there’s someone who asks for matt to play the unfinished swan on every gt and gtlive vid. they’ve been early on every vid for 72 days so could you please consider a gtlive on it before matt goes?
As most dermatologists on youtube recommends: Keep it simple. Cleanse, moisturerise and sunscreen. Everything else are bonus but the basics are all that really matter ✨
As a guy, keep in simple, 3 in one body wash /shampoo/conditioner and water. Edit: 1 this is a joke. 2 skin includes areas not on one’s face like their hands, legs, and torso. So caring for one’s skin by washing one’s body is technically skin care.
You can literally just get a moisturiser with spf in it too. For anyone that has acne reading this, literally only wash your face with warm/hot water and apply moisturiser thinly so your pores don’t get anymore clogged up!
my mother was a dermatologist and she hated her job as she was criticized for having low returning customers. She called out the terrible skin brands and warned her customers that the tester products generally provide better results. the different skin types do require different care but ultimately spf and washing your skin is the bare minimum you need.
Walking and any sports, staying out in the morning sun, hide inside at noon, eat a balanced diet unless you're a viking warrior. Pretty simple but we all fail to follow through
I looked at this and I'm like.. no wayyyyy. I went up and analyzed it and it's using fomo, scare tactics, create a problem and offer the solution... Everything in the book right as it criticizes the big money hungry corporations for doing it
@gamingchannelofthefatboigo2595 there's nothing wrong with him supporting his team. Matpat is awesome. I just found it funny how it parallels and it felt like an intentional yet subtle touch of humor
To be fair, VPNs actually DO help, they just aren't necessary. The everyday person probably doesn't need one, but they do have helpful tools (like using streaming services in different countries) that actually DO work. Sometimes (depending on the product) the skincare product won't do anything at all. They ARE different.
I feel like one of the biggest scams are when they give you a timeline for when you will actually notice effects but a single(really expensive) purchase won't last that long.
Like a single container gives you two weeks worth of recommended use, but it takes 6 weeks to begin to see results and 10 weeks to reach maximum results. By 10 weeks in would you even remember what your skin looked like before starting the product?
I’ve always had bad skin, especially acne, and I was tired of trying all the expensive stuff. The subliminal affirmations on borlest have honestly been the one thing that’s made a real difference. My skin feels so much better now.
I always thank my old history teacher because he would give us pretty useful lectures whenever we were ahead of the curriculum. (He taught us how to do our taxes for example.) And I will always remember when he said that TV Marketing for anything you see being sold can be one of the hardest scams you can be exposed to because of all the tactics they use.
This was more of a video on skincare marketing rather than skincare ingredients (how the molecules and skin cells work etc etc) so this video alone doesn't feel like it's debunked the videos of chemists like lab muffin or licensed dermas like Dr. Dray. Would love to see matpat's thoughts on this, but I doubt it's feasible. Ig that's the sort of thing consumers have to research and decide on our own (and maybe even by going to actual irl dermas)
@@PegeNoe they wouldn't but because there is nothing wrong with this video. It doesn't try to disprove retinoids, it's just the marketing for other products. It also tells you that sunscreen is the most important thing which is true.
My only issue with this episode saying at the end is "all you need is sunscreen" is you do need to cleanse your skin. Now that can be with something as simple as a bar of soap. But you do need to wash your skin. Especially if you've putting sunscreen on it or if you're putting makeup on it. I would also say you probably should moisturize your skin. Now that moisturizer can be the cheapest dollar store cream there is. Now if you're ok with a little dryness from using that bar of soap, go for it, just soap and sunscreen. No need for the serums and all but you probably want soap
I agree. The way i would put it is if you're young and have normal skin, washing your face, moisturizing, and sunscreen will give like 90% of the benefits of skincare. Everything else can help, but don't worry about it if you already aren't wearing sunscreen everyday.
Alright, you say that, but like: why? Why do you assert that one *does* need to cleanse one's skin? I'm not trying to fight you, just to be clear, I just want better argued assertions, considering I myself, a guy, use a facial cleanser everyday.
This whole video was bad. A man speaking for a woman, taking away from women’s voices. There are multiple females that could have spoke. Not even his wife gets a line.
i’m not all the way thru the video yet so i’ll likely edit this comment- but i HIGHLY reccomend seeing a dermatologist if you have genuine concerns about your skin. they’re more likely to suggest products that not only work, but are targeted for you personally. my doctor reccomended me a moisturizer 10 years ago, and i’ve used it ever since. no silly little tiktok shop products
Thus is facts. I greatly improved the look of my face by actually washing it daily, that's all the extra love it needed, but for extra things like skin conditions and acne issues it's best to go to a professional to help understand your skin instead of turning to trends.
Prescription skincare is great and often covered by insurance. I pay about $10 for each of my products, all of which last for months or years and are far, far more effective than the OTC stuff.
True. I recently saw one and found out my issues are an autoimmune condition. I've easily spent 10 times more than the dermatologist bill over the last 15 years to try to fix things when there's no cure. All I can do is try to get comfortable and try to fend off flare-ups. I just thought I wasn't moisturizing my very dry skin right. :I
@@ohnoes423 the point is that it's personalized for their skin, it's probably perscription. you'd need to see a dermatologist so they can tell you what to get for your specific skin, because everyone's skin is different
hes not talking about what you are doing exactly lol and if he you are doing case studies that dont even have proper control variables then no, you aren't working in science
One of the biggest issues I had when I was in high school was hormonal acne. The worst thing about it was that every cream, gel, face wash, moisturizer, you name it, that my mom would buy me at the store, or my dermatologist prescribed me to use, did NOTHING because my issue wasn't solvable topically. It was so hard seeing all the ads that talked about these products that were supposed to fix my skin, and little did I know, none of them solved the problem I was facing. Now I'm a little older, my hormones have leveled out, and all I use is bar soap, a basic cream, and sunscreen and my skin has never looked better. Infuriating.
At what age did your hormonal acne start and end? I had acne in middle school but went away once I started using skin care. That worked until my senior year where I had just a complete breakout all year where nothing worked for me and just recently started to heal (slowly).
The hormones are just making the skin more oily and prone to acne, so topical treatments can help if done effectively. But they can only help. No product is going to stop acne altogether or prevent it from getting worse during certain times of the month. The marketing saying that their products will fix or stop acne completely are an outright lie.
Same. My acne was awful during 12-17. Tried all the topical options. When I got into college and just used bar soap. They went away. My skin is even clearer now than my friends that didn't have acne in highschool.
I’ve had acne for over a decade now, and subsequently have been trying new skincare on a regular basis for a decade trying to get rid of it. My experience has been that salicylic acid does nothing for me, benzoyl peroxide sort of works but dries my skin out pretty bad, and moisturizer actually is important in that situation. The other thing I’ve discovered is that learning what the common ingredients in skincare products do and what research backs them up can help a lot in figuring out what products will work for you.
I've noticed that some benzoyl products are a lot more drying than others. I'm using PanOxyl benzoyl wash, and it's working very well for me without being overly drying (but I also have oily skin). I also started using a tea tree moisturizer, and that seems to be helping too (I follow it up with a different moisturizer during the winter). You don't see tea tree on store shelves a lot, so it might be an ingredient you haven't tried yet
The only thing that got rid of mine was prescription tretinoin cream, I tried so so many products. Granted I never resorted to chemical peels or accutane but they were next if tret didn’t work. Only thing is that it can be very drying at times. It depends on your skin of course but Ive been using it for ten years now and for me its worth having to apply a little more moisturizer.
About Scientifism, recently French industry Guerlain tried releaseing a skincare product that they advertised as quantic. "Quantic effects that will renew the light of your skin..." They've been called out for false advertisment by a youtuber day 1 and all mentions of quantic suddenly disapeared from their website
"Quantic" as in "Quantum"? Well I guess they technically weren't wrong then. "This product MAY or MAY NOT make your skin look better. But to know for sure, buy it for like, 3 months straight!"
Ok but for the record, retinol is an extremely well studied ingredient and is almost universally backed by dermatologists. Listing "confusing ingredients" isn't just to confuse consumers, they actually do serve specific purposes.
Same for aids for skin types, I have strawberry skin, and the Cerave SA lotion actually helped minimize it a lot. So it's all about educating yourself and ensuring you're solving real problems with real solutions instead of made-up ones. Like shrinking your pores and getting rid of your oily skin. (These are made up ones btw)
Yeah plenth of stuff doesn't work as advertised but I see so many comments in here getting the validation they wsnt in here to say it doesn't work when it does
I also found out that under legislation that came into force in the European Union at the end of 2023, there will be restrictions on the concentration of retinol in over-the-counter products, including retinol serums and moisturisers. As they found out some negative effects in higher concentration or over use. They recommend the other form know as retinal also. EU being as always careful.
It is a bit of a simplistic approach tbh. Whilst some of the points made in this video are true, it is very one-sided and lacks objectivity. There are a lot of products that really tackle actual skin conditions, such as rosacea, neurodermitis, psoriasis.... I have an extremely dry and sun sensitive skin that is as well rosacea-prompt and I can assure you that some drugstore products have actually benefited my overall skin balance. This has a huge impact of my self confidence. I used to have chronic skin inflammation (rosacea) with patches of flaky dry skin and now my skin is beautiful thanks to diligent skin care.
I have acne, and I can tell a difference when I skip out on my skincare routine and when I'm diligent with it. My skin is clearer and feels better overall.
@sophiamagdalena111 I use azelaic acid from The Ordinary to calm the inflammation, a tri ceramid cream to strengthen the skin barrier from the German brand DM and a sunscreen SPF 50 from Clinique as I have noticed that sun rays trigger my rosacea.
I feel like if anyone wants to get a skin care routine, visiting a dermatologist is always the first step, consulting an expert is always useful and can actually tell you what stuff your face needs
Dermatologist told my mum that in all those fancy creams with special ingedients it's actually the most basic ingredients that were discovered to work long ago. like how realistic is that they discover so often the new magical ingredients for new launch of new skin care set of creams. I haven seen so many different commercials about new miraculous ingredient. Mostly it's just marketing.
@@AcinnnScience did become much more efficient in recent times due to easy access to research papers over the internet and also because of powerful computers (and more recently deep learning), but yeah, there's no way miracle medicine will appear only in ads and not in news articles or anything else. If something groundbreaking is discovered, you will probably hear about it from sources other than the manufacturer; for example, you've probably heard of ozempic or semaglutide, a medicine which decreases your appetite, and it sounds great when obesity is rising. I would argue that it's not an ideal solution to obesity, as it usually stems from bad dietary choices, but if the patient doesn't do anything about it (which is how you get to obesity in the first place), then cutting their appetite is probably the best solution.
@@Acinnn lets remember the usa is SUPER old school about skincare to this day... the usa is super old school even about fps. they're SO late compared to new findins.
@@AcinnnThey're implying the foreign brands are actually finding new ingredients that work. Which isn't true, most foreign brands basically use the same new ingredients
Yeah, considering he just primed us to be aware of the marketing scare tactic, the NordVPn ad made me instantly pause the video and think about that odd juxtaposition :D Tells us, we have a problem we are not always aware we might have and sells us the solution. (not debating the issue if privacy is a relevant issue here or not, though)
To be honest it feels like all advertisements TH-camrs shill out in their videos nowadays feel like scams. Nord feels like a very common one with very little convincing evidence to say their product works, but maybe I just haven't been looking in the right places
I'm going to miss Matpat, I grew up with him and he's just leaving so soon but he's growing old just like us and I hope everyone can remember him for the person he is.
Thank you for making this video. I'm an esthetician and even I feel like this skin care craze is ridiculous. Most of the products that are hyped up literally do nothing or anything better than the next product. I've always though the Vitamin C thing was bs even while I was working in a spa. I personally love using glycolic acid. It actually does all these things that some of these products claim to help but this can't be true because these are topical creams that effect the first layer of skin when those issues are deep rooted into your dermis.
All I can say as a skincare enthusiast is that before getting tretinoin, I had painful cystic acne. Other than that I use a very basic moisturizer so I don't feel dry. And I've been using aha and glycolic acid on my scar from a car accident and my Ortho said it looked 5 years healed in 6 months
@@lorenzo6777The only side effect could be from tretinoin. Use it to make cistic acne go away, and then stop using it for at least 6 months, so your skin doesn't get burns.
basically all you need is a cleanser that’s right for your skin, a moisturizer, and a sunscreen. all of these products (and ‘trusted’ brands) are available at places like target and walmart. this is just for protection/cleaning. all the other stuff are add ons and you probably don’t really need them.
@@wabbitwabbit98 if I recall correctly, when your lips are dry. It a signal from your body you need to increase in your water intake. I started drinking more water whenever this occurs and I usually feel my lips become less dry.
@@RazoraWorld there can be 2 different reasons for dry lips, one is that they are not hydrated enough from within, this is what you have mentioned, the second is that they are being dried out by the environment. If you are out a lot in a windy cold weather no amount of water will help your dry lips, but the protective layer of Vaseline will give your lips a chance to regenerate, or it will prevent it from drying out in the first place.
Some retinoids are scientifically backed and FDA regulated. Adapalene (sometimes referred to as brand name Differin), is in fact FDA regulated and often sold in the skincare isle. I do however, personally stay away from retinol cosmetics, which are the versions not regulated. That and sunscreen are the only cosmetic drugs that have a robust body of evidence for anti-aging and acne.
I second adaptalene. It was drastically effective for me. But you have to understand that it takes months for your skin to adjust to it. You have to very slowly build up to daily use. And it might make your acne worse originally because it will speed up acne that was developing. But after months of daily use, the results are great! I have much less acne now and most of my scars have faded.
@@LucyBashikIt's not absolute BS to be skeptical about studies by companies that aren't public. It's not completely obvious why it is like this, and there is some degree of truth
@@LucyBashik so is the are Ads the main point of this is be skeptical with ads basically and nothing wrong with being skeptical with skin care related just ask some dermatologist what they'd recommend
What really makes me sad is to see 10 year olds or even 6 year olds worried about wrinkles and aging. I was playing with Barbie dolls at that age, and drawing on the walls and carpet (i had to clean it up after, and i did without complaining) At 10 you only need at most sunscreen and maybe face soap and moisturizer if you have any skin conditions. At 6, sunscreen. That’s it. Once you enter teenage years go for whatever your skin type is but you don’t need something to prevent wrinkles when you won’t have them for at least another decade (or more)
I needed sunscreen for my facial scars and I usually put it in just those areas and/or wore a hat. Normalize hats for sun protection! Bring back hats in fashion! ☀️🧢👒
I just applied moisturizer because I have eczema. I literally had to get baby powdered, and later probably, Noxema'd just because I had eczema since babyhood.
@@kitty79eryeah but these companies are using tik tok and reels to specifically target children. Like more than ever before. They're using a mix of influencers and targeted ads to, well target, young children.
Buy one! It's cheap so you don't got a lot to loose if you'd like to try it. I use it as a night cream sometimes & in the next morning my skin feels nice and hydrated 😊
Be careful... Ponds ruined my skin. I got cystic acne after using both the cold cream and their moisturizer. This was 2 years ago and I'm still struggling with it to this day! It sucks!!!
Sunscreen is literally the biggest thing I recommend to ppl starting a skincare routine but it's always met with pushback. 🤦 Everyone wants a magical serum that does it all or thinks a stack of expensive products has to be better. But the best solution is also the simplest.
I want to start but don't know when to apply? Once in the morning? Cause most say reapply every 2-3hrs and that seems like a lot in a day. Or should I just put it on before going outside even if most of it is just walking to class or driving?
@@melethnin4714 Don't spread misinformation "Cell phones emit low levels of non-ionizing radiation when in use. The type of radiation emitted by cell phones is also referred to as radio frequency (RF) energy. As stated by the National Cancer Institute, "there is currently no consistent evidence that non-ionizing radiation increases cancer risk in humans." This is like the whole microwave scare in the 90's.
Reminds me of that one 4chan thread where a guy used head'n shoulders shampoo on his face ironically and it actually cleared his skin better than all other dedicated skin care products ....
@@pentilex4338 i merely recounted what i read , i did not acknowledge nor deny the claim , the first rule of the internet is to never trust anyone so ...
@@pentilex4338 It's probably true. Most standard skincare ingredients aren't going to do anything about fungal or hormonal acne, but a product specifically designed to deal with fungal overactivity will, which H&S is. There are skincare products with pyrithione zinc or ketoconazole that aren't full of surfactants that are too irritating and drying for the face, but sometimes you make do with what you can get locally.
He probably had fungal acne. Dandruff shampoo like head and shoulders has Zinc pyrithione which may treat fungal acne. But it won’t likely work if you have bacterial acne or traditional acne I heard.
I am a licensed esthetician who has pretty dry skin and my skincare routine is Cleanser, hydrating serum, moisturizer and spf if it’s the morning and I try to exfoliate my skin 2 times a week. adding anything else to my routine actually causes me to break out more because it’s too many products for my skin to handle.
@@TabbyeLynne Exfoliating twice a week is not necessarily excessive. And why would you regret it? Chemical exfoliants have the potential to induce collagen formation.
Also a licensed cosmologist here (I have dedicated esthetician training as well) and my routine is nearly exactly the same. My skin is more oily however so I don't add the extra hydrating serum. But I especially agree on the using too many products can backfire front.
Tretinon and highly active retinols definitely work. Sunscreen is skincare and nobody argues about that. AHAs are also effective and you will avoid irritation and damage if you keep moisturised. Yes, you don’t need exotic and expensive pots of stuff but dermatologists all recommend the basics. BTW Vaseline is still a hero product.
I had very problematic skin so I always thought i needed more and more skincare. I recently made my skincare routine much simpler and focusing on the basics plus giving the my skin the actives it actually liked and my skin looks better. Plus sleep is very important for skin health.
I just love how MatPat tells us all the marketing cheats skin care companies do then use the same ones to sell a VPN for those who did not do enough research in IT Security to understand it.
@@not_a_cat1392 idk about "IT security", but you definitely don't need a VPN to be safe on your computer, especially on Windows, Windows Defender is more than enough.
@@not_a_cat1392 for starters, the fear mongering that not using a VPN exposes you to hackers or Man in the Middle attacks. This is not true at all. Tom Scott did a video about VPNs. Go watch it and you'll be well educated.
@@IhavethekenergyVPNs dont actually "protect" your data. If you are downloading some shady files, using a VPN, you will still get viruses. All what they do is make you appear as if you are connecting from somewhere else. This helps making it harder to track you, but won't make you 100% immune. Keep in mind that your data is now going through that VPN company, so this is another risk factor as well. An example of that would be one of the hackers that hacked Sony couple years ago. He was caught through his VPN company reporting him for suspicious activity. Keep in mind that VPN was actually paid and promised to keep user's anonymity.
Hmmm I dunno. When I learned to double cleanse and use niacinamide, salicylic acid etc., I stopped getting acne. Also, my dermatologist recommended retinol and niacinamide
Azelaic acid 10%, niacinamide, Willow Bark water (BHA), Panthenol ampules, Micelar water (based on Coco glucoside, a very mild natural soap) has helped me stop my 22 year battle with seborrhea, acne, open wounds. And oh did I try everything else before that...
@@OcarinaOfTime it helps dry out my face. Less oil = less clogged pores = less acne PS. My derma also said STOP using moisturizer because I don’t need it with my oily skin type and the humidity in my country, so she’s very picky about what products you use depending on your skin type, other factors etc.
I only use adapalene as an active treatment for my face, and protection by using sunscreen everyday, moisturize by using basic cerave and yet i get flawless skin, actually there's no need for other thing if u really knew it
Yeah, but it's still true that girls were married off young because dying in childbirth was pretty common and the high child death rates meant it usually took multiple pregnancies to get one kid that survives to adulthood. Note that the average age of women dying was lower than the average age for men while nowadays it's the other way around. That's because our understanding of medicine has improved so doctors are more likely to keep an expectant mother alive.
Thank you, truly, for this theory. I'm so fed up with friends telling me that I should follow their 50-step skincare routine for my skin to look as bright as theirs. Also, this skincare obsession is kinda reminding me of to be beautiful (fazbear frights), just saying...
Not to mention, quality of skin is determined on hormones, diet and genetics. You can't get someone's skin unless you're a psycho and literally take it, LOLOL.
from what i learned, matpat told that they try multiple thumbnails to see which one sticks the most (aka which one is the most clickbait-y) i think they changed the name bcs nivea and ponds are more recognizable
Having a market with a diverse number of products isn’t inherently bad as everyone is different and has different needs (ex: different skin types). However predatory marketing always has and will always be scummy.
We don't all have different needs for our skin, we have different skin and the industry has financial incentive to convince us that all those differences are bad and need fixing. Cancer is the only skin problem we should be concerned with and it's prevented with sunscreen

