Ads - Part 40

 Elave Skin Cream

Some of you expressed interest in an ad for skin cream by a company called Elave, so by popular demand, here it is.

This 2007 commercial, called "Nothing to Hide," features actress Tyler-Jane Mitchel and other actors completely naked.  Two years later, Mitchel became famous as the star of a New Zealand TV drama called Outrageous Fortune.  If you can look past the prominent female nudity, the commercial also contains plenty of male nudity, including several penises, and there's no attempt to conceal them behind props.

Elave is made by an Irish company called Gardiner Family Apothecary, but the commercial was created by a New Zealand ad agency and was filmed in a studio in Auckland, New Zealand, not the scientific laboratory that the ad pretends to portray.

Nudity is more acceptable in Europe than in America, but this ad's nudity is in-your-face extreme.  How did they get away with it?  The ad was not shown on TV.  It was only available to view online.  Even so, after the ad was launched, the company's sales rose 500%.

Ugh. Shaved pussy is even more disgusting than natural pussy. At least it looked like the men weren't shaved.

I thought it was great too! Everyone should be naked.

The men certainly WERE shaved. I guess with a skin care product, that’s to be expected, but such a disappointment for otherwise very hot men.

All young and fit men & women. One slightly older man. No older women, no plus-sized models. Interesting casting choices, just saying.

@Gene Perry - Of course. That part is standard advertising strategy. Ads always feature beautiful-looking people, rich people, people having fun ... and the unspoken message is: use our product and you will be like these people. In the case of this product, a skin cream, the message is: use our product and you will look like these people.

Well, I absolutely did love this ad!! I was VERY disappointed to learn that those weren't actual employees. I am not at all turned off by naked women, just the opposite. There were definitely some nice penises in this ad, and I really eyed them over!!!! Thank you for your research, which did bring out the disappointing fact that those weren't actual employees (shucks) in this ad.
