Miracle or Fraud? Green Mask Stick | 208SkinDoc

When I first saw the Green Mask Stick I couldn't believe that anyone would fall for it. However, their videos kept popping up on TikTok so I assumed their marketing must have been working. As a result, I bought it to show everyone that it does not work and I DID NOT expect what happened next. After releasing my videos, you won't believe what the company did in response.

I’m here because I just saw one of their advertisements on FB marketplace. 😂 I figured someone else had already bit the bullet and called them out. Sure enough. Thanks for the video!

[@Captdewey21]

ditto!

hahaha you and me both mate!

Terrific video. Facebook needs to take down false advertising.

I keep seeing this on Pinterest. It’s crazy how unrealistic the advertising is with the chia seeds. Lol

[@mangosday]

I just got here from pinterest too! it looked so crazy, I had to look for legit reviews

[@zannahmerrill3620]

Lol, me too. Doc said the skin looks "perfect" after, and I'm like "it looks FUZZINATED" 😂 but we obviously mean the same thing

[@luiswaverly5632]

Oh those were chia seeds ! One of the videos on their website actually has a model who . . put makeup on in her 'after' reveal, she's tanner and has contour.

I thought we had laws holding companies accountable for fraudulent advertising…

[@MommaBear415]

Right how do we get our money back

[@wreckemraider1924]

The company is ran in a different country…where our laws obviously don’t apply

[@rachelsarmientotack]

Not every country has the same product regulations. It's really up to global online companies like Amazon to have the ethics to be more selective in what they allow to be sold on their platform. But the fact that they're simply a marketplace and take no part in production of the millions of products sold on their platform gives them so much plausible deniability.... they have no motivation to take any responsibility. The fact that they provide a means for consumer reviews and mediate returns is enough to protect them and put the responsibility of bad purchases and any consequences there of solely on the consumer.

[@DeFrostedKiwi]

@@rachelsarmientotacknot necessarily… you can’t buy guns or drugs of amazon. So they do regulate to some degree.

[@rachelsarmientotack]

@sagaciousgaming4237 Fair enough. They don't weed out scams, theft, and faulty products. That requires research and quality control. But they do weed out outright physically harmful products which are illegal or highly regulated in most countries.

[@sirjohnrambo]

In this video you ask “how anyone could fall for this?”. The answer is simple. I consider myself a intelligent person but when you’ve had bad skin for your entire life and tried literally every different facial cleanser and acne treatment products and nothing works at that point you are willing to try anything once. Of course in my mind I was sceptical but I’ve spent so much money over the years I figured 20 more dollars is worth the gamble even on the remote chance it works even a little bit. Try being 42 years old and being crippled by fear of going out anywhere in public. I prefer to not been seen by other humans because of my horrible skins appearance so even going to get groceries is difficult. My point is we aren’t stupid enough to fall for these kinds of scams just desperate

[@justincraig398]

Stop with the sob story. I won’t understand paying for this bs product lol. You should have looked at reviews FIRST. I saw these ads for a few weeks maybe even over.a month at this point , and I would always just click skip immediately, but finally I decided to see if it works. So instead of being a baby and crying about having bad skin , I just KZbin if it works or not. And then I saw people saying exactly what I thought to be true, and then I didn’t buy it lol. So just chill dude, no one cares about your bad skin, you’re a 42 year old man. Just find a hobby or something , buy a motorcycle, idk , stop acting like a teenage girl.

[@sirjohnrambo]

@@justincraig398 thanks for your compassion. I can see you assume all kinds of things about me after reading a paragraph. Motorcycles have been the number one passion in my life since 1992 when I got my first of many dirt bikes. Since then over the years I’ve had all kinds of different street bikes mostly cruisers but in recent years I’ve been more into sport bikes. Last year I traded in my 2008 Honda CBR800 for brand new Yamaha R1. It is the true joy of my life. As for hobbies it’s mainly golfing and fishing but I also have a massive gun collection and enjoy target shooting a lot. In winter I’ve always done lots of skiing because of how close I live to the rocky mountains and grew up doing it. I’m also passionate about martial arts since I was a kid watching ninja turtles and Jean-Claude Van Adam me movies. I starting kickboxing at our fitness plus gym in 1997 and in 2006 started Brazilian jujitsu classes. To this day I still go to Shotokan karate classes twice a week. I live on my acreage because I don’t like the city or people but my dog is the coolest companion I could ever have. I ride my horses because I enjoy the peace it gives me. You went out of your way to try and hurt my feelings with your comment and that is why I don’t like people. Others will try and be negative or toxic especially online. Did it make you feel better to try and bully me? If you disagree with someone that’s fine by why run them down and insult them? What does that accomplish for you

[@aleidaforbes]

@@justincraig398 You’re the one acting like a teenage girl in my opinion

Try rubbing aloe vera plant paste on cleaned skin every night before going to bed and see the results.

Resolution to acne is not just topical… it’s lifestyle as well and diet. If you don’t know that then you’re not desperate… you’re indeed dumb

yeah cause hairpieces totally don't exist

[@brookecrago1261]

I almost got sucked into this but luckily I do research before I even consider buying a product or anything that I'm not familiar with so thank you for your video. I found it on Amazon for $10 and was even more tempted but luckily I didn't take the bate! Technology is a blessing and a curse but it's times like these when I love it. Ty!

[@christopherwilliams4727]

I got it sadly 😢😅

[@WKZworks]

Always fun to see a professional expert call out bullshit in their field. Cheers to you, sir!

