What is a testimonial ad?
A testimonial ad uses a real customer's words, such as a review, quote or comment, as the main message. It answers a buyer's doubts with social proof rather than brand claims, and works especially well when the testimonial is specific about who the customer is and what changed for them.

- 01
Social proof first
Five stars and a named customer reassure sceptics faster than any brand claim.
- 02
Quote names the alternatives
Mentioning waxing and shaving lets the viewer instantly compare and picture the switch.
- 03
Editorial styling
The fashion-shoot look keeps the testimonial premium and differentiates it from UGC review ads.
- 04
Clear soft CTA
'Start using the Flasher Pro' tells the viewer the next step and names the product.
Full creative breakdown
Who this ad targets
This ad targets women aged around 28 to 50 who currently wax or shave and are tired of the routine and recurring cost. They are style-conscious, respond to premium aesthetics and want reassurance that an at-home device really works. It is particularly effective for warm audiences and retargeting, where viewers already know the brand and need peer validation before buying.
Copywriting analysis
The quote is short, emotional and specific. 'I can't believe' signals surprise and delight, while naming both waxing and shaving covers the two main alternatives and lets more viewers identify with it. The exclamation mark keeps the energy real and conversational. Attribution to 'Joyce' with just a first name feels authentic without being clinical. The CTA 'Start using the Flasher Pro' is softer than 'Buy now', framing the purchase as starting a new routine. Adding a review count or 'verified buyer' tag could strengthen credibility further for colder audiences.
Visual design
The image splits naturally into a top half for product and model and a bottom half for text, so nothing competes. The cool teal background and black tights frame the warm skin tone, while the gold stars echo the gold button on the device. White serif type is large and legible on the darker backdrop. The diagonal leg line leads the eye from the device to the quote, connecting product and proof.
How to adapt this template for your brand
- Pull your shortest, most emotional review that names an alternative you replace.
- Shoot your product in use with editorial lighting and an on-brand colour backdrop.
- Overlay your logo, five stars and the quote in a large serif.
- Add a first name for authenticity and a soft CTA line at the bottom.
- Test several quotes on the same image to find the strongest message.
Tips for hair removal ads on Meta
On Meta, testimonial ads tend to perform best in retargeting and lookalike audiences. Only use genuine reviews and keep the claim realistic to stay within advertising standards. The square size fits Feed and Marketplace; create a 9:16 version for Stories with the quote higher up. On LinkedIn this format is less relevant, but on Google Demand Gen it works well as a single image.
About this creative
This square testimonial creative from Nood looks more like a fashion editorial than a typical review ad. A black version of the Flasher Pro IPL device lies across a thigh wearing sheer black tights, photographed against a cool teal-grey studio wall. The lighting is soft and directional, giving the skin a warm glow that contrasts with the cool background. On the lower half, a white Nood wordmark sits above five large gold stars, followed by a big serif quote: 'I can't believe I don't need waxing or shaving anymore!' attributed to Joyce. A small uppercase line at the bottom reads 'START USING THE FLASHER PRO' as the call to action. The quote is emotional and specific, naming both alternatives the product replaces. The overall look signals premium, adult and confident, steering away from clinical beauty-device clichés while still showing the product in use on the body.