when i was 11 puberty did me so wrong and gave me acne, my mom and i bought a cleanser, moisturizer and sunscreen, it worked and my skin remained clear until i turned 13, i was so brainwashed by instagram and tiktok that i bought many products and resulted my skin to disaster, I only yet realized when i turned 14 that these products were the cause of it, now im back to my old routine & my skin is getting better, but i do still have acne scars from the disaster i put myself in
I had a reconstruction surgery on my right index finger, they used flesh and skin from my hip, and I was given vitamin c oil for the scarring and I can say I feel like it works well
I use moisturizer on my face. That's it. Before I used moisturizer, my face would get super oily by itself, which in turn gave way to pimples. I don't buy the tiny packaging at high prices. I get the normal stuff. Sold in big 500ml bottles for like $15 CAD.
interesting. moisturizing your oily skin helped reduce your oily skin? i have oily acne prone skin now and im always skeptical when ppl say wash your face! then mositurize (bc that washing of the face probably stripped your skin barrier and moisturizer is trying ti counteract that)
@@catlover4319people who have oily skin do so because of dry skin. The overproduction of sebum is your skins way of trying to moisturize itself, though the problem with oily skin is being prone to acne. If you keep your skin moisturized then it should reduce the amount of sebum you produce. An acne wash would help as well something with salicylic acid or benzyl peroxide to help reduce the bacteria on your face.
1:45 in to the vid and as someone whos taken skin seriously late in life (late 20s), the best advice I can give is, know what u need and address and dont fall for the trends (spending hundreds of $ to products u dont even need). If ur not addressing any issues like acne or dark spots, then all u need is a moisturizer (minimal, every night or every other night) and sunscreen (or anything woth spf 30). Again dont fall for the trends and spend ur money on things u dont need. Just know how to take of urself and skin.
as someone who is prone to acne, the thing that changed my skin was a few chemical peels... yes I dished out a significant amount of money on multiple treatments (like 80 euros per treatment and I think I did 6 or 8 treatments), but it worked and my skin is so much clearer. I still use creams because after washing my face it is dry, but I dont buy 100 euro creams, my creams cost under 5 euros and it makes my skin feel as soft as if I were to use a 100 euro cream.
plus with a pricey treatment followed up by basic care you're forking over maybe a 1000 dollars over the course of several months vs god knows how much money you'd spend on products trying to find something else. atm i can't make that kind of splurge and enjoy the 'treat yourself' aspect of skin care but as soon as i can afford it I'm getting treatments and sticking to a basic moisturizer, wash, and rosacea control
@@aff77141 I'm not in the states so I honestly don't know how it is there, but yea i paid about 400-600 for treatments and besides that I only use creams under 5 euro that last me about a year and that's going fine.
Almost no one talks about this but, one of the most common skin care scams are acne treatments. I've been living with acne problems since I was 13 and after deciding stop buying skin care solutions and clean my face only with water (not even soap) I've fixed this annoying problem. It's more about what you eat and how you sleep than this expensive skin care sets
@@redninetailsgamer1511 Sure when it comes to fancy brand name creams from basically what amount to marketing firms… but dermatology as a field and as a science is NOT a scam.
Over the years I’ve tried many products. I’ve finally found a routine that I love and the products are never more than $25 each with most of them being less than $10.
Like another commenter already said, skincare routines shouldn't be complicated! All you need to do is: Cleanse Moisturize Apply sunscreen Mindfully use active products specifically suited towards your skins main issues!
It’s so easy to get lost in all those marketing tactics and wonderful promises. It's an absolute shame how we are being fooled by pseudo-scientific terminology and overpriced products.
I find it funny to have a segment about false claims with no data to back it up, and then to have a vpn ad claiming things that are false with no data to back it up 😂😂
1:20 it says "Seek and you shall find" and "shows your most hidden features and secrets" i tried to look it up and i don't think this is a real type of ponds cream but i could be wrong.
I don't normally use sunscreen. I'm usually out the door before the sun rises and I spend most of the work day indoors. I use my body wash from Amazon, but about once a week and when I'm extra grimy from work I use a simple homemade salt and sugar scrub. I moisturize using a generic lotion.
Wait, SPF’s the only thing proven to work? You telling me lotions and moisturisers don’t work? I’m all for plumper skin and that being BS but reduced ashiness/cracked skin is a pretty obvious effect that seems tricky to put down to psychosomatic effects
I'm 48 and wish I had started with a gel moisturizer much much earlier than I did. But for many years, I didn't care about my looks at ALL. My skin was so dry, when I was about 40, it just started feeling papery. Now it feels better and is much softer, but now I'm concerned that things are going to start wrinkling and sagging SOON, because I didn't take care of my skin well enough.
Unfortunately he didn’t touch upon acne skin care or retinol which I think is more important to understand than Vitamin C. Also didn’t give an alternative other than sunscreen. What about the efficacy of cleansers and moisturizers?
The video is about MARKETING in the skincare industry, not ACTUAL SKINCARE. Maybe the next host can tackle that, but that wasn't the point of this video
Vitamin C was used as an example of a chemical that is uplifted by advertisements and not science. The things you mentioned, however, do actually have research papers that someone researching can find pretty quickly
Retinol actually works for certain acne and wrinkles because it’s basically like a mini peel every day. It’s not a gimmick like what he touched in his video
4:02 what do you mean by this matt patt? Young skin and old skin have VERY different textures, feels, looks, softness and everything. Compare like tbe skin of your whatever how old your kid is to your skin to your dads skin, even if yall took care of it EXACTLY the same way there would be visible and texural differences.
im asian and thought skincare "literacy" was improving. then i saw a video of a girl using 16 toners in her nightly routine with at least 10 different actives and realised that most skincare users are still buying things because of marketing not because of what they need
I went 1 week without doing literally any skin care, and my skin looked literally the best it ever had. I was GLOWING. Currently, I only wash my face once in the morning with a sensitive Dove soap bar, and moisture with e.l.f. holy hydration moisturizer with SPF. That's it. If you don't have any specialized skin concerns, you really don't need a lot, and your skin will do better with less.
Same. I just use the sensitive dove soap bar, some aloe gel and then my Cetaphil moisturizer with spf Washing with cold water in the morning really gives a shine
i used to think buying the most expensive skincare would work but honestly just using Korean skincare ( cleanser, serum and moistuzier and sunscreen) my skin as been more better.
I’d probably say the only skincare you need is moisturizer (for obvious reasons) and retinol (for collagen). Oh and sunscreen so you don’t get El Cancer
also a cleanser to wash off the sunscreen at the end of the day (and maybe in the morn if u need it like i do). everything else w skincare is optional unless its smthng u think u might need (i.e. dry skin, hyaluronic acid will help w that)

