PRIDE IN ACTION: TURNING A PRODUCT LAUNCH INTO LGBTQIA+ SUPPORT

As a proud LGBTQIA+ founded and run brand that is focused on fast, easy, and effective solutions for acne-prone skin, Peace Out celebrates June (Pride Month and Acne Awareness Month) in a BIG way! Join Peace Out to learn about their 2024 Pride in Action campaign, which centered around a long-standing charitable partnership and a loud community call to action to “Wear Your Pride” via a limited-edition PRIDE Acne Dot – thousands of free samples of which were sent across the United States. It’s a refreshing example of how a brand can authentically celebrate the rich history, culture, and voices within the community – and spread awareness and kindness so we can make the world a more colorful place.
