This acquisition, announced on August 5, 2026, represents the first for Gorgeous Collective since its launch earlier in the year, demonstrating the brand's ambition to solidify itself in the fast-growing professional skincare sector. Founded by IMAGE Studios, Gorgeous Collective aims to create a multi-brand franchise platform that collaborates with proven beauty and wellness franchises, enhancing operational capabilities while maintaining brand identity.
Clean Your Dirty Face, launched in 2015, has rapidly gained popularity with a loyal customer base due to its unique approach to skincare.

This focus on accessible skincare services has resonated with clients seeking both quality and convenience in their beauty routines.

Patel stated, "From the first conversation, it was clear that Gorgeous Collective understood what we've built and the opportunity for growth." Clean Your Dirty Face aims to enhance its capabilities with increased support from Gorgeous Collective without losing sight of its mission to make skincare as routine as daily coffee. Patel's vision underscores the commitment to transforming skincare from luxury indulgence to an everyday necessity, which aligns with Gorgeous Collective's strategic goals.
The acquisition will allow Clean Your Dirty Face to maintain its brand identity and operational structure while benefiting from Gorgeous Collective’s infrastructure in areas such as marketing, technology, and franchise development. Jason Olsen, CEO and founding member of Gorgeous Collective, expressed confidence in the acquisition, remarking on Clean Your Dirty Face's strong fundamentals and the loyal franchisee community that has been built since its inception. Coupled with Gorgeous Collective’s shared resources and expertise, this partnership is expected to accelerate growth and enhance service offerings.

As Gorgeous Collective focuses on expanding its portfolio, the company is evaluating potential acquisitions within complementary sectors of beauty, wellness, and personal care, which suggests a strategic vision aimed at diversifying their offerings while improving operational efficiencies across their brands.
With the acquisition of Clean Your Dirty Face, Gorgeous Collective not only reinvigorates the skincare franchise but also reinforces its commitment to supporting brand identities and enriching customer experiences.
