Are These TikTok Products Worth the Hype? Smash or Pass!

[@fuzzysoccks]

I love how you acknowledged that these products are great for some skin types over others because everybody has different skin types and textures!

[@Hyram]

Thank you! Not everything works for me, every product works differently for everyone 😄🙏

[@lindseystein9676]

I think way more people would like the ordinary’s aha/bha peel if they left it on their skin for less time. The directions say 10 minutes, but I leave it on for 4 or 5 minutes. I don’t have especially sensitive skin, but I see better results with that particular product with less time

[@Hyram]

I totally agree with you, so many people who told me they had a bad experience with it was because they left it on for too long 🥲

[@JamesGrrl172008]

My skin is way too sensitive for that product. Bought it put in on within seconds my skin was tingly and then started to burn was like no this is not it 😂

As a dry skin person, peel off masks horrify me to my core. I used one from a brand I can’t remember a few years ago and my skin peeled like I was in the late stages of a sunburn. I don’t understand what in it did that so I avoid all of them.

[@mickyo7171]

For folks who have not tried Paula’s Choice BHA 2 percent (it’s available in gel form also) it is unbelievably effective. Because of what it did to my skin, 4 other coworkers tried it and they had the same results…it’s freakin’ magic. Now, some people can use it more frequently than other people. I can use it 4 times a week. People I know use it 3x max. once you have your tolerance level, you will love it.

It literally is, my skin goes from an instant 5 to a 10 when I purchase it and start using it again. I wish I knew of the product or it existed when I was a teenager and had crazy breakouts. My dermatologists were prescribing ineffective stuff they probably don’t prescribe anyone anymore. I can use it 1-2x a day no issues but its truly amazing. I didn’t watch the video yet so I wonder why hyram said “pass” (edit: never mind he didn’t say pass I misunderstood😅)

[@purbasabiswaspb]

Thank u hyram. You basically revived my skin. The last time I remember I didn't know anything about skincare and after damaging my already sensitive skin severely in the sun (because I didn't use sunscreen) I tried shampoo, conditioner, face wash, body wash and probably everything that was in the bathroom to peel it all off. And since then I have very very dry skin and sensitive too. But I learnt a lot about skincare from you what to use and what not to use. Thank you so much ❤😊

[@msk-qp6fn]

For me, Paula's Choice 2% BHA Liquid Exfoliant is a pass. I wanted to like it so much and maybe I got a bad batch, but it felt weirdly greasy and sticky on my skin yet weirdly dried me out and I expected it to be hydrating due to Gothamista (I am dry and acne prone). It did work for the blackheads on my nose though. Bioderma Sensibio Micellar Water is a smash, so gentle and hydrating yet great for getting sunscreen off.

[@vampgaia]

My skin doesn't like Paula's Choice either. I use Some By Mi's AHA, BHA, PHA system. That works great for my skin.

I deeply appreciate how you started me out on my skin care journey 3 years ago. But CeraVe, Paula’s Choice, and the Ordinary made my face so painfully dry, tight, irritated and itchy! The formulas also felt lackluster and uncomfortable on the skin. Everyone’s skin is different but I’m glad you helped me discovered other skincare influences that aren’t restricted by fragrance or chemical sunscreens, because it allowed me to find products that make me feel hydrated, safe and luxurious. I’m happy to announce that I’ve found my repeat skincare ride or die products and my painful acne and scars have vanish. Although I don’t consume your content anymore or agree with all your mythos, you really taught me so many amazing things that help me make informed skincare and consumer decisions.
