  • “The second ingredient of the anti-blemish cleansing foam is denatured alcohol”11:47–11:52
  • “Denatured alcohol, sorry, is a solvent. That's the reason for existing. But actually, in skin care, it's just not a good thing to use because the second it hits your skin, it starts to destroy the top layer of skin”11:52–11:57
  • “The sixth ingredient is witch hazel”13:42–13:43
  • “Witch hazel is a bit of a cheap trick. What it does is it's got tannins in it which is an antioxidant. Those tannins lead to a drying effect of the skin”13:45–13:48
  • “You're actually encouraging your skin to produce more oil. And so, you end up in this vicious cycle”14:10–14:11
  • “I like the third ingredient is salicylic acid which means it's probably at about 2%”
  • “Salicylic is great because it basically unclogs the pores. It's good for acne-prone skin”

Brand note

Clinique is the brand your mom probably used, and for good reason — their core products are reliable, no-frills staples that do what they say without a lot of fuss. The Almost Lipstick in Black Honey is the clearest anchor here: a sheer, balmy formula that gives a wash of color and feels nice on, though some find the texture not as smooth or hydrating as they'd like.
