Abstract :   

organic skincare products. Survey research design was adopted in the study, with questionnaire as the instrument for data collection. The population of the study comprised the female undergraduate students of Renaissance University Ugbawka, Enugu State. The Australian Calculator for sample size determination was used to determine the sample size for the study. The findings of the study indicated that the respondents were highly exposed to social media advertisements on organic skincare products. The study also found that social media advertisements influenced the respondents’ behaviour and attitude towards organic skincare products in different ways. The findings of the study equally revealed that, while social media advertisements provided sufficient information to guide the audience on the use of organic skincare products, the advertisements did not provide sufficient information on the side effects of the products. It is recommended that social media advertisements on organic skincare and other products should provide clear information on the side effects (if any) of the advertised products. Secondly, audience of social media advertisements should find out the side effects of the advertised products before making buying decisions.
