A passing sample post is a 9:16 video of 15-30 seconds at 1080 x 1920 px with #ad inside the post — this five-point check catches what reviewers reject.
Stories and Reels run at 9:16, 1080 x 1920 px, and feed posts at 4:5, 1080 x 1350 px, so a portfolio needs both ratios. Film vertical by default and keep each clip between 15 and 30 seconds — long enough to show texture and dose, short enough to hold attention.
The disclosure rule comes from the FTC Endorsement Guides, revised in 2023: any material connection — payment, free product, discount code or commission link — must be disclosed clearly and conspicuously. In practice that means #ad or #sponsored in the caption and on screen in the video itself, held long enough to be read.
On narrow screens, swipe or scroll the plate sideways.
A disclosure on your profile page fails, because most viewers see the post without ever opening the profile. The same logic applies to vague tags like #sp or 'thanks to' lines — if a reasonable viewer could miss that it is an ad, it is not disclosed.
Make the sample as if a brand had sent the product, even when you bought it yourself: the point of the exercise is to prove the disclosure habit before anyone pays you. Reviewers reject samples for three recurring reasons — one ratio only, no visible #ad, and clips that run past 30 seconds.
The routine worth showing in the clip — including the 1.2 mL sunscreen dose that reads well on camera — is on the teen skincare safety basics page, and the roles this sample is submitted to are compared on the ambassador vs campus rep page.
