I still remember, I used to frequent this one Korean cosmetics/skincare store brand (Innisfree) and I didn’t realize how brightly lit the entire place is and each section of the products, they placed mirror in between.

Don’t get me wrong, I do love some of their products but comparing myself to those glossy skin store employees, it felt bizarre.

I get what you are saying but this generation seems to be hyper fixated on skin care, you can definitely see it in the way people refer to aging now. Tik tok, Instagram and KZbin content is demonizing wrinkles and fine lines because apparently you should have used this and that in order to meet the newer beauty standards. The thing is that people are not straight forward about it, but when a million comments ask about what retinoid and the 1kg sunscreen they should wear everyday from puberty till death, I’d say it’s pretty clear that it’s not necessarily about health, rather the appearance of a supposedly “healthy” skin.

My point exactly. It was my first time going to the dermatologist -who gave me MEDICINE that WORKS- and my relatives have the audacity to say "stick to natural remedies" and one of them is a mf nurse who was the one to suggest that I go see a dermatologist. That's like saying to my grandma that she should stick with those herbal supplements to heal her athrittis.

We still need to keep in mind tho that while acne is a disease, it still does not have cure. Skin neutrality is still a good thing to promote I think because a lot of acne is resistant to a lot of treatments. I went to so many different dermatologists when I was younger and nothing they prescribed me ever worked. Finally I was prescribed something that made a difference, but at that point I think I may have just aged-out of my acne

I think my favorite part of this video was the irony of celebrities claiming passion for sustainability, yet their lines are just adding to the millions of pounds of waste plaguing our planet. Nothing like performative marketing 👍🏼😂🙃 As the daughter of a chemical and plastics engineer, I have seen and experienced first hand what a mess the industry is, but also how it has the ability to do so much better. In terms of the actual products, I admittedly have zero knowledge or experience to speak from. 😓 I have been extremely, extremely fortunate to be one of those folks who can splash water on their face every other day but look like a I have a 10 step skin care routine. (Please don’t hate me. 🙈) But, both of my sisters have struggled their entire lives with hormonal and cystic acne. Just seeing how much it has affected them, I can’t imagine what it must be like to live it. And to want something so badly (clear skin) that despite better judgement (it ain’t creams Kylie 💉), they caved to the snake oil salesmen out there. As adults, they’ve realized the absolute lunacy of the industry, and have invested tons of time and energy into actual research. I’m so happy to be able to say that they’ve each found routines that seem to work for their lifestyles and produce results they enjoy. Which is also something I think people need to realize- there is no one product, one line, one routine, one pill, one whatever- that will work for everyone. I’m sure there are celebrity brands that get ripped apart, yet work amazingly for some people. At the end of the day, it’s a very individual experience. But, in general, celebrity endorsed anything gives me immediate involuntary cringe reaction 😂 Love your vids!!

I always found that by my parents not really letting me have any internet or just general media access until I was about...11? I never really encountered these sorts of marketing and social norms that I otherwise would as a child. I never really had too much anxiety or felt particularly ugly due to my poor skin from acne and the fact I don't fucking take care of my looks in general, but I also never realized how much others cared about it, and also had such a warped view about it. I get disliking acne, I tried to control mine too, until I stopped caring enough to even wash it regularly, but like, bumpy skin makes some people feel bad about themselves? Or even that light smattering of acne some people have, where there are just some small red bumps like freckles upon their cheek; people have strong opinions on? Honestly, I find it attractive when someone has rougher skin, man or woman. Maybe it's just because my mother has acne scars (like me because we both have underskin acne) so I just thought that was the norm to have rough, porey skin. Well, ya learn something new every day.

In a way, this video couldn't come in a better time for me as I have booked my first esthetician appointment next week after years of dermatologists, few rounds of Accutane, multiple lab tests and acne still making living difficult. I am pretty scared of going out in public after treatment with bare face - not because I'm ashamed of my acne (having it for more than 15 years, you get used to it and it just doesn't surprise you), but I'm afraid of looks/reactions I'm going to get. The acne stigma is a real thing and what's even more real is people judging you for having acne without any knowledge about your life, medical history and if you're treating it or not. Yeah, someone with no acne history whatsoever or those who inherited good skin genes will NEVER understand someone battling acne for years and their advices about 'doing something about it/I'd never go in public if I had that/don't care about it!' are really unwelcome and not working. It's a good thing some creators are spreading awareness about how the real skin looks, but...on the other hand I can't hide my inner cringe seeing that a total normalcy has to be explained (and even defended!) to the masses who believe in glossy, filtered ads of celebs with their skincare lines who are regulars at best dermatologists/estheticians/plastic surgeons and who have best makeup artist at their beck & call.