I think this was a solid video, and I have recently been asking these kind of questions. I was on Accutane last year so I went through a lot of the market products before I got to that point. That being said, I wish you covered more about Acne, being one of the biggest targets of advertising about these products, especially since it really is something you can "see". Acne problems obviously aren't as "up in the air" as something like the "deep-set dirt" from 70s skincare commercials.
love this! been wondering about skincare products alot. To know if we actually need 15 skincare steps. Makes me wonder about hair products, like shampoo, conditioner and scalp cleaners. maybe a next theory?
4:30 Cleopatra was 39 when she took her own life otherwise she would have easily lived way younger, this live expectancy is so low because of child mortality, if you lived to your adulthood and didn't die in some war, get smallpox or die giving birth you could totally to your 60s, 70s or even over 100 years (rarely)
Why? Did she feel inadequate to conform to the standards of society? I know a lot of women have this undeniable fear of beauty being stripped from them due to the inevitable tactics of aging.
Big difference between sour pasteurized milk and sour raw milk, like Cleopatra would have used. She would have used what's called clabbered milk. It's similar to kefir, but instead of using kefir grains - which are a mixture of bacteria and yeast, originally harvested from plants and soil - you use the bacteria and yeast that's found naturally in raw milks.
My ex-bf always did a 14 step skincare routine bc he felt like he needed it to prevent outbreaks. He was really frustrated when he saw me doing almost nothing for my skin except washing it with any kind of soap and use one cream I really liked. I told him, that when I did those specific skincare routines my skin would break out bc most products made to make your skin need them and sometimes make your skin condition worse so you would buy even more products. Ever since he stoped doing all the skincare his skin look much better and healthier.
Yeah, I feel like this video lacked a bit of actual dermatologists or even a beauty industry professional's input. (But this really needed a dermatologist giving a class here) I feel like they really dropped the ball here.
I deep dove into skincare during pandemic There is SO MUCH WRONG He’s really trying to lean on the woke angle too cuz his assumption it’ll sell to women Truth is this is probably the most female dominant industry
since the results were that none of them were testing anything, and there was no proof of any of them doing anything. They're all equally trash and liars
I myself am a living proof to me that skincare works and is beneficial. Sure there's lot of pruducts out there that is just a scam, but you have to find the right products and suddenly it's not a scam, i prefer korean skincare.
Pretty much yeah. This video points out the obvious stuff of fancy products but kinda shoves basics. Mat may be real about his sleep but my lack of sleep and dandruff destroyed my face. You can't just say to simply use normal shampoo and face wash for someone suffering with dandruff and in turn face stuff due to that dandruff.
According to real dermatologists (skin doctors), using a face wash and a moisturizing cream twice a day (not more, because it's too much then and has a detrimental effect instead of a positive one) does actually help your facial skin. It helps with lessening/preventing acne, and it helps slow down aging a bit (IFAIK). So there is a reason to have a basic skin care. Oh and using regular soap on your facial skin is not recommended because it dries out your face too much because your facial skin is much skinnier compared to other parts of your skin.

