Simple recently launched a collaborative [limited-edition skincare collection](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/liquid-deaths) with British girl band [Little Mix](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/asics-x-little-tokyo), along with a digital campaign to catch the eyes of consumers ages 25 and under.

The products that have been released as part of the collection include Micellar Water, Micellar Wipes, Dual-Effect Eye Make-Up Remover, Facial Wash and Moisture Sheet Masks, each of which sports a packaging design that pays tribute to the band's album artwork. By refreshing the designs of these skincare products, Simple aims to target [Gen Z consumers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/saint-crewe), particularly those who are interested in experimenting when it comes to keeping their routines feeling fresh.

In these limited-edition skincare products, consumers will find ingredient lists that are free from artificial perfumes and colors, no harsh chemicals and alcohol-free formulas.