Great video. Another thing I’d like to add: it’s okay to start getting fine lines / wrinkles. I think we need to be more accepting of aging.

[@sarianagrande5369]

I love how moving your videos are. Always an eye opener. Thank you for making an impact to the world. Much love from 🇧🇳

[@hizkyastekle664]

ur literally amazing! I hate seeing these "POV" videos where they have acne and then they just suddenly have a "glowup" makes me super insecure and hate myself and body. But now that i see someone else is w me it makes me love and appreciate myself! :)

[@prokashlimboo7602]

This channel always does the homework at its best and always brings out the things which needs to be discussed, daebakkk 👏

[@ilovegaming114]

You doing always a perfect job. I wish more people would watch

[@hannagrande8057]

Kim's definition of refillable is just changing the casing/covers of the product. its literally a different bottle in the same casing. idk if that makes sense tho

[@smoothruth]

I'd love to see you make a video on this bizarre obsession of not having any body hair... like, when did it become such an extreme thing, especially regarding women? it creates such a pressure when you are kinda forced into a position where you have to feel ashamed for something as normal as hair on your underarms, legs, belly or whatever other body part.

[@dissectingculture95]

I grew up with a mother who is a beautician and she has always had the perfect skin which inspired others to buy products from her. I grew up surrounded by skincare and yet it took a skin condition and stress late in life before I became obsessed with skincare. I think I relate skincare to my mother so it has an extra nurturing and calming effect on me. I have been a legal researcher and I have used my abilities to seek out the best and most amazing skincare available. Gothamista youtuber is a great place to start I am also addicted to her channel. I really enjoyed your honest content thank you.

[@sanchitamaji3370]

I really want to thank you , I have pcos and acne and facial hair growth has been something that has made me insecure about my skin and personally thanks to you who brings out these important topics to the world. Love you

[@inathi1329]

I'd also like to add that a lot of people naturally have small amounts of hair on the areas of their face that we traditionally think of as smooth like on your cheeks or forehead, your chin for some women and more commonly on your upper lip. For some reason the media represents this idea that your face is supposed to be hairless apart from designated areas like your eyebrows or chin area (if you're a man)

[@RainbowSludge]

Totally agree with you! It is odd that they all come out with skincare lines suddenly rather than promote what they ACTUALLY use. It’s obvious it’s about the money and the market is saturated af. Also, I’m in my 30s and still fall into the trap of wanting “perfect flawless” skin. I get annoyed when I can’t cover a pimple or my under eye is getting fine lines… I love seeing others real skin so I remember that everyone’s (almost) looks like that….SKIN!

[@TheHearthFairy]

Thank you for being so open and honest about your skin! I’m def discouraged by face filters everywhere, but on the plus side it’s a good reminder to step offline for a bit and just ground myself in reality.

[@chigurl2279]

And to be honest one of the things that really helps with clear skin is the environment and food eaten(this is a game changer)

[@littlewillowlinda]

It annoys me bc it pushes other brands that don't have the $ for a pretty campaign or big celeb... It just seems like leveraging an audience quickly and easily which is marketing and has always been a thing with celeb endorsements. like you said it's all an illusion bc they have access to high end procedures and skin care. Small businesses don't stand a chance in the future if the various industries are being flooded with celeb lines that are more popular

[@han7oee]

Look people, if you want this "celeb skin" just go to a skin clinic, use good premium skincare products, eat healthy, have dozens of editors to make your picture look "perfect", workout, etc. This is how they look that way, because they have a reach to each of these things easily cause they're provided with it. So in the end, achieving this skin is quite impossible and just be happy with what you have. Textured skin is normal and that should be the norm

[@phumelelendimande6085]

the Kim one isn't refillable imo, you still have to buy a whole new bottle. it's just the bottle protector (?) that you keep

[@Linaaaouah]

I love ibrahim’s content he made me so aware about a lotta topics

[@Ty2Breezie]

OMG! Thank you for hitting on this topic! I miss the days where celebrities would create fragrances instead of skin care! Everyone skin is different and finding the right product will take time! The only person that won me over is Pharrell and his line worked, but not the way I want it but definitely give it a positive review! At this point, I’m going to go to a dermatologist who is able to further assist me with my skin!