Hello
Woah
Stay!!!!!!!😢
there’s someone who asks for matt to play the unfinished swan on every gt and gtlive vid. they’ve been early on every vid for 72 days so could you please consider a gtlive on it before matt goes?
As most dermatologists on youtube recommends:
Keep it simple. Cleanse, moisturerise and sunscreen. Everything else are bonus but the basics are all that really matter ✨
Get this to the top comments
As a guy, keep in simple, 3 in one body wash /shampoo/conditioner and water.
Edit:
1 this is a joke.
2 skin includes areas not on one’s face like their hands, legs, and torso. So caring for one’s skin by washing one’s body is technically skin care.
You can literally just get a moisturiser with spf in it too. For anyone that has acne reading this, literally only wash your face with warm/hot water and apply moisturiser thinly so your pores don’t get anymore clogged up!
I love skincare so I use a lot of products 😂
Yessss my mom is a dermatologist and that’s what she always says
my mother was a dermatologist and she hated her job as she was criticized for having low returning customers. She called out the terrible skin brands and warned her customers that the tester products generally provide better results. the different skin types do require different care but ultimately spf and washing your skin is the bare minimum you need.
wait, the stuff they have in testers isnt the same as the full sizes?
I would love to have her for my dermatologist, if thats the case
@@K.Arashi definitely not, they want you to buy it so they make the initial tester give you that wow-ing effect.

