Central concept with a double meaning — digital filter × sunscreen
Extended to an AR filter on Instagram

01 — Concept

The only filter
your skin really needs

The brief started from a clear insight: Brazilian consumers seek simple routines and natural beauty — and Isdin already has the product attributes that consumer wants (lightweight texture, fast absorption, no greasiness). The problem was one of connection, not product.

Isdin needed to get closer to the Brazilian audience with communication that was relevant, desirable and authentic all at once. Natural beauty as a value, not as a filter.

Creative insight
"Filter" carries two simultaneous meanings in the Brazilian digital world: the Instagram filter and the sunscreen filter. The campaign uses this ambiguity as its territory — positioning Isdin as the only filter your skin really needs in summer.

The tagline "In summer, the only filter your skin really needs is sunscreen" operates on exactly that double reading — it works as a critique of digital filter culture while communicating the product with clarity and ease.

☀️
Natural beauty
Photography with real models in everyday situations — sea, coffee table, balcony. No artificiality, no exaggeration.
📱
Digital activation
An Instagram filter as an organic extension of the concept, a challenge with influencers and original content for the brand profile.
🌍
Real diversity
Multiple model profiles — different skin tones, contexts and styles — for genuine connection with the Brazilian audience.

02 — Key Visuals

The campaign in

04 — Physical applications

The brand beyond
the feed

The campaign extends beyond the digital — beach physical mockups as brand touchpoints in the real summer environment. The beach towel and bag act as ambient media in the places where sunscreen is actually used.

05 — Process

From brief to
complete system

01
Brief and brand territory
Analysis of Isdin's positioning — premium, scientific, effective — and mapping of consumer behaviour: natural beauty, simple routines, diversity and purpose. Isdin had the right product; it needed the right connection with Brazil.

02
Creative concept — the double "filter"
Development of the central insight: "filter" operates as both a digital filter (Instagram) and a sunscreen filter at the same time. The tagline "In summer, the only filter your skin really needs is sunscreen" positions Isdin as a natural response to a culture that relies on digital filters to look good.

Key Visuals and visual system

07 — Learnings

What this project
taught me

The best insight is the one that was already there. The ambiguity of "filter" existed before the campaign — the creative function was to see it and build on top of it. Good campaigns rarely invent something from scratch: they find what is already true and say it in a way that resonates.

Multiple KV variations are not inconsistency — they are reach. Producing KVs A, B, D and the v3 revisions allowed the campaign to be tested across different contexts, models and framings without losing the throughline. Consistency is not about always using the same image, but about maintaining the system.

The most powerful channel was the extension of the concept itself. An AR filter on Instagram that reproduces the campaign's insight is more honest — and more effective — than any paid piece. When the idea and the product meet in the same space the consumer uses every day, the campaign becomes content.
