As someone who literally just discovered your channel this evening, and has now binged approximately ten of your videos in a row, I have got to say: you have got to be one of the kindest, most empathetic, honest, and well-spoken KZbin personalities I’ve ever seen. I love me some snark and shade, but there’s something very refreshing about the way you deliver criticism even in your comedic videos. You always manage to temper your criticisms with empathy and a morally unambiguous sort of humor - I think the key is that I have never once seen you attack or berate a person/creator/company on a personal level, but instead you make in-depth, well-reasoned comments on the specific problematic or dangerous behaviors those people/creators/companies are exhibiting. You don’t make fun of people - you just honestly try to teach them. And while, as I said, I love me some good, old-fashioned snark, there’s just something so incredibly lovely, and genuine, and refreshing about your approach. Basically, all that is to say I’ll definitely be watching your channel from now on. As someone who has always been VERY lazy about my own skin, you have made me want to actually start using a skincare routine. Thank you, both for the entertainment, and for the genuinely informative content!

[@catherinefall2823]

This is why people trust Hyram so much. How many times as a consumer have you bought something only to later find out that your values don’t align with those of the product’s manufacturer? It takes courage to change and grow and better yourself to become a responsible, honest consumer. Love you so much, Hyram. You’re the best x

#1 reason to avoid a skincare brand: they don’t believe their products could cause any problem. That goes against science and is enormously biased.

[@shawneemorris3910]

Exactly! You can have the best and cleanest ingredients on the planet in your products and someone can still have a reaction. People have all kinds of allergies and sometimes they are so random you don't know what they are until you encounter it. Hell, I'm allergic to dental cement!

I told the employee my skin is burning and feels really itchy I think I’m allergic to something in this, and he straight out said that’s impossible . I was shocked. I washed my whole arm and walked out of lush with a horrible allergic reaction on my arm! I don’t use any lush products anymore!

[@revuesdeminuit4071]

[@elieknaizeh]

@@jenathent4840 if formulators were to create products that are designed just to prevent potential irritation, then all products would be mild and catered for sensitive skin only and that's not the majority. Everybody has options and there are beautiful products designed exclusively for persons with sensitive skin and those that aren't and work beautifully for people with resilient skin. Everything in the right concentration can be irritating- even water.

[@carafrey3534]

Worst part is, like you, Caroline has RAVED about DE for years and likely made them tens of thousands, she only disliked this one formula of one product and has been a huge supporter of their products.

Right. And Caroline has a large following. Not wise of DE to act so childish and insulting toward her.

This man right here single handedly took away my acne and changed my skin for the best. If he doesn’t support them, I don’t support them.

[@aisle99fleurs]

I just read your comment here, could you please tell me what products you use? I start using krave barrier relief for my dehydrated skin (because of overexfoliating) and I love it but I still struggle with the acnes because usually the product for acnes is for oily skin

[@Moonlight-mz7mu]

@@aisle99fleurs okay so my skin is very dry so I use a lot of the ordinary products because they are cheap and effective. I used the youth to the people cleanser that is spinach + kale then the Caffeine solution for under eyes, the Hyluronic acid and niacinamide all by the ordinary then I apply this vitamin C serum by tree of life, and then 100% plant derived squalane and then chemical sunscreen. All of these in the AM and in PM I add retinol and lactic acid to the mix. All of these helped get rid of my acne and over improve my skin’s brightness, moisture and made my skin look SOOO good. I also do face masks, I use the peeling solution or salysilic mask by the ordinary! All of which are products I was introduced to by Hyram. I only do masks once a week and I’m separate days. I try not too do it twice a week because the masks are strong and not recommended to do a lot. I usually plan what day of the week I’ll do masks

The arguing is so true. I commented on IG that I had returned Slaai and disliked it and they basically treated me like a troll. I was in complete disbelief that my favorite brand had treated me so nastily.

[@kristinakeller3628]

I would love to see Hyram discuss how certain skincare brands treat their employees. I wish there was more information on this topic, because i think its important to buy skincare that not only treat customers right, but also their employees. From my own personal experience, and from others in the industry, its certainly a taboo topic, and frowned upon to speak up if a brand is mistreating their employees.

I'm a scientist myself and when I used to follow DE still I replied to a comment of another customer, it had something to do with makeup I think. I basically told her that silicones in makeup is fine unless you actually experience irritation or any other type of reaction. That was enough to make their cyber bully chemist jump down my throat and invalidate me and then the owner jumped in and they were both attacking me and basically telling me that I don't know shit. Unfollowed them immediately. I'm so glad I only bought one product from them.

I know this post is old, but sorry that happened to you. It bothers me to no-end when chemists from companies resort to dismissal & bullying. It raises red flags in my mind on them. Like costumer service rep who told Hyram that "silica is not silicone", that's the most pedantic thing to say & raised a big red flag. As I'm sure you know, silica is silicon dioxide, so it still has silicone. I'm an environmental chemist & microbiologist.

And I even said that I don't use silicones in skincare but the owner is all like " you shouldn't wear makeup and if you do it needs to be all natural because you know, the suspicious six" drunk elephant is a fucking cult, man

Hyram! It’s 5am and I’m sitting here breastfeeding a newborn baby, while catching up on KZbin videos. 🤗 I haven’t watched anything in a couple months! This is an interesting topic in the influencer industry-how much should we support a brand? It’s really easy to become aligned with specific brands and products, even when we’re not trying to, because our viewers start to see a trend in our content. The problem with that is, all brands are businesses and it’s hard to guarantee what they’ll do. I love that you’re taking a strong stance. We need more content creators with integrity. And I’m sad to hear you’ve had these experiences with DE. They’re a brand that I tend use a lot also (and PS, I’ve never been sponsored by them either), but it’s a bummer to hear about their customer service. With regards to how they treat influencers, I’m always torn on that. Yes, we’ve been critical in their growth, but the influencer industry has turned into a whole other beast and I’ve seen the damage that influencers can cause a brand too. We don’t know what experiences they’ve had with us! There’s a middle ground for sure and I hope someone from the DE team will reach out to you to at least discuss since you’ve been such a supporter. 🤗

Drunk Elephant has been one of the most over hyped, over priced brand since it came out. It is not worth the amount of money that they charge when you can get the same for WAY less. According to a Cosmetology Dermatologist and Dermatologist, anything over $25 for a product is overpriced and you are just paying for name. The main ingredients in skin care are all the same and can only be shuffled around so much. I listened to Dr.Dray and she saved me so much money and I got the results I needed with out spending ridiculous amounts of money and the hype of the beauty industry, and the fact that beauty gurus don't know jack sh!+ about skincare and cause more harm then good with their sponsorship.
