You explain why “toxic” ingredients aren’t actually toxic and how the percentages matter as they can be beneficial. You really uncover things that other youtubers don’t talk about because of your medical experience. You’re one of the best skincare people out there. 👍🏻👍🏻

      Beg to differ here, the body shop is a great brand, its not overrated at all. The ethics behind that company is what every other company, not only in India but all over the world needs to practice! Also, you can buy purito from beautybarn.in & the ordinary from coral-beauty.com sold in India (they haven't resumed selling yet because of covid) instead of importing them and paying customs. PS international shipping has been resumed, I got some stuff delivered by DHL express in july.

Basically it catches up to u maybe you don’t have it now but later down the track... lol And it’s not fun! I used to scratch my skin for hours before bed and ended up with insomnia and waking up at 3-4am every night scratching my skin so I don’t think Hyram is shallow with his understanding if anything it’s better to be safe than ending up like me lol there are so many preservatives skincare brands can use instead of using fragrances as a preservatives! 💕 just my thoughts!

I knew from high school chemistry class that NaOH has a pH of 14, and that an alkaline mixed with an acid will create a salt and water: NaOH + HCl = NaCl + H2O. I've always wondered about such a caustic substance used in skincare. It now makes sense that the formulation process can alter its chemistry.

Cosmetic formulations are extremely complex and it's hard to just look at the label and say "this product is bad because it contains X" because of the multiple interactions between the components and because you don't know the exact amount that was put into the formulation. We need more people like you, who doesn't approach skincare on an all-or-nothing perspective. Your content is incredible!

      It's good but WAYY more powerful so make sure to start slowly! The pixi one is only 5% glycolic acid, the ordinary's is just the straight up ingredient glycolic acid
      Edit: the ordinary's glycolic acid is only 7% , not the straight up ingredient. My bad

  • @Zenmasterzzz

    Out of all the “influencers” out there the only ones I trust is Dr Drey. Susan Yara and the rest of them just hype products up without any credentials to back up their claims. Like you said, some fragrance can be beneficial when it comes to formulations, but the way other influencers make it out as if it’s the devil. People need to take what influencers are saying with a grain of salt since most of them are being pampered by these companies for a positive review. I rather listen to someone with a medical degree.

      I think we can stop labelling people for one mistake n give them a chance. One chance is not a lot to ask for when that person has given great content n good information for years. I know people feel being cheated on and she did lie about her association but her reviews are not entirely dishonest.the brand is really n nice brand n I know quite a few who seem to have benefitted from that.

      Susan Yara is a sales woman. She is constantly promoting sponsored products that contain ingredients she actively speaks against (fragrance, SD alcohol, etc). Not to say she isn’t intelligent, I actually think the contrary, but I do believe her opinions need to be taken with a grain of salt because of this.

    All of the pretty pleases do a video exposing REN Skincare! A brand that touts being for sensitive skin, yet I have found an overwhelming amount of their products use fragrance.

    I really appreciate that you and Hyram brought this up because nobody is talking about sodium hydroxide. I took the products that contain sodium hydroxide out of my skin care routine since I discovered that it was the ingredient that was causing irritation (red patches) on my skin especially near my eye area. I think what happens is because that we layer so many skin care products and sodium hydroxide is in a lot of things (cleansers, toners, serums, moisturizers, spfs), I think we sometimes end up accumulating a lot more of it on our faces than the individual product formulations accounted for. I haven't been getting the red marks since I took the products that contain this ingredient out. Maybe my skin was just being sensitive I don't know 🤷‍♀️ I wonder if other people experienced this too

    Funny thing that you brought this up, Cassandra! Speaking of the Pixi bit, I think I discovered them at Superdrug in London and I too was attracted to their minimalist nature vibe packaging and I am super obsessed with not having plastics in my skincare since I struggle with acne and super sensitive combination skin. I remember explicitly not buying from the pixi rack when I realized that their are really not tht "all natural" as they seem and also probably not even completely cruelty free. That's what I thought at the time and because of that I never tried them, so it's quite funny to see this video now after 4 years.
    BTW, love your channel and I feel blessed to have found you on UA-cam, you're awesome and I love how you can recognize your own biases and change things whilst getting informed.

    We all know about the PR packages. Influencers keep rubbing it in our faces every time they go on a trip sponsored by these companies or get a PR package. They rush out to tell us, because this is how they feel superior to us. That is their purpose in life, to be known in order to be sent these gifts. We have to stop being influenced by and start experiencing
