Youth to the People Kale + Green Tea Cleanser & Cream Review| Dr Dray

[@j240lkny]

I bought the cleanser in the trial size twice and loved it. I don't wear makeup everyday and have a normal to dry, sensitive, occasional breakout skin type. This has improved the look and feel of my skin, as well as stopped the breakouts. The full size bottle is a bit pricey so I decided to try the Cerave hydrating & Cetaphil gentle cleansers and both made me breakout all over my face. I will be purchasing the YTTP cleanser.

[@querida_2338]

I love their exfoliating toner 😍 and the air whip moisturiser

[@rebecca8866]

Same here! I have the same type of skin you have and absolutely love youth to the people cleanser as well as their face lotion too. Edit: also this face wash is safe on lash extensions too.

[@cdd4248]

YOUTH TO THE PEOPLE IS CRUELTY FREE. This is extremely important to me in making my skincare decisions. And, why is everyone in this thread bashing Hyram? Dr. Dray and Hyram both have a place in skin care education and both have a great deal to contribute. Apples and Oranges.

I've been using the Youth to the People products since February and I really love them. I do use Jordan Samuels Hydrating Serum first, then the YTTP moisturizer. I also really like the cleanser, but I use a microfiber facial wash cloth with it to remove the cleanser. Sorry to hear the negative review, but respect your opinion.

[@cv3083]

“Sorry to hear the negative review, but respect your opinion.” Such a thoughtful and refreshing response!

That's why I like watching people's review videos like this so I can have the ideas if I want to spend my money on the products like this

[@setarehlessan8378]

I've experienced no stinging from this product at all. That's so strange. I also find that it's so effective in removing my sunscreen and makeup. I tested it a few times to see if I ever had any residue after using it. It's been excellent for me. But still really appreciate her knowledge.

I have just bought the cleanser a few days ago and have loved using it. So think I will repurchase. It feels so nice and smells lovely.

It truly helped my 56+ skin. The way it lathers it is amazing. 👏🏾 They whole line help me with texture, hyperpigmation, discoloration, and glow. You have to find what works for you at the end of day. It is not dying on my face.

[@kaitlynnglennie9622]

I love this cleanser but I don’t use it to remove makeup. It’s the only one that doesn’t dry out my skin and makes it feel clean. Also this cleanser is cruelty free, vegan and clean certified by Sephora.

[@alanyu7732]

the clean stuff by Sephora is just bullshit marketing that's mostly scaremongering (watch dr. dray's video about clean beauty), but it's a nice cleanser that it's vegan and cruelty free, but definitely overpriced.

Sofia Reis not sure exactly what the original poster meant, but maybe this is referring to if one is using a micellar water to remove eye make up only? 3 full cleanses is a little much, but technically using a micellar water for eye make up only would be considered its own step 🤷🏼‍♀️

I would looove a video on parabens! So many people freak out over them. I'd also love a video on "all natural" products (if you don't already have one). I know so many people who believe all natural means zero allergens, zero preservatives when even natural products need some sort of preservative and many natural ingredients and minerals can cause reactions. Cheers to a great week!

[@DrDrayzday]

[@faethy]

I use youth to the people's cleanser because all their packaging is biodegradable. And the cleanser is made out of actual recyclable materials. I agree I don't love how it is cleansing compared to the my pyunkang yul acne or ato cleanser but I'd rather buy an 8oz that will last me an entire school year and won't stay in the planet forever before it degrades.

[@nixtaylor89]

For someone who has given up on skincare because of skincare ptsd, "Youth of the People" has definitely renewed my faith in skin care (well specifically Hyram coz his channel introduced me to this product). I've just started using these products and OMG they have been amazing on my problematic skin. It has definitely helped me through my skincare PTSD. I totally respect the fact that it isn't for everyone but it has done wonders for me and I can't be more happy with their products. I have oily combo with sensitive and acne prone skin and so far my skin has been behaving. My bf and my friends have even commented on how glowy my skin has been looking as of late. It has renewed my faith in the skincare industry!

I really thought the YTTP cleanser would get a positive review since you liked the Krave Matcha Hemp cleanser. Edit: and now you brought out the Krave cleanser! Haha

[@amillymiles]

My skin has actually really reacted well to this cleanser! If I ever wear make up I typically use the squalane cleanser from the ordinary as a 1st step. I do have oily/combination skin so this might be why my skin doesn't feel dry at all and no stinging at all. I don't buy into the anti aging or antioxidant claim, so I appreciate your honest review! I do like supporting YTTP due to their vegan, cruelty free, and sustainable packaging. All in all great video!

