Reacting to OVERHYPED Skincare Products (Black Skin)

[@lisafiona2543]

I have tried a lot of these products because I used to be a product junkie. I will be 52 this year and I realize that consistency is the key. Vitamin C in the day, Retin at night. Good moisturizer and sunscreen. Eat well and get out the house and walk. Lift some light weights. Drink water 90 % of the time. Or Sparkling water with fruit. No fillers or Botox needed yet. I also use the FOREO Bear. Great video!

I use The Ordinary Niacinamide serum. I love the price point and that it helps control my oils, as I have oily skin. It does not irritate my skin at all. I didn’t even know 10% was considered high because that’s how much it doesn’t cause any irritation for me. However, people say Niacinamide is a great active for uneven skin tone/getting rid of dark marks. I use my Niacinamide every day for months. I’m not really seeing where it helps with discoloration. I wish it could work that way for me. 🥺

I love The Ordinary Niacinamide serum! It's def a holy grail for me. Background - I'm 31 and had always only used Clinique combo-dry cleanser, Clinique exfoliating lotion #2 (the liquid that's similar to a toner), Clinique moisturizer (moisture surge intense or 72-hour hydration - LOVE this), and sunscreen throughout my 20's. I've always had clear, even skin, maybe a blemish around that time of the month but nothing too crazy. Then I turned 30 and my skin changed (small stubborn flesh tone bumps and hyperpigmentation around my mouth), so I decided that I may need to try an active or serum. I tried TO's Niacinamide serum and literally saw results the next morning. I still use it almost everyday, but I notice that if I go longer than 3 days without using it, my dryness and hyperpigmentation makes a grand entrance. I also use TO's Lactic Acid 10% + HA here and there - it's ok I guess. I also use Heritage Store's Rosewater Toner after each skincare step and I LOVE it - another HG! I'm thinking about trying Retinol for prevention but I'm nervous. My mom always says if it aint broke don't try to fix it lol. Do you recommend a Retinol/retinoid for early 30's? The Youth to the People cleanser dried my skin out sooo badly 😫while my skin did feel really clean after using it, it was just WAY too stripping. I actually really love the the Black Girl Sunscreen because it's so moisturizing. I'm really dry in my t-zone and I think the glow makes my skin look healthy. I know, unpopular opinion on this product lol.

[@simplys777]

Right! I like Black Girl Sunscreen for my body only, I wouldn't dare put it on my face. I used it on a recent beach trip and I liked. Now what I liked was Sun Bum sunscreen spray on my body when laying out in sun. Super Goop Unseen Sunscreen... it didn't do much as far as affecting my skin but I want a little moisture and I didn't like the matte look. Sometimes 10% Niacinaminde can cause irritation when using it every day. You really only need about half that in percentage. Try using it once every other day. Also some products and serums already have Niacinaminde in it as first ingredient, so you could be already getting it. I stopped using my pure Niacinaminde daily and only use it when needed bc it caused me irritation as well. Love your videos ❤

I definitely have to give the black girl sunscreen a shot over the winter (most sunscreens aren't moisturizing for me during that time of the year). I wear sunscreen everyday, so I try to look for mineral sunscreen that is friendly towards our water system yet doesn't leave a white cast. I've been recently trying Hero Cosmetics' Force Shield. It's a great, lightweight sunscreen. Blends easily, just doesn't moisturize. The Ordinary Niacinamide I did try. I used about half a bottle. Didn't do anything for me at all. What did help restore my skin barrier (I dehydrated my skin in my late teens-early 20s due to using an acne product that didn't work well with my skin - Desert Essence Thoroughly Clean cleanser; at early 30s, my skin was still really dry when it was initially oily) is Ceramedx Ultra Moisturizing Cream. It contains plant-based ceramides and is like a cruelty-free version of Cerave cream. I've been using it for half a year now and it's my holy grail moisturizer.

[@SophiaDerivan]

I bought the Black Girl Sunscreen & tried it immediately. It came out unbelievably oily. As someone who has oily skin, if I buy something that is supposed to be matte, I need it to be matte. It made my skin look a new level of oily. I use it on the backs of my hands because I paid for it & don’t want it to go to complete waste. I had such high expectations for it, I’m mixed & oily so I thought it was going to become my new go to. Yeah, never mind! Why is it so hard to find matte , cast-less suncream!?!😭

Same. I love everything from The Ordinary. My skin does really well with these products. I love the foundation. Stays on all day. I love Black Girl Sunscreen as well the original formula. I don't love the Matte because of the bottle. I love the kids one for the kids

Cerave was meh for me. My nose area felt dry and my undereyes a bit too. It did moisturise the other parts of my face well (But not as well as Aveeno! That left a healthy glow and the rough areas of my skin felt even less rough with Aveeno. ) but the fact that this cream got so much hype yet it didn't do the job on my nose properly was disappointing. Aveeno was much much better! Try aveeno y'all

[@kaybee9071]

Can we talk about overnight masks though? Are they basically hyped moisturizers? And at one point in your skin care regimen do you use them? Like, would it replace your normal night cream or be in addition to it?

