# Finger-Torturing Games DUAC's Skin Care Ads Use Games to Show How Acne Makes Your Fingers Sad By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2014-08-20 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/skin-care-ads References: [adsoftheworld](http://adsoftheworld.com/media/online/duac_finger_torture) & [fingertorture](http://fingertorture.com/) Rather than choosing to go the route of showing boring before and after images for its [skin care ads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/authentic-skincare-campaign), this DUAC campaign takes the form of a game. With 'Finger Torture,' players are able to make use of their webcam, microphone and keyboard to abuse four fingers and a thumb. Although acne happens on the face, this game addresses that your fingers also have to put up with touching it too. Each of the fingers features a different kind of technique to make [acne disappear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/led-acne-patch), like covering it up with gobs of makeup, popping pimples or trying to scrub them away. Alternatively, when players find out that these methods are rather futile, they can click through to learn more about DUAC's gel as a solution. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.7/10 - Popularity: 25% | Activity: 78% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/games) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Interactive Advertising:** Using games in advertising campaigns to engage and educate consumers. - **Multimedia Integration:** Leveraging webcams, microphones, and keyboards to create interactive experiences. - **Alternative Marketing Approaches:** Moving away from traditional before and after images in skincare ads. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Skincare:** Exploring innovative ways to advertise and promote skincare products. - **Gaming:** Integrating interactive gameplay elements into advertising campaigns. - **Cosmetics:** Finding new ways to address skincare concerns and promote cosmetics solutions. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Blue Light Awareness Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vaseline-screen-block.md) - [Sickness-Fighting AI Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mucus-masher.md) - [Effortless Skincare Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/deglaze-my-makeup-with-me.md) - [Interactive Fashion Horror Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-room-by-gentle-monster.md) - [Debunking Skincare Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/periodic-fable.md) - [Gaming Ads-Inspired Video Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/those-games.md) - [Empowering Skincare Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/skincare-campaign-1.md) - [Attention-Grabbing Acne Tubes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pure-daily-care.md) - [Gamified Children's Care Products](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/babyfirst-brand.md)