To be fair, VPNs actually DO help, they just aren't necessary.

Sometimes (depending on the product) the skincare product won't do anything at all. They ARE different.
Eh, VPNs don't really matter outside of accessing location locked content.
I feel like one of the biggest scams are when they give you a timeline for when you will actually notice effects but a single(really expensive) purchase won't last that long.
Like a single container gives you two weeks worth of recommended use, but it takes 6 weeks to begin to see results and 10 weeks to reach maximum results. By 10 weeks in would you even remember what your skin looked like before starting the product?

@@ChloeH162no
@@PegeNoe they wouldn't but because there is nothing wrong with this video. It doesn't try to disprove retinoids, it's just the marketing for other products. It also tells you that sunscreen is the most important thing which is true.
My only issue with this episode saying at the end is "all you need is sunscreen" is you do need to cleanse your skin. Now that can be with something as simple as a bar of soap. But you do need to wash your skin. Especially if you've putting sunscreen on it or if you're putting makeup on it. I would also say you probably should moisturize your skin. Now that moisturizer can be the cheapest dollar store cream there is. Now if you're ok with a little dryness from using that bar of soap, go for it, just soap and sunscreen. No need for the serums and all but you probably want soap
I agree. The way i would put it is if you're young and have normal skin, washing your face, moisturizing, and sunscreen will give like 90% of the benefits of skincare. Everything else can help, but don't worry about it if you already aren't wearing sunscreen everyday.
And drink water!!!
Alright, you say that, but like: why? Why do you assert that one *does* need to cleanse one's skin? I'm not trying to fight you, just to be clear, I just want better argued assertions, considering I myself, a guy, use a facial cleanser everyday.
I agree! Wash with a simple cheap cleanser, use a moisturizer and sunscreen.❤
This whole video was bad. A man speaking for a woman, taking away from women’s voices. There are multiple females that could have spoke. Not even his wife gets a line.
i’m not all the way thru the video yet so i’ll likely edit this comment- but i HIGHLY reccomend seeing a dermatologist if you have genuine concerns about your skin. they’re more likely to suggest products that not only work, but are targeted for you personally. my doctor reccomended me a moisturizer 10 years ago, and i’ve used it ever since. no silly little tiktok shop products
Thus is facts. I greatly improved the look of my face by actually washing it daily, that's all the extra love it needed, but for extra things like skin conditions and acne issues it's best to go to a professional to help understand your skin instead of turning to trends.
Prescription skincare is great and often covered by insurance. I pay about $10 for each of my products, all of which last for months or years and are far, far more effective than the OTC stuff.
True. I recently saw one and found out my issues are an autoimmune condition. I've easily spent 10 times more than the dermatologist bill over the last 15 years to try to fix things when there's no cure. All I can do is try to get comfortable and try to fend off flare-ups. I just thought I wasn't moisturizing my very dry skin right. :I
do you mind sharing the moisturizer your dr recommended? thank you
@@ohnoes423 the point is that it's personalized for their skin, it's probably perscription. you'd need to see a dermatologist so they can tell you what to get for your specific skin, because everyone's skin is different
Me as a chemist doing research every day hearing that my work isn’t science 👁️👄👁️
😂😂😂
hes not talking about what you are doing exactly lol and if he you are doing case studies that dont even have proper control variables then no, you aren't working in science
Cleanse moisturize sunscreen is all we really need atm
What is science.
its not, its just bs.
One of the biggest issues I had when I was in high school was hormonal acne. The worst thing about it was that every cream, gel, face wash, moisturizer, you name it, that my mom would buy me at the store, or my dermatologist prescribed me to use, did NOTHING because my issue wasn't solvable topically.
It was so hard seeing all the ads that talked about these products that were supposed to fix my skin, and little did I know, none of them solved the problem I was facing.
Now I'm a little older, my hormones have leveled out, and all I use is bar soap, a basic cream, and sunscreen and my skin has never looked better. Infuriating.
At what age did your hormonal acne start and end? I had acne in middle school but went away once I started using skin care. That worked until my senior year where I had just a complete breakout all year where nothing worked for me and just recently started to heal (slowly).
The hormones are just making the skin more oily and prone to acne, so topical treatments can help if done effectively. But they can only help. No product is going to stop acne altogether or prevent it from getting worse during certain times of the month. The marketing saying that their products will fix or stop acne completely are an outright lie.
How old are you now?
Skin care definitely helps it not getting worse for me
Same. My acne was awful during 12-17.
Tried all the topical options.
When I got into college and just used bar soap. They went away. My skin is even clearer now than my friends that didn't have acne in highschool.

