Its so easy for skincare products to become overly hyped. Especially with the rise of brands desperately trying to go viral and influencers wanting the be THE person to sell out and discover products! So today i’m sharing my personal opinions on what products I believe are overly hyped and what i believe to be better alternatives!

Just realised I uplaoded the reason of this video without the product demos! So sorry! 😭
the LRP’s Cicaplast was the only thing to help my perioral dermatitis! my skin reacted to everything else at the time 🫠
Avené has a great face mist for sensitive skin.
I agree 1000% with these and espcecilly the beauty elixir. SometimesI buy it still, not at all for its skincare benefit, but to feel like a queen from 1700s and for getting refreshed if I have a cold 😂
Prikly pear is actually a beaty power house ❤
I feel so validated after watching this! Every single one of these “overhyped” products never worked for me for the precise reasons you mentioned. So thankful for you and this video 💌
Flavored colored water 😂
I struggled with breakouts for years and honestly gave up at one point. Dermatologists, expensive creams, prescriptions, nothing ever gave me consistent results. I wasn’t even expecting much when I tried a blue light pen I found online "ClearifySkin Acne Pen", but for the first time in years, I felt like something was actually helping. My skin didn’t magically clear overnight, but within 2–3 weeks, the inflammation calmed, and I wasn’t waking up to painful new spots. I still can't believe such a small change in my routine made a big difference. If anyone’s feeling stuck like I was… don’t overthink it. Sometimes simple is better. Just wanted to share in case it helps someone else. If you’re stuck in that cycle of “nothing works”, I get it. But don’t sleep on light therapy. It’s gentle, non-invasive, and helped me more than anything I used before. Wish I didn’t wait so long to try it.

I remember avoiding mirrors and skipping events just because my skin was acting up. It messes with you mentally. I don’t normally post stuff like this, but after trying the "Clearify Skin Acne Pen", I slowly started seeing real progress.. and that alone gave me hope again. What I loved most is that it’s not another cream or harsh chemical. It’s just light. You turn it on, use it for a few mins daily, and it quietly does its job. If you’ve been overthinking your skincare, maybe give it a shot. Worst case: it’s a few minutes a day. Best case: you stop feeling like your skin is the enemy.
