Everyone owns skincare products, but nobody knows what's actually working. Today, @theantheaguo and I launch @lumeriaskin (YC S26) to end that. The Lumoscope is a multispectral camera that clips onto your phone and scans your skin at home with the same light used in clinics, so

What this launch shows

From an account with 3K followers, this reached 1080.7 times the account's own following. Accounts in the same band, under 5K followers, reach a median of 161.4 times their following, so this travelled about 6.7 times further than usual for its size.

It ranks 20 of 627 launches from accounts that size. Against every launch in the directory it sits at 4.8 times the median of 688K views.

Saves led. 8K people bookmarked it, 23.7 per 10,000 views against a directory median of 11.7. A bookmark is a plan to come back, and it tracks signups and demo requests more closely than a like does.

The rest: 364 replies, 290 quotes, 663 reposts. One bookmark for every 1.2 likes is a high ratio and usually means a product people intend to try.

The first line is “Everyone owns skincare products, but nobody knows what's actually working”. It carries a 1:01 video against a directory median of 65 seconds. Videos between 30 and 90 seconds have a median of 603K views in the directory.

The copy runs 47 words, about the usual length for a launch post here, where the median is 41. There is a link in the body, which costs a post some reach and buys it a place to send people.

It went out on a Thursday. Launches posted on a Thursday have a median of 724K views in the directory, and Friday is the strongest day at 880K.

Launching a product on X from a small account covers this: an account with 3K followers has to earn every view from outside its own following.

For the next one, read attributing signups to a launch: a save rate this high is the number to follow into the product. X analytics explained is the guide for it: what each of these numbers means, with benchmarks by account size.