I’ve had acne for over a decade now, and subsequently have been trying new skincare on a regular basis for a decade trying to get rid of it. My experience has been that salicylic acid does nothing for me, benzoyl peroxide sort of works but dries my skin out pretty bad, and moisturizer actually is important in that situation. The other thing I’ve discovered is that learning what the common ingredients in skincare products do and what research backs them up can help a lot in figuring out what products will work for you.
I've noticed that some benzoyl products are a lot more drying than others. I'm using PanOxyl benzoyl wash, and it's working very well for me without being overly drying (but I also have oily skin). I also started using a tea tree moisturizer, and that seems to be helping too (I follow it up with a different moisturizer during the winter). You don't see tea tree on store shelves a lot, so it might be an ingredient you haven't tried yet
The only thing that got rid of mine was prescription tretinoin cream, I tried so so many products. Granted I never resorted to chemical peels or accutane but they were next if tret didn’t work. Only thing is that it can be very drying at times. It depends on your skin of course but Ive been using it for ten years now and for me its worth having to apply a little more moisturizer.
I thought i was the only one! Salicylic acid did nothing for me either
Same here girlie, only thing that helps is hypochlorous acid
I still get acne but it used to be incredibly worse.
About Scientifism, recently French industry Guerlain tried releaseing a skincare product that they advertised as quantic.
"Quantic effects that will renew the light of your skin..."
They've been called out for false advertisment by a youtuber day 1 and all mentions of quantic suddenly disapeared from their website
"Quantic" as in "Quantum"? Well I guess they technically weren't wrong then. "This product MAY or MAY NOT make your skin look better. But to know for sure, buy it for like, 3 months straight!"

@@JohnDlugoszI see... just shoving math terms into your skincare routines, makes real sense...
Ok but for the record, retinol is an extremely well studied ingredient and is almost universally backed by dermatologists. Listing "confusing ingredients" isn't just to confuse consumers, they actually do serve specific purposes.
Ong
Same for aids for skin types, I have strawberry skin, and the Cerave SA lotion actually helped minimize it a lot. So it's all about educating yourself and ensuring you're solving real problems with real solutions instead of made-up ones. Like shrinking your pores and getting rid of your oily skin. (These are made up ones btw)
Yeah, even a simple differin adapalene is super helpful
Yeah plenth of stuff doesn't work as advertised but I see so many comments in here getting the validation they wsnt in here to say it doesn't work when it does
I also found out that under legislation that came into force in the European Union at the end of 2023, there will be restrictions on the concentration of retinol in over-the-counter products, including retinol serums and moisturisers. As they found out some negative effects in higher concentration or over use. They recommend the other form know as retinal also. EU being as always careful.
It is a bit of a simplistic approach tbh. Whilst some of the points made in this video are true, it is very one-sided and lacks objectivity. There are a lot of products that really tackle actual skin conditions, such as rosacea, neurodermitis, psoriasis.... I have an extremely dry and sun sensitive skin that is as well rosacea-prompt and I can assure you that some drugstore products have actually benefited my overall skin balance. This has a huge impact of my self confidence. I used to have chronic skin inflammation (rosacea) with patches of flaky dry skin and now my skin is beautiful thanks to diligent skin care.
What do you use for your skin?
I have acne, and I can tell a difference when I skip out on my skincare routine and when I'm diligent with it. My skin is clearer and feels better overall.
Keyword being drugstore
@sophiamagdalena111 I use azelaic acid from The Ordinary to calm the inflammation, a tri ceramid cream to strengthen the skin barrier from the German brand DM and a sunscreen SPF 50 from Clinique as I have noticed that sun rays trigger my rosacea.
I feel like if anyone wants to get a skin care routine, visiting a dermatologist is always the first step, consulting an expert is always useful and can actually tell you what stuff your face needs
Dermatologist told my mum that in all those fancy creams with special ingedients it's actually the most basic ingredients that were discovered to work long ago. like how realistic is that they discover so often the new magical ingredients for new launch of new skin care set of creams. I haven seen so many different commercials about new miraculous ingredient. Mostly it's just marketing.
@@AcinnnScience did become much more efficient in recent times due to easy access to research papers over the internet and also because of powerful computers (and more recently deep learning), but yeah, there's no way miracle medicine will appear only in ads and not in news articles or anything else. If something groundbreaking is discovered, you will probably hear about it from sources other than the manufacturer; for example, you've probably heard of ozempic or semaglutide, a medicine which decreases your appetite, and it sounds great when obesity is rising. I would argue that it's not an ideal solution to obesity, as it usually stems from bad dietary choices, but if the patient doesn't do anything about it (which is how you get to obesity in the first place), then cutting their appetite is probably the best solution.

Worked in skin care/ dermatology research for 15 years. Consumer products are 99% marketing and 1% scientific.
To be fair that's almost everything
All I can say as a skincare enthusiast is that before getting tretinoin, I had painful cystic acne. Other than that I use a very basic moisturizer so I don't feel dry. And I've been using aha and glycolic acid on my scar from a car accident and my Ortho said it looked 5 years healed in 6 months
Were there any side effects from using it?
Props to you for doing your research on a product that gives you visible results
Don’t forget sunscreen!
@@lorenzo6777The only side effect could be from tretinoin. Use it to make cistic acne go away, and then stop using it for at least 6 months, so your skin doesn't get burns.
basically all you need is a cleanser that’s right for your skin, a moisturizer, and a sunscreen. all of these products (and ‘trusted’ brands) are available at places like target and walmart. this is just for protection/cleaning. all the other stuff are add ons and you probably don’t really need them.
And Vaseline for your lips!

