WHO: Faace was founded in 2019 by Jasmine Wicks-Stephens with a mission to tackle everyday skin stresses caused by menopause, periods, tiredness, and perspiration. The range simplifies complicated skincare routines with products that adapt to your skin's life cycles.
WHY: In July 2024, Wicks-Stephens began the process of trying to find a buyer for Faace.
IN THEIR OWN WORDS: “I’m a little bit dumbstruck, to be honest,” Jasmine Wicks-Stephens shared on her Substack. “Last week, when we (the shareholders, new owner and I) signed the agreements, I still didn’t believe that it wouldn’t all fall through. And it hasn’t. My skincare brand, after years and years of heartbreak, has sold.”
She continued, “I’m excited and proud that someone else sees a future in the concept. So Faace 2.0 is now officially on the horizon.”