[@carol4529]

This video is so informative and has such great points. I also think that tik tok’s skincare influencer does have some harm as well, even if it’s well intentioned. So many different products are recommend in every video and the constant marketing makes it overwhelming

[@akkshayasuresh9637]

This video just made me feel 20 times more beautiful. This is coming from a girl who had always thought she was the ugly kid in class. Thank YOU for this video. We need more videos like this one🌸

[@Holygroundgirlie.fanpage]

I forgot which brand it was but a couple years ago I bought a face wash from a celebrity brand and it made me break out and my skin was all itchy and red it was really painful and the thing is I don’t even have very sensitive skin so please look into the brand before you decide to purchase any skincare

[@ruka7u7]

bro, i've been watching your videos recently, i really like how honest u are, keep doing this

[@VitalAkkoo]

Absolutely amazingly described what celebrities are doing with people's emotions. I created a whole video on my acne journey on my channel and I understand it is not that easy to achieve that unrealistic glass skin. You are right, It doesn't exist. All we need is to make people aware of their real beauty. Whatever kind of skin texture they have, it is perfect. The more we run after a perfect skin, the more harm we do to it and to ourself. Just eat right, sleep properly, and stay focused on your work.

[@chelseastar12]

Adding this to my ✨ _Self Love_ ✨ playlist 🥺 thank you for this. Enlightening and inspiring as always 💖 That part about celebrating men aging like fInE wInE but shaming women on the other hand is crazy but heartbreaking.

[@kevinroyceho]

thank you for speaking on this. so tired of all this bullshit they're all just money hungry. and they need to be called out. their skin is so flawless cause of all the other expensive procedures they get that normal people can't afford or afford to keep up with.

[@hakimchulan]

Thanks for speaking out about the aging issue it really opened my eyes on something happening all the time without realising

[@pastelllie]

fenty is the only brand i really love, the makeup and lotion rihanna produces is actually nice

[@Kami656]

might sound overly emotional but this video actually hit me so hard bc this has been something that has been eating me up for so many years that I just cannot stop comparing myself with everyone else's perfect skin and in return get so insecure but your words filled me with a lot of courage to remind myself that it isn't unnormal...so thank you! so much. it's hard to stop feeling bad about it instantly but I think I will think back to your video a lot when i get anxious ;;

[@megi0021]

Great topic!! Worth spreading among young People, i thought same Way as you- why everyone Have perfect texture with no spots but not me.... dermatologist told me that many People after 25yo have such problems also because bad food quality, polluted environment

[@aerosmithkissme]

Your Chanel has helped me SO much. I just recently came across you and I’ve watched almost all of your documentary styled videos like this one. You’re beautiful talented and so positive toward normal people and issues. Thank you for being a wonderful influence!!!

[@pollymackay2023]

Appreciate the new backdrop so cute with your plants 🌱 🤍

[@ibrahimkamityoutube]

heheh thank you!!! I'm so in love with the simplicity of it

[@Forit26]

Bro your hair looks really good! Love the new style

[@Aynoesosijamaza]

Omg this is the best channel ever I love you

[@ibrahimkamityoutube]

hahaha thank you!!!!!!!

[@Danaclerici]

Thanks for bringing awareness to this topic!! Excellent video as always ✨

[@DIYDalia]

Seeing all of the brands combined in one video made me feel seriously disturbed… something is so wrong with this.. more clarity 💯

[@uhmmmhuh5064]

Such a comforting video after seeing so much false advertisement because man am I a sucker for those

[@OlgaRykov]

Love your videos, Ibrahim. You don't shy away from hard topics, but you're very sensitive in addressing them. ♥️

[@kennykings]

I love the fact KZbin recommended your channel omggg the commentary’s made my day 🤍😭😭🤍

[@zayie]

I honestly love every video you put out, they are all so well curated and enjoyable to watch. Keep up the good work!

[@navsystem2138]

Bless you!!! I really appreciate you and your openness/authenticity. You are wonderful. Keep doing what you're doing.

[@gabybarros6864]

Thank you for this video, I struggle a lot with my skin, I have pimple marks , and it's horrible. Looking these perfect skins makes me feel horrible.

[@ffnrew]

Thank you so much for this video! It made a huge difference between knowing and seeing it with the photos of celebrities with skin textures. I wish ads on TV, magazines would stop using photoshops/filters because, like I said, I know of their existence. But being bombarded with images of people with perfect, glass like skin sometimes makes me question why my skin is so bad

[@Megan-nm1xq]

you literally never miss

[@emmamorgan2121]

gosh i totally agree, HOWEVER the outset saved my skin/skin barrier and i will die for them

[@omgsadaiqa]

I am amazed on how complete celebrity’s skin care line is! I’ve been following Liah Yoo for the longest time and she gives substancial and factual advice on skin care and started her own skin care brand few years back. And it never cease to amaze me how she really put her effort into researching and ensuring whatever she’s putting out there is valuable and ethical. It took her some time to even come out with a just one brand new product. Please go and support her! I’ve been using all her products from facial wash, chemical exfoliant and it reeeeally has helped improve my skin condition. We should support more of this entrepreneurs than this crooked celebs

[@pink_monster21]

I really like her too!