@@RazoraWorld there can be 2 different reasons for dry lips, one is that they are not hydrated enough from within, this is what you have mentioned, the second is that they are being dried out by the environment. If you are out a lot in a windy cold weather no amount of water will help your dry lips, but the protective layer of Vaseline will give your lips a chance to regenerate, or it will prevent it from drying out in the first place.
Tell that to the guy who has cystic acne with the exact same routine as you describe.

Some retinoids are scientifically backed and FDA regulated. Adapalene (sometimes referred to as brand name Differin), is in fact FDA regulated and often sold in the skincare isle. I do however, personally stay away from retinol cosmetics, which are the versions not regulated. That and sunscreen are the only cosmetic drugs that have a robust body of evidence for anti-aging and acne.
I second adaptalene. It was drastically effective for me. But you have to understand that it takes months for your skin to adjust to it. You have to very slowly build up to daily use. And it might make your acne worse originally because it will speed up acne that was developing. But after months of daily use, the results are great! I have much less acne now and most of my scars have faded.

At 10 you only need at most sunscreen and maybe face soap and moisturizer if you have any skin conditions. At 6, sunscreen. That’s it. Once you enter teenage years go for whatever your skin type is but you don’t need something to prevent wrinkles when you won’t have them for at least another decade (or more)
honestly i don't think moisturizers are needed for kids that young unless it's prescription because of a health issue

@@TabbyeLynne Exfoliating twice a week is not necessarily excessive. And why would you regret it? Chemical exfoliants have the potential to induce collagen formation.
Also a licensed cosmologist here (I have dedicated esthetician training as well) and my routine is nearly exactly the same. My skin is more oily however so I don't add the extra hydrating serum. But I especially agree on the using too many products can backfire front.
Tretinon and highly active retinols definitely work. Sunscreen is skincare and nobody argues about that. AHAs are also effective and you will avoid irritation and damage if you keep moisturised. Yes, you don’t need exotic and expensive pots of stuff but dermatologists all recommend the basics. BTW Vaseline is still a hero product.
My parents both used Vaseline for decade’s. Their skin was positively amazing, not one blemish, dry skin, etc.
Tretinoin is a drug approved by FDA and i can confirm it's very effective.
I had very problematic skin so I always thought i needed more and more skincare. I recently made my skincare routine much simpler and focusing on the basics plus giving the my skin the actives it actually liked and my skin looks better. Plus sleep is very important for skin health.
I just love how MatPat tells us all the marketing cheats skin care companies do then use the same ones to sell a VPN for those who did not do enough research in IT Security to understand it.
Thats interesting, as someone who doesn't know a lotta things related to IT security, can you extrapolate a little on what you meant?
@@not_a_cat1392 idk about "IT security", but you definitely don't need a VPN to be safe on your computer, especially on Windows, Windows Defender is more than enough.
*unless you are an idiot*, hence the advertising
@@not_a_cat1392 for starters, the fear mongering that not using a VPN exposes you to hackers or Man in the Middle attacks. This is not true at all. Tom Scott did a video about VPNs. Go watch it and you'll be well educated.
@@IhavethekenergyVPNs dont actually "protect" your data. If you are downloading some shady files, using a VPN, you will still get viruses. All what they do is make you appear as if you are connecting from somewhere else. This helps making it harder to track you, but won't make you 100% immune. Keep in mind that your data is now going through that VPN company, so this is another risk factor as well. An example of that would be one of the hackers that hacked Sony couple years ago. He was caught through his VPN company reporting him for suspicious activity. Keep in mind that VPN was actually paid and promised to keep user's anonymity.

Hmmm I dunno. When I learned to double cleanse and use niacinamide, salicylic acid etc., I stopped getting acne.
Also, my dermatologist recommended retinol and niacinamide
Azelaic acid 10%, niacinamide, Willow Bark water (BHA), Panthenol ampules, Micelar water (based on Coco glucoside, a very mild natural soap) has helped me stop my 22 year battle with seborrhea, acne, open wounds. And oh did I try everything else before that...
Is Niacinamide that useful ?
@@OcarinaOfTimeyep

PS. My derma also said STOP using moisturizer because I don’t need it with my oily skin type and the humidity in my country, so she’s very picky about what products you use depending on your skin type, other factors etc.
I only use adapalene as an active treatment for my face, and protection by using sunscreen everyday, moisturize by using basic cerave and yet i get flawless skin, actually there's no need for other thing if u really knew it
The whole average lifespan part is all wrong because that number was brought down by the high child deaths that would occur
Thank you for saying this. I hear this everywear and it's very misguiding.
Yeah, but it's still true that girls were married off young because dying in childbirth was pretty common and the high child death rates meant it usually took multiple pregnancies to get one kid that survives to adulthood. Note that the average age of women dying was lower than the average age for men while nowadays it's the other way around. That's because our understanding of medicine has improved so doctors are more likely to keep an expectant mother alive.
That's why we use medians like civilized folk.
Thank you! Someone with a brain its been too long
@@Abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz1024 so child marriage is a lie that this matpat propaganda liar tell that didn't happen in the past?

Also, this skincare obsession is kinda reminding me of to be beautiful (fazbear frights), just saying...

Having a market with a diverse number of products isn’t inherently bad as everyone is different and has different needs (ex: different skin types). However predatory marketing always has and will always be scummy.
We don't all have different needs for our skin, we have different skin and the industry has financial incentive to convince us that all those differences are bad and need fixing. Cancer is the only skin problem we should be concerned with and it's prevented with sunscreen

when i was 11 puberty did me so wrong and gave me acne, my mom and i bought a cleanser, moisturizer and sunscreen, it worked and my skin remained clear until i turned 13, i was so brainwashed by instagram and tiktok that i bought many products and resulted my skin to disaster, I only yet realized when i turned 14 that these products were the cause of it, now im back to my old routine & my skin is getting better, but i do still have acne scars from the disaster i put myself in
I had a reconstruction surgery on my right index finger, they used flesh and skin from my hip, and I was given vitamin c oil for the scarring and I can say I feel like it works well
Yeah, vitamin E is the gold standard for assisting healing. I'm not sure it's technically considered "skincare," though.