[@brittanytaylor2863]

I’ve used cerave it has always broken me out and makes my skin dry and irritated. I decided to try this YTTP cleanser from a recommendation and I love it. My skin feels so soft my pores are smaller my black heads are becoming less noticeable and the skin texture is even. I was using Tatcha rice wash and that did nothing and it let me down for the price of the face wash. I always use my boscia oil cleanser before removing any make up or sun screen no matter what cleanser I’m using. Thanks for the review!

I'm about a year late on this video I wanted to share my experience with this cleaner. I had a tough time finding a cleanser for my combination/oily skin with a lot of congestion. I've tried cerave ( I still use the SA cleanser once or twice a week when I feel my skin needs it, it's too drying to use everyday) I've tried drunk elephant farmacy clinique, they all irritated my skin. I got a sample of the YTTP cleanser and found it great using it after an oil cleanse. It is a light gel cleanser but as a second step it works great, I really think it help with my overall complexion, could be the green tea. I dont mind the fragrance since I'm washing it off anyways. Just my two cents, thanks for the informative video !

[@PM.0000]

Thank you for the Youth to the People review. I would stay away from a cleanser that stings the eyes and dries out the skin. The name itself implies gimmick. The price is off the charts! I think when a skin care company wants to produce a good product they should consult a good dermatologist first. It would be a selling point for me. So happy you are here to set us straight!

Dr. Dray, Oh My God!! I found your KZbin channel accidentally yesterday (my birthday!) while on the bus watching other videos. I could kick myself! I normally use Cetaphil cleanser, Cerave moisturizer, Paula's Choice SPF 50 in the day and I just leave out the SPF and add prescription Duac and Retin A on different nights. I heard about Youth to the People (YTTP) products at Sephora and stupidly fell for the hype!! I purchased that Kale Spinach cleanser, moisturizer and eye cream! Youth to the People sounded "better" than the "simple" products I was using. Ugghhh. Fast forward just 2 weeks and my skin is so incredibly dry. I thought my oily, acne-prone skin was just "adjusting" to a new and better product and would have continued using YTTP, but then I saw this excellent review. Unbelievable! As of last night I stopped using the Youth to the People stuff and have gone back to my "simple" routine; so much money wasted. Anyway, I am so very happy I found you. I will subscribe and proceed to watch all of your videos. Thank you so much for the very unexpected birthday gift! I am very happy that I found you.

Silicone for instance is not frowned upon for being problematic for the skin, but for microplastic pollution of the water, just like Polyester, Elasthane and such in clothes. That's why brands with a more natural or sustainable branding tend to avoid it.

[@madyxd8711]

Great video! I was wondering when you could do another vlog in walmart or target and talk about Shea Moisture's skincare products!

[@DrDrayzday]

i have a video coming out soon in walmart, but i dont spend much time on these products as they mostly contain fragrance and laundry lists of plants

[@asassysenior1085]

Good video! I see note about that Neutrogena hydroboost is a "Humectant gel creams (go under moisturizing creams)". This surprised me as I had started using it in the morning as day moisturizer under my sunscreen. Are you saying I need to add an additional moisturizer? thanks so much!

[@DrDrayzday]

your sunscreen is your moisturizer...so you are doing it right and dont need to add anything

[@asassysenior1085]

thanks so much!

[@juliebarnes7425]

Scratching this one off my list! Thx for another great review! Happy Monday!

[@DrDrayzday]

:)

[@avayu2289]

You failed to mentioned Aloe which is one of the important ingredients with hyaluronic acid. I get lasers for my hyperpigmentation and this products worked really well. Those of us sensitive skinned people need this type of product. You should just speak on your behalf in terms of efficacy NOT recommending or criticize this as a PSA for others! La Mer in the other hand is a total rip off!

[@heatherva]

She's saying that people with sensitive skin *might* develop sensitivities to the added fragrances in these products

[@staceynoffke]

Could you review the Pixi Glow Tonic from Target. So many beauty gurus love it & I would love to know if it's a good product. Thanks! 💗

[@christinewacko]

It’s filled with fragrance. Not good.

[@angelasandiego1271]

I love the Pixi Glow Tonic, I’ve only started using it but love it.