[@uchennaezeani9615]

I think it is has the intention of adding moisture to the skin especially at night. Personally I would use a sleeping mask as my night moisturizer.

[@RPBSpeaks]

A product worth the hype is the Cerave Skin Renewing Night Cream! It is SO good, good! I use it after my retinoid and it protects and conditions my skin.I've never had a negative reaction to any retinoid from low to high strength and my face feels great. Overhyped product - Le Mer Creme! I loved the thick texture and the smell, but for the price it doesn't do much for the skin other than moisturize. I get more beneficial ingredients in my Cerave SRN Cream :) It smells good and feels good, but I don't mix it with actives because of the fragrance and other ingredients. This is such a great video! I've used the IT Cosmetics CC Cream and it was really nice! I liked that they had a shade that worked for me as a black woman, and I don't like heavy makeup. It gives me good coverage that lasts all day. One foundation that disappointed me was the Mented foundation stick. I loved the lipsticks and wanted to love the foundation. It was just too dry and patchy, not easy to apply.

[@mimimoon6082]

First things first, I love your hair!!! You're gorgeous girl!! I have tried a few of the products mentioned. I'd say that both, the Biossance sunscreen and the Pipette were epic failures for me. Both made me looked like the Corpse bride! The Youth to the People cleanser flared up my rosacea and that ain't cool. The cerave moisturizing cream is great to slap on top of my retinol. it has helped with the dryness. The supergoop sunscreens are overhyped and overpriced and the worst thing.... they leave me with a gross white cast. The glow recipe package is pretty and that's where it ends for. I can't get the smell. Oh well. Thank you for creating a wonderful community where we can respect each other's opinions.

BGS gave me a glow like no other BUTTTT it also gave me a mask like no other with Tretinoin

[@ivystrong7203]

I have very dry skin, so I love the original Black Girl sunscreen.

[@mikawallace9509]

I've been using the pipette for some months now and I like it. I think it's better during the cooler months, as it makes me a little shiny during these summer months. But it definitely does leave a cast. The cast intensity depends on how well you rub it in. But if you're a deeper chocolate beauty, it will leave a cast no matter what. I'm more caramel and the first few times I used it, my husband said I look like a ghost and asked if I was bleaching 😳🤦🏽‍♀️😂 I learned quickly to not go so hard so fast and rub it in like my life depended on it and not go too heavy. I was late to the skincare game, so Im on a mission now lol

Thanks again for this great video. Due to you, I now use sunscreen throughout the day and I am consistent putting it on in the morning. I don't even need make up anymore!! The sunscreen leaves me looking moist and healthy. I am 59!! I can't even believe it. I use a toner, vitamin c, a dark spot corrector serum, my moisturizer and then sunscreen. At night I use my toner and retinol most nights . on the nights i give my skin a break from the retinol I just use some argan oil with a lighter moisturizer!! Thanks for helping to keeping me looking youthful!!!!

I tried several high end products but this is what works for me. In my opinion, less is more! The following products are worth the hype: Eminence Organic Skin Care Stone Crop Cleansing Oil (make up remover) CeraVe Hydrating Facial Cleanser (am / pm) Sunday Riley Good Genes All-In-One Lactic Acid Treatment (pm frequency: whenever I feel like my skin needs it) CeraVe PM Facial Moisturizing Lotion (am / pm) Supergoop! Unseen Sunscreen SPF 40 (am)

[@skincarecataloger]

I never even got a chance to try the BGS matte version because it was always sold out at Target. So I tried the kids version, which I like better than the original. It still a bit too emollient, but when my skin is on the dry side, it works. Probably better for colder months. The Biossance & Kinship mineral sunscreens are both good, but the Kinship has a better price point and is less shiny on my face. P.S. I’ve skipped trying Herbivore products after watching that pretty products video.

[@noonooshK]

Cerave Moisturizing cream is a life saver. I have struggled for years with itchy skin. I limit my showers to the shortest amount possible (forget abt taking a bath) and try to only use lukewarm water, but my skin always gets extremely from the moment I get water on my body. It stays itchy. I was recommended this moisturizer by my dermatologist (honestly the best I’ve found in GA after seeing so many). The moment I started using it, I noticed a tremendous change. I make sure to keep my skin moisturized 2-3 times a day and can finally live my life like everybody else. And it doesn’t make my skin feel greasy.