[@jaycreswell7008]

My mum drunk ordered this for a laugh abd whilst it definitely is not any kind of miracle, it's actually not a bad mask on my sensitive, oily skin. Makes the skin a bit softer, does tend to calm redness and doesn't cause breakouts.

[@marym7706]

I bought it a long time ago because I really enjoy green tea products. And I agree with you- the ads are a total scam, but the product itself actually felt nice to use and was very calming on my skin.

[@niknikm4169]

Same here…the ads are completely bogus. However I love how it makes my skin feel and look. It’s actually a decent product……too bad they’re not advertising it as such.

[@amanthami3528]

I don't know about that stick my girlfriend just told me it was a scam ( i was read to order it btw ) .... But something i would like to share when you buy fresh bananas keep then inside a rice packet like cover them with rice and keep them they'll stay fresh for longer period of time....

I laughed so hard when you put chia seeds on your face! 🤣🤣🤣

[@corruptsolja]

thats what they are doing thats y he did it

[@GREALER]

Try to keep up hun

[@Nonsequitoria2010]

I bought it during that first wave, thinking that it probably WOULD NOT work the way it was advertised, but it came with the purple eggplant one free, and was a reasonable price, and I figured it would make a travel-convenient mud mask. It definitely feels nice and buttery, I'll give it that, but year - only Jesus can clear your skin that well that fast.

[@evaa945]

My mom had given me one, I think it came in an Ipsy box or something, but it was in a pack of two. A green one and a purple one but it was like a different company, but the same product. I tried it bc I had been seeing it everywhere, and wanted to test it out. And it did not work how advertised. But my skin did feel smooth after 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@khione8044]

I have been seeing these advertisements everywhere! It always looked totally fake to me! But I had assumed they were applying some kind of foundation (or some kind of makeup) to "cover up" the blemished skin. Interesting to see what it is they were really doing. But regardless, definitely fake! Sad to see that they are still able to advertise this fake product with blatant and obvious false marketing!

[@sarahelizabeth8691]

Soooo easy to see that it was a false advertisement. I mean maybe it's a common sense or a trust thing, but no one should be falling for that. It was like they just photoshopped and blurred the skin and its showed!

[@TheStephi1305]

I saw them on Pinterest with your video I believe as well. I dont like to stray away from the line i use without really looking into what ingredients im mixing it with etc. so i looked for reviews on youtube thank goodness I found this video

[@pamelafarrell1604]

Great call out DOC. Poor kids looking for a miracle and the horrible ppl taking advantage of our kid’s insecurities

[@1980THELBC]

I paid 2.84 on eBay for this product it took awhile getting it, it’s in front of me now, arrived 2 days ago so I came on here see how it helps others first,not used it yet and after seeing these vids am not gna use it, going in the bin, thank fec it was cheap coz I actually was gna pay 12 for it on their own site but looked it up on ebay instead! Lucky f me I only bought it for my nose feel sorry ppl who suffer with spots when this lets them dwn! But fear not because true beauty comes from within, and it’s free till death do we part! Edited on 9 aug, I couldn’t resist being let dwn, I used it didn’t I. Just had to it was like seeing a dnt touch sign for paint trying. Well it burnt like hell f two days it literally felt like sunburn! I was happily not surprised to be let dwn. NEVER AGAIN!

First time I saw a Green Mask Stick video my first thought was, "Looks like chia seeds". Thanks for confirming that.

Rule of thumb in the internet, if it looks way too good to be true and it is on any social media platform, it's a scam.

[@albanknoxfan]

U guys, i tried this after buying it in Shopee. I did as the instruction said, cleaned my face then putted the product on my face for 15 minutes before rinsing with water. My pimples started bleeding and my blackheads didn't disappear at all.

[@miklee2535]

I'm thankful I found this before I tried

I found your video after I purchased it. My pores look awful so I was hoping it would make them smaller but I tried on arm like they say and did nothing 😢

[@jorgeacevedo8389]

Thanks for the time to make this video. Your work was important to validate my thoughts about the product. Furthermore, it is unfortunate to see so many businesses profiting from people's hope with no consequences. I hope your video can prevent many from this scam, but more importantly, to estimulate critical thinking as a new mind set.

[@NamelessAnon]

Yeah, I always noticed the shitty video edits to the skin in the spots that were wiped off after using. Very blurry and bad editing. Like yeah, amazing how it remedies all scarring and heals everything, too.

I saw one of their commercials and I was curious af and the entire time I’m thinking “it looks like they sprinkled chia seeds and crushed Oreos on their faces” so now I’m here

[@YummyBaer]

Really, it’s supposed to remove black heads from your face, not look younger. But I appreciate your video. Chia seeds? I hope that is just for the joke. Biori has a product that does something similar but it’s more like a mask that you peel off and you can see the blackheads on the mask when you peel it off. This one is different. If it doesn’t work, that’s bad and it’s great that you’re helping the public. I almost purchased this. Thanks for saving me some money. Kudos to you.

[@selenaprice6034]

Washing your face before you go to bed, and after you wake up with a washcloth that has been dipped in very salty water will help clear up the cystic, acne and whiteheads. I have not tried it on blackheads. I only tried it at all because I always noticed my skin cleared up after a trip to the beach, the salt doesn’t dry my skin out because when I’m finished, I just rinse my face with plain water, but the salt does kill any bacteria in my pores. It will look worse for a couple of days as all of the impurities come to ahead, but after that, you will notice a big improvement I just use the washcloth and a gentle, scrubbing motion in circles clockwise and counterclockwise over my whole face. Let me know if you try this, and if it works for you.
