[Neutrogena](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/neutrogena-x-aire) came up with an ingenious hands-on ad for its latest [makeup removal wipes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/goodwipes-launched). It exemplified how to put a free sample to good -- not to mention business-effective -- use. A cover was created so that the sample provided could actually be used to wash off the model's makeup thanks to ad agency DM9DDB and Brazilian magazine Caras, .

Actress Giovanna Ewbank is featured on the cover with bright lipstick, dark eyeliner and cover-up on. This can all be wiped away by the 'Deep Clean' sample, leaving her fresh-faced and ready for bed.

This hands-on ad is truly inventive -- engaging a large audience of readers and turning them into their own product evaluators. With this type of marketing, a product can ensure customer satisfaction for their ensuing purchase.

If other companies take note, there will be many more [interactive advertising schemes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/outdoor-advertising-campaign) in the near future.