[@lexirianne1195]

I really enjoy YTTP products as I appreciate what the brand stands for since I am vegan. I use these two products, but I agree with them being potentially drying. I however use the cleanser in a double cleanse following a balm or as my morning cleanser. I follow up the cream with a more occlusive thick cream like eucerin because I like to layer it. But I much more prefer the YTTP aptogen cream!

[@kiritikiriti1615]

The video content is so excellent, congratulations

[@juliegagnon6446]

Very honest, professional and humorous product review of Youth to the People. You’ve always on point.

[@DrDrayzday]

Thanks!

[@Emily-gi3go]

I've been using those two products for about a week and I wanted to love them I really did but I just can't. I have very sensitive skin and these products irritated and dried my skin out. My skin feels rough and flakey on my cheeks now. And in all honesty I think the price point of Youth to the People is a bit too high for me. It just didn't work out for me.

[@preciselyavri7944]

Welp i guess ill pass on this!! i knew i felt fragrance!!!! like omg. I guess ill go back to my Vanicream line like u said and also my own Dermatologist!!! Thank you for this.

[@terrilynn8770]

Hi Dr Dray ..have you ever tried the cleanser Aquation. I have found it is close to CeraVe and a lot less expensive. It is produced in Dallas Texas. Thanks for your comments.

[@DrDrayzday]

yes, i like it

[@MelTheMuppetslayer]

Dr dray, I know this comment is much later, and doesn’t have anything to do with this product persay (though I’m in pursuit of a great cleanser). I have a question. 36f hormonal acne especially along jaw line, combo skin, long time neglect so skin is congested, melasma. I’m hoping you could provide a suggestion. I bought a travel size bottle of the cerave foaming cleanser. I enjoyed it but found it to be a bit drying on my cheeks and forehead especially with higher zinc sunscreen. I am just about out of that. So I bought the hydrating cleanser (full size bottle) I am interested in doing a 2 step cleanse. Would the hydrating cleanser be considered the second cleanse or the first? Could you suggest a product that would partner with that in the cleansing process. Also adding that I wear a mask for 8 hours a day without air conditioning. I appreciate any input. Thank you so much!

[@cherrybloom3397]

I never had a stinging around my eyes and it's not made to remove makeup or treat anything specific. I have very sensitive skin and I have no problems with it. It's the only cleanser that hasn't stripped my skin. No need to bash it just because it didn't work for you.

[@liseerenee]

Dr. Dray, thank you for educating me about fragrance allergy/sensitivity. At 51, the light has come on!💡But I need some lip COLOR and finding this for my extremely sensitive lips is difficult. Could you do a drugstore vlog on this?

[@DrDrayzday]

no lipstick is going to be good

[@salomeguzman8611]

Try Bite. I have super dry, sensitive lips and this does the trick. Steep but they last forever. Skip if lanolin is a concern. Burt's bees has some lip sticks that might be good too!

[@davida4007]

Thanks so much for the review, Dr. Dray. I tend to be skeptical about green tea in a cleanser since it only stays on for a minute at the most anyway. What's your professional advice on that?

[@DrDrayzday]

there is some data to support green tea leave on products, but not much for the cleanser vehicles...i think it can potentially work because i don't think the free radical scavenging effects are very long lasting, so i question if leaving it on is necessary, but no studies to support that as of yet

[@moda0222]

Hi Dr Dray I live for your reviews. Mostly because you can break down the efficacy (or lack of) in a clinical sense. I use and like YTTP as well as Krave products because they are pretty simple. I prefer a simpler (ingredient) regimen because I don't like mixing too much with the Tretinoin I use for my acne. Thanks again for your professional opinion.

[@universemilkshake7695]

I find this video very helpful. I know this isn’t my place to say it, but I hope you find help, and heal

[@deborahmac1997]

Love watching these , mostly to see whats out there. Cerave Hydrating Cleanser is my tried and true though. I use tretinoin and I do like to apply First Aid Beauty ultra repair cream a couple of times per week over it. I would love your thoughts on this product. The only iffy ingredient which is the last one is eucalyptus leaf extract.

[@elisamalo]

What would you recommend as a sort of "anti-aging" face routine? which products? I used YTTP this year and the face wash wasn't so good just like you described, but the face moisturizer I did like...I want to try new products since these are almost over! thanks :)

[@DrDrayzday]

sunscreen (that is is)

[@elisamalo]

yeah sure! but any other product recommendations for the previews steps?