I use moisturizer on my face.
That's it.
Before I used moisturizer, my face would get super oily by itself, which in turn gave way to pimples. I don't buy the tiny packaging at high prices. I get the normal stuff. Sold in big 500ml bottles for like $15 CAD.
Please use sunscreen
interesting. moisturizing your oily skin helped reduce your oily skin? i have oily acne prone skin now and im always skeptical when ppl say wash your face! then mositurize (bc that washing of the face probably stripped your skin barrier and moisturizer is trying ti counteract that)
I have like scrub moisturiser and cream thats it
@@catlover4319people who have oily skin do so because of dry skin. The overproduction of sebum is your skins way of trying to moisturize itself, though the problem with oily skin is being prone to acne. If you keep your skin moisturized then it should reduce the amount of sebum you produce. An acne wash would help as well something with salicylic acid or benzyl peroxide to help reduce the bacteria on your face.
1:45 in to the vid and as someone whos taken skin seriously late in life (late 20s), the best advice I can give is, know what u need and address and dont fall for the trends (spending hundreds of $ to products u dont even need). If ur not addressing any issues like acne or dark spots, then all u need is a moisturizer (minimal, every night or every other night) and sunscreen (or anything woth spf 30). Again dont fall for the trends and spend ur money on things u dont need. Just know how to take of urself and skin.
I love these ads where they literally just empty $25 worth of serum on their faces. It's so satisfying yet so maddening to watch
$25? You mean 1 serum?
@@emh8604 Oops yah. I meant $25 worth of a serum.
It's almost disgusting. 😂
as someone who is prone to acne, the thing that changed my skin was a few chemical peels... yes I dished out a significant amount of money on multiple treatments (like 80 euros per treatment and I think I did 6 or 8 treatments), but it worked and my skin is so much clearer. I still use creams because after washing my face it is dry, but I dont buy 100 euro creams, my creams cost under 5 euros and it makes my skin feel as soft as if I were to use a 100 euro cream.
plus with a pricey treatment followed up by basic care you're forking over maybe a 1000 dollars over the course of several months vs god knows how much money you'd spend on products trying to find something else. atm i can't make that kind of splurge and enjoy the 'treat yourself' aspect of skin care but as soon as i can afford it I'm getting treatments and sticking to a basic moisturizer, wash, and rosacea control
@@aff77141 I'm not in the states so I honestly don't know how it is there, but yea i paid about 400-600 for treatments and besides that I only use creams under 5 euro that last me about a year and that's going fine.
Almost no one talks about this but, one of the most common skin care scams are acne treatments.
I've been living with acne problems since I was 13 and after deciding stop buying skin care solutions and clean my face only with water (not even soap) I've fixed this annoying problem. It's more about what you eat and how you sleep than this expensive skin care sets
Sleep and diet play a massive role in skin! And stress control too!!
I'm taking drugs rn and they work, so I dunno

8:59 I love it when commercials try and gaslight me. So ethical 🤗
Over the years I’ve tried many products. I’ve finally found a routine that I love and the products are never more than $25 each with most of them being less than $10.
Like another commenter already said, skincare routines shouldn't be complicated!
All you need to do is:
Cleanse
Moisturize
Apply sunscreen
Mindfully use active products specifically suited towards your skins main issues!
It’s so easy to get lost in all those marketing tactics and wonderful promises. It's an absolute shame how we are being fooled by pseudo-scientific terminology and overpriced products.
I find it funny to have a segment about false claims with no data to back it up, and then to have a vpn ad claiming things that are false with no data to back it up 😂😂

No it isn’t and it’s with an apostrophe normally so pond’s
I don't normally use sunscreen. I'm usually out the door before the sun rises and I spend most of the work day indoors. I use my body wash from Amazon, but about once a week and when I'm extra grimy from work I use a simple homemade salt and sugar scrub. I moisturize using a generic lotion.
Did not know Amazon sold body wash 🤔
Wait, SPF’s the only thing proven to work? You telling me lotions and moisturisers don’t work? I’m all for plumper skin and that being BS but reduced ashiness/cracked skin is a pretty obvious effect that seems tricky to put down to psychosomatic effects
I like how I just got bombarded with 4 skincare ads while watching this video.
I'm 48 and wish I had started with a gel moisturizer much much earlier than I did. But for many years, I didn't care about my looks at ALL. My skin was so dry, when I was about 40, it just started feeling papery. Now it feels better and is much softer, but now I'm concerned that things are going to start wrinkling and sagging SOON, because I didn't take care of my skin well enough.
It's never too late to start 😊
That’s just natural aging tbh 😅 skincare might have saved you a few years but unfortunately that’s just how it goes unless you get comestic treatments
Unfortunately he didn’t touch upon acne skin care or retinol which I think is more important to understand than Vitamin C. Also didn’t give an alternative other than sunscreen. What about the efficacy of cleansers and moisturizers?
The video is about MARKETING in the skincare industry, not ACTUAL SKINCARE. Maybe the next host can tackle that, but that wasn't the point of this video
Vitamin C was used as an example of a chemical that is uplifted by advertisements and not science. The things you mentioned, however, do actually have research papers that someone researching can find pretty quickly
Retinol actually works for certain acne and wrinkles because it’s basically like a mini peel every day. It’s not a gimmick like what he touched in his video
"hold up, whats a skin consultant" 😂😂 9:40
4:02 what do you mean by this matt patt? Young skin and old skin have VERY different textures, feels, looks, softness and everything. Compare like tbe skin of your whatever how old your kid is to your skin to your dads skin, even if yall took care of it EXACTLY the same way there would be visible and texural differences.

I went 1 week without doing literally any skin care, and my skin looked literally the best it ever had. I was GLOWING. Currently, I only wash my face once in the morning with a sensitive Dove soap bar, and moisture with e.l.f. holy hydration moisturizer with SPF. That's it. If you don't have any specialized skin concerns, you really don't need a lot, and your skin will do better with less.

i used to think buying the most expensive skincare would work but honestly just using Korean skincare ( cleanser, serum and moistuzier and sunscreen) my skin as been more better.
I’d probably say the only skincare you need is moisturizer (for obvious reasons) and retinol (for collagen). Oh and sunscreen so you don’t get El Cancer
also a cleanser to wash off the sunscreen at the end of the day (and maybe in the morn if u need it like i do). everything else w skincare is optional unless its smthng u think u might need (i.e. dry skin, hyaluronic acid will help w that)
I would love a follow up video on this topic. Like comparing different brands, if toners are actually necessary, etc

Avoid the teen girl and boys (and the men and women that act like ones) just looking for clout and cashing with their pretty faces, and you'll be fine
you should look for actual dermatologists, estheticians, and beauty experts for that

I think this was a solid video, and I have recently been asking these kind of questions. I was on Accutane last year so I went through a lot of the market products before I got to that point. That being said, I wish you covered more about Acne, being one of the biggest targets of advertising about these products, especially since it really is something you can "see". Acne problems obviously aren't as "up in the air" as something like the "deep-set dirt" from 70s skincare commercials.

Big difference between sour pasteurized milk and sour raw milk, like Cleopatra would have used.
She would have used what's called clabbered milk. It's similar to kefir, but instead of using kefir grains - which are a mixture of bacteria and yeast, originally harvested from plants and soil - you use the bacteria and yeast that's found naturally in raw milks.

My ex-bf always did a 14 step skincare routine bc he felt like he needed it to prevent outbreaks. He was really frustrated when he saw me doing almost nothing for my skin except washing it with any kind of soap and use one cream I really liked.

@@valhallakombi7239 exactly this!
And to the claim that there's no science in skincare, i would say: go ask Michelle lab muffin beauty science.
According to real dermatologists (skin doctors), using a face wash and a moisturizing cream twice a day (not more, because it's too much then and has a detrimental effect instead of a positive one) does actually help your facial skin. It helps with lessening/preventing acne, and it helps slow down aging a bit (IFAIK). So there is a reason to have a basic skin care. Oh and using regular soap on your facial skin is not recommended because it dries out your face too much because your facial skin is much skinnier compared to other parts of your skin.
the 10 year old sephora kids have been real quiet since this dropped…
Lotions do in fact protect the skin from drying, especially at the elbows which can get rough.