[@suchanasundar4462]

Live for these videos dragging celebs, as they should be. And funny too with the edits. Subscribed!

[@fnafspaghetti3883]

the way Hyram looked at Hailee in the intro 😂

[@adriana1334]

If you watch the video on Hailey's KZbin channel you will realized that they were trying a lot of products and she was talking about all of them and not only the "Rhode" products.

[@HeasletStudios]

Really well thought out presentation, and you definitely balanced the facts with noting the emotional impact of this topic. You’re very empathetic and educated. Know that you’ve probably helped a lot of people already!

[@crystalcastillo7575]

I feel like Celebrity skincare trend is just another cash grab and a way for celebrities to make more money. Even if the skincare is “nice” why would I trust a new celebrity brand over a brand with YEARS of “experience.” Skin is nothing to play with and I’d rather take my chances with an established brand even if I do like the celebrity marketing the brand 🤷🏽‍♀️🤷🏽‍♀️🤷🏽‍♀️

[@sivanabanana889]

Thank you! You made me feel a bit better about my acne. I went on accutane last year and it really helped at first but now a year after i finished the treatment my acne is coming back and i felt really bad about it. It really makes you feel terrible about yourself and this video helped me be more calm and comforted. Keep it up

[@wasabi_honey]

The issue with skincare is that most products are useless. "Clear" skin starts with what you eat which you won't know until you observe how your body reacts to the foods you eat. If you notice garlic makes your skin greasy, stop eating garlic. If you notice you get tiny whiteheads from chocolate, stop eating chocolate. From there, keep your products as simple as possible: cleanser, toner, serum, moisturizer. If you don't change your diet, the products won't have any effect.

[@sliceofpie1741]

this video was accurate 🙌🙌 mina le dropped a video 2 days ago you both covered this very same topic and pointed out similar problems with this industry.

[@Ahmet-sj5lw]

I love this "showing your real face without filter" trend ❤️

[@allstar965]

I love your channellllllllll it’s such a nice change from todays media

[@FromMikaWithLove]

Great video! I agree with everything you said. The only skincare line I’ll give a chance is Rihanna’s - I’ve heard great things about her products. The rest of these celebrities won’t get a dime of my money bc they’re so fake! Also, as a WOC, hyperpigmentation is another struggle that we have to go through. I’ve spent thousands of dollars on bleaching creams, serums, treatments, etc. to get rid of them. Having acne as a Black woman is harder bc of the dark spots they leave behind. It’s almost like we have to spend more on specialty products. There’s a black owned skincare brand called Buttah that has great products for Black skin.

[@florencembah2626]

Actually Rihanna & Hailey brand, I heard great things about those two, plus I know Hailey brand is below $30 is Rihanna product also at moderate price or is it super expensive just curious?

[@xoangel3456]

Rihanna’s skin care line is just a no go, sorry but harsh ingredients and fragrance? That just isn’t something you should put on your face, especially if you have sensitive skin. Love Rihanna but really disappointed at her skin care line.

[@Sedow1231]

personally i always wanted a clear skin is because since i was 13 i suffered a lot of skin problems which is fine, but i hate it when i had to cover them with makeup ad it still doesn't work out, so now i care for myself as i want to feel "well-self-cared-of" mentality and not as my old self would think of me

[@anaalves9630]

Greeeaat video, finally! This video is so necessary. I follow your channel journey for so long and I remember I completely identified myself 2 you as I also suffered wirh severe acne. This video makes me smile and feeling good with myself and my skin instead of trying to be *them*. Thank you so so so much and keep doing such a great work. Xoxo from Portugal 🇵🇹

[@brigittefernandez4303]

I'm really enjoying watching your videos they're extremely well researched, delivered and articulate. As well as very interesting, informative and accurate. Thanks for sharing and do not pay attention to any negativity. You are appreciated 🙏

[@gabbyperez7477]

I’m not going to lie, but one celebrity skin line that really helped me with clearing my face was Fenty skin. It personally worked really well for me, just the face wash and moisturizer. Definitely my go toos!

[@BlaxicanBeautyTV333]

I love her eye cream

[@samiaerghouni8273]

You have gained a new subscriber! You made me feel better about my skin. Thank you for this video!
