🔒 Register free to see the ad spend, reach, the video and all Alana Beauty’s adsRequest removalWe found 54 beauty & skincare ads from 45 brands whose main market is Portugal and that ran for 60 days or more on Facebook and Instagram. Brands only keep paying for ads that sell, so a long run is the best public sign that an ad works.
Half of them ran longer than 65 days, shorter than the 66-day median for beauty & skincare ads across Europe, and 6% passed six months. The longest has been running for 270 days.
Most run on Facebook and Instagram (87%). The median ad text is 72 words long, and 80% use emoji. Loja do Shampoo has the most long-running ads here (2), followed by Avera Korea and Dr.Milla Makhamid.
Brands keep paying for these because they sell. A free account shows what each one may have cost, where it reached most people, and every other ad the brand runs.

🔒 Register free to see the ad spend, reach, the video and all GadgetMania Portugal’s adsRequest removalA brand opens its long-running ads in the adthief.ai app: the creatives side by side, how long each has run and what it may have cost. A free account is enough.
80% of the ads use emoji; the median ad text is 72 words.
Every night adthief.ai collects the Meta ads running in the EU and the UK and keeps the ads that have run for 60 days or more, one per creative. An ad counts for its main market, the country where it reached the most people. Markets and industries with fewer than 50 such ads get no page. Meta doesn’t publish spend or sales, so a long run stands in for “profitable”: a strong signal, not a guarantee. Data as of 3 November 2026.
We studied 10,796 Facebook and Instagram ads that ran for 60+ days in Europe: how long winners run, how long their copy is, and where they are placed.
How long do winning Facebook ads run? Run times of 9,839 Meta ads that lasted 60+ days in Europe, by industry and country, plus when to judge, keep or replace an ad.
Every big ad platform now publishes its ads. Here is where to find your competitors’ ads on Meta, Google, YouTube and TikTok, and what to look for.
