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!

How many people actually don't know about this ClearifySkin Premium Acne Pen is shocking… That pen saved me from divorcement from my wife, I had a lot of acne on my face and my back, but using this for few days helped a lot!
I wish someone had told me earlier that overcomplicating skincare usually makes it worse. What genuinely made a difference for me was simplifying everything… and focusing on healing instead of attacking my skin. I came across this blue light pen (ClearifySkin Premium Acne Pen) and honestly didn’t expect much. But it became the one part of my routine I actually looked forward to. Took about 2 weeks of daily use before I noticed fewer breakouts and less redness.
Wait, I definitely missed why niacinamide is the bad guy now?
Love the budget videos!!!
Yes yes yes that Caudalie mist is just bloody awful. I can't stand the smell of it (how does anyone else find this relaxing?!) And it stings the living sh*t out of my face. Just hell no! 😅😅 I don't understand how they are still going. Every single product i've tried is expensive and underwhelming. No good results.
I would love the Skin1004 if it did not contain tea tree. Essential oils are just a no when you have sore skin. Tea tree is just so reactive with my skin 😢
As someone who has a phobia of snails I’m so happy there are now alternatives! I want the hydration but not the slime😭 LOVE the grape water spray, I’ve repurchased it a few times but!!
james pleeeseeee recommend products WITHOUT NIACINAMIDE 😭😭😭😭
The Clinique Moisture Surge lip balm is so much better than the laneige sleep mask.
I switched from snail mucin to the byoma phyto mucin glow serum!!! I love it!!! It’s cheaper too
My current routine: prequel gleanser, byoma milky toner, byoma phyto mucin serum, cosrx alpha albuterin serum, byoma barrier cream (as day moisturizer) and good ole basic ponds as a night moisturizer. Once I cut back on the actives and focus on hydrating and healing my skin, it’s never looked better!!!
@JamesWelsh can you do a video on that? I think a lot of us went crazy during the pandemic and skin scare surge era with the actives. I’ve found going back to simple products and hydrating products has completely changed my skin for the better
