasonal offer swap is a one minute edit.
Is the review count real?
No. Larkspur Labs is fictional and 4.8 from 2,000 reviews is invented for the example. When you make your own version, use your real rating and count, because a number a viewer can check on your store listing is the entire point of that scene.