[@bebeagapi7728]

Dr. What about the adaptogen moisturizer?

[@thilbert17]

I was looking at this brand trying to find a cleanser without plastic packaging. Any recommendations?

[@Nina-cd6uw]

That's exactly why I bought it, as a second cleanser after my oil cleansing (oil often comes in glass bottles), and I personally love it! There is a cleanser by Osea out there packaged sustainably, but the price point is quite steep. Realistically, many claims of YTTP are trash, but Dr Dray is bashing it quite a bit here. Her precious Cerave products do not only come packaged in plastic, they are packed with silicones. I think usually with low waste skincare products, you kind of need to sacrifice efficiency for the packaging and "naturalness" of the product, which I can't implement in my life, I want to care for my skin. So I'm very glad for this silicone free glass packaged skincare, I bought the tiny YTTP Cleanser size for about 10€ to try it and it lasts a while, works well as a SECOND cleanser to remove the oily residue of the first cleanse. I'd recommend you just try it for yourself, Dr Dray can comment that it did nothing for her and that the claims are ridiculous, but if you don't care about the claims and just want a decent second cleanser in a glass bottle then go ahead and just try a small size.

[@amandaf5664]

I picked up Soon Jung 5-Panthensoside Cica Balm by Etude House the other day. It has Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract in it but I didn't buy it just for that. I was looking for a heavy duty moisturiser and you once mentioned the Cica Balm from LRP which has fragrance in it. I haven't been using this Soon Jung product long enough to give it some serious testing out but so far I am really enjoying it. No breakouts and seems to keep my face nice and moisturised but not oily (I use it at night only). It's too early to tell if the green tea is shrinking my pores :). Thanks for the vid and yes, I would love to hear more about about myth busting parabens, silicones, alcohol and well, everything you can teach us of course.

[@DrDrayzday]

i need to try that...i like soon jung line

[@leenmarier5729]

I sometimes use the Clinique Moisture Surge Hydrating Supercharged Concentrate as a humectant and personally think it goes on better than the Hadalabo gel. I still need to try Hydroboost. Curious how they will compare. Clinique is pricey however...

[@DrDrayzday]

the clinique one is decent

[@EpicSince2o1o]

The krave cleanser contains Coco-Betaine (Cocamidopropyl Betaine).

[@andregomes3804]

Is it ok to not wash your face with SPF at night? I always wear sunscreen now. every single day. But sometimes I Forget/am too lazy to wash it off when I dont need it (before bed). Sometimes I get a very small pimple(I think it´s because I leave the product on my face) but its rare enough that I dont really care. I also dont need extra moisture, my skin fine except in winter or dry climates, so I dont really have a "night routine" right now besides washing sometimes. Should I be concerned by not cleansing every day? Washing is just washing, I dont mind to be dirty if it doesnt affect my skin health, lol.

[@DrDrayzday]

yes

[@machupikachu8349]

I’ve read reviews from some people that state that the vanicream cleanser dried out their skin, but I would also like your opinion. Would you recommend it for people with dry skin?

[@DrDrayzday]

yes....soap is drying though, in general and washing less frequently is the most basic step in approaching dry skin

[@meynelyne5570]

I thoughy the cleanser is fragrance free. Wait im confused

[@loadeddiperz]

Hyram loves this 🥺

[@mongoose.0819]

Just bought their kit for dry skin, I'm hoping it helps with my dry irritated skin, however this review makes me nervous. 🤔🤔🤔

[@williamyoung4888]

How was it

[@mongoose.0819]

William Young it was so-so. Wasn’t moisturizing enough for me, also wasn’t the best for my sensitive skin.

[@auroralee7451]

Thank you for the information. I was considering buying the moisturizer, but will definitely be going with something else. I have very sensitive skin and used to have cystic acne and do not want to damage or aggravate my skin in anyway.

[@hummingbirdlvr5189]

Hi Andrea! Would you please go into more detail regarding sulfates, parabens, mineral oil, and silicones? I have been lead to believe that these products are not good for you, but you say that they are not problematic. Thank you so much for all of your very helpful videos! ♥

[@DrDrayzday]

stop believing misleading advertising

[@Poopstain0989]

I guess every skin is different but out of literally dozens and dozens of face washes..high end, drugstore...this is the only one that I've seen benefits with other than just cleaning my skin 🤷🏻‍♀️ no breakouts, evened skintone etc.