[@palisakelley2167]

Biossance sunscreen is worth the hype. Use it every day. Sometimes I top it up with Colorscience powder sunscreen if it’s a little too shiny. Love Cosrx snail mucin.

[@db-gb5xi]

Love videos like this. My skin care routine is BASIC so it's nice to see what works and what doesn't work for others. Dr Dray is a fan of the BGS kids' version because of the higher SPF. As for the Herbivore bakuchiol, there are videos out there on their bakuchiol not having active bakuchiol (supposedly due to some shortage/problem in the supply chain) and them failing to tell the public...

[@hrhsophiathefirst4060]

I feel personally targeted! Four of these products I had underwhelming or bad experiences. Black Girl left me looking like an oil slick so the Matte part of that name was a fail. Plus the cover exploded in the medicine cabinet! The Ordinary Niacinamide/Zinc was a bust, Super Goop Play 4 times the cost for no reason all over generic at Walgreen. Cerave SPF 50 was scary. I love The Inkey List salicylic face wash is a game changer, the Ordinary salicylic face mask is amazing and the Cerave PM moisturizer with niacinamide and ceramides is just lovely. Thanks for all your work!

[@a.d.w8385]

So because we are black women and POCs over here. I think I know why some of these products fail for so many of us. Our skin takes lower percentages of actives better than higher percentages. So instead of 10% Niacinamide for instance. We should probably be using 5% or lower. Many of us are also sensitive to AHAs and should stick to BHAs and PHAs. In low amounts. I've noticed that many products aren't geared specifically for us.

Pipette gave me deep and hard pimples in places I don't break out. I don't recommend anyone with oily skin use it because uber moisturizing. And it leaves a white cast. They say it replaces bioscience but I actually handle that one much easily.

I love ordinary’s niacinamide serum- I have combination acne prone skin and I find that especially in the summer, my face produces increasingly more sebum then it does in the winter (probably no surprise there). I also have sensitive skin and was quite surprised that actives like this one didn’t freak my shit out too much. I would say for people who do have a reaction to this maybe dilute the product with a moisturizer (couple of drops on top of the cream while in hand) before applying it to your face. I also found that there are some moisturizers that don’t mix well with niacinamide but of course it’s all about trial and error♥️

I'm literally on here looking for a new sunscreen because if one more person asks me why I'm sweating when it's just BGS I'm going to lose it😂. It makes me so oily.

[@tiyyas3022]

Currently testing the BGS original bottle and I do see she’s giving moisturized and a bit oily. But I can mess with it. When I’m home I’m mixing it with the Pipette to tone it down and because I refuse to throw away something I paid for. Several of the ordinary products weren’t so bad for my skin, my issue is I never finish anything within the expiration dates 🤦🏾‍♀️😭

[@seasonedsofisticate1901]

Biossance sunscreen is great. I sometimes want a higher spf so I’ll use their kids version, Pipette when I want the higher spf…and yes, they are made by the same company but the Pipette is much thicker,…not exactly the same formulation of course but very similar.

The Ordinary is definitely overhyped, but it's inexpensive, so I'm not mad at it. I find all sunscreen lotions/creams to be too oily for my very oily skin. I almost gave up on sunscreens, but I found the supergoop mineral powder sunscreen, and I really like it.

I definitely use the ordinary niacinamide and like it. I had Paula’s choice but have run out. I want to try Peter Thomas roths version. I like their products better and notice better results. I have the retinol fusion, mega rich intensive crème, pumpkin enzyme mask, Irish moor mud, 14k gold mask, cucumber gel mask, Unwrinkle eye concentrate, Unwrinkle peel pads, and anti aging cleansing oil. But I do like Paula’s choice 2% bha liquid exfoliant for summer and Paula’s choice advanced replenishment toner in winter.

I have been battling with acne most of my life and I’m finally getting somewhere with my skin care. I wish I knew what was helping lol I use so many different actives and products, not all at once. I just use different things depending on how I feel. I have about 6 or 7 ordinarily products.. I like them all lol

Trying Black Girl Kids sunscreen. It does leave me oily. Tried it because Dr. Dray said it is worth it.

[@belovedshername]

I’m 37. And suffer from mild eczema. It was worst as a child. In addition since my teenage years I’ve always had backnee and hyperpigmentation on my back and upper arms which I carried into adult hood. CeraVe moisturizing cream worked!! It completely cleared my back from breakouts and black spots which I didn’t expect!! I was just looking to use more gentle products on my skin. After CraVe I also used skin fix resurface moisturizer as well, the one in the green tub on my body which also smoothened my skins texture as well. In the past I use to try bleaching creams which did absolutely nothing!!! My face has improved quite a bit. I just have a little hyperpigmentation and need to work on smoothening my skin. That will be my goal this fall.
