This pissed me off. Watching this as a (now) adult makes me understand how something as small as having discomfort being ignored can create larger issues when you grow older (no sense of boundaries etc.)

So having a “ghetto” name is synonymous with being dark skin? Are we also going to dismiss the cultural significance of African names and how there are actual ceremonies behind them? I can’t tell if this is willful ignorance or just blatant stupidity

Pronunciation has no correlation to whether an ingredient is “safe” for your skin. This is fear mongering and pseudoscience. People can’t pronounce dihydrogen monoxide yet drink and rinse their face with it. People can pronounce poison ivy yet it’s bad. Use science, not fear!

I cannot believe this is real. DO NOT BUY THIS DO NOT BUY THIS. You will ruin your skin. The ordinary is trying to have y’all play chemist at home 😭

This makes me so angry. The misconception that people that get acne are not “clean” and “don’t wash their face” or “take care of themselves” needs to die. There are a multitude of factors that affect acne vulgaris (ex: hormones) There is only so much topical cosmetics can do.

There was a video I saw about being careful when you take and send pictures with your iPhone bc if you send the original photo people will have your location analytics and to just send a screenshot of the photo instead. It’s so sad we have to take so many preventative measures 😭

What’s causing the tightening effect are polysaccharide polymers and film forming ingredients (such as carrageenan in this formula). Essentially these ingredients will adhere to your skin and form a film which visibly and temporarily improves your skin’s appearance!

Skin care for darker skin tones is not a thing. In fact, I’d go on to say this is harmful rhetoric bc it prevents darker skin using certain ingredients proven to work. You should be treating your skin based on your skin concerns, not necessarily your skin color.

My colleague spilling the tea about hyaluronic acid in formulations. It’s almost always typically used at 2% or less!

I understand you can be the villain in someone’s story but it will never cease to amaze me how people will flip a narrative and twist things about you to make it seem like you were the problem, without ever holding themselves accountable about what they did to you

all this needed was Shea butter and this would silence a lot of people 😂
