  • “These really pack the pigment”18:59–19:03

  • “I have really enjoyed the clear as that everyday clear, glossy, throw it in your purse kind of product”19:40–19:47
  • “EADEM has a pretty impressive ingredients list. One of the most expensive formulas”19:51–19:58

  • “If my lips are incredibly dry... there is another formula that I do prefer. Because this is so glossy, in my opinion, sometimes it feels like it's not sinking into the lips as much as I would like”20:52–21:00

4.7Mami Wata Ultra-Calming Rescue Mist

  • “I spray this and my skin or my eyes, the area around my eyes just feels so much better and more calm and smooth. It smells like a spa, but that's it's not the scent, it's the effect that it has on my face”31:58–32:05

3.5Cloud Cushion Moisturizer
  • “This is a genuinely good barrier chemistry. High glycerin, niacinamide, a full ceramide cholesterol fatty acid system, peptides, and adenosine”8:01–8:06
  • “It also has a very interesting ingredient called tremella mushroom, which actually outperforms hyaluronic acid in water retention”8:12–8:15
  • “For black skin, where you have higher transepidermal water loss, i.e. more water evaporation from the skin, that matters”8:17–8:23
  • “The tyrosinase inhibition is modest but present”8:25–8:30
  • “The Naif safety check is borderline. There's no synthetic fragrance, but botanical aromatic extracts remain”8:28–8:33
  • “The real problem is again packaging. This is a water-based peptide containing formula in a finger dip glass jar”8:35–8:40
  • “At $58, that's a chemistry undermining decision”8:43–8:48
  • “When fresh, it works beautifully”8:46–8:49

  • “I love this form of vitamin C for skin of color because it's non-irritating”6:30–6:36

  • “It's got a phytosterol system that supports the barrier, which I love”7:12–7:17
  • “On pigmentation, this is a softer pathway for brightening”7:17–7:20
  • “This is gentle. It's not aggressive”7:30–7:34
  • “I love the fact this formula is Naif safe. It truly is fragrance-free”7:33–7:36
  • “The packaging, however, is in a dropper. It's adequate, but I really would have preferred this in an airless pump in order to ensure that the vitamin C is actually stable by the time it hits your face”7:36–7:40

2.5Milk Marvel Dark Spot Serum
5The Mark Dark Spot Concentrate
  • “What an innovative product”8:36–8:39

  • “I've never quite seen this type of approach, this trio of ingredients leaving out niacinamide”11:02–11:09
  • “Those spots are still there... but they're fading and I'm not even done with this tube”11:57–12:00
  • “I am actually blown away”

3Smooth Slate Ingrown Relief Serum
  • “This product targets a serious black skin specific issue, razor bumps and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation”8:54–9:02
  • “The actives are real. Lactic acid and mandelic acid, both large molecular weight AHAs, which are very safe for skin of color”9:02–9:10
  • “They also add in azelaic acid, another safe acid for reactive inflamed skin”9:10–9:17
  • “This formula contains a heavy essential oil blend, including bergamot and lime peel oils. Both are phototoxic”9:17–9:26
  • “Phototoxic oils plus melanin-rich skin plus sun exposure equals pigmentation risk”9:26–9:33
  • “In my professional opinion, this directly contradicts Eadem's melanin-sensitive positioning”9:33–9:38
  • “The actives work, but the essential oils disqualify it for many black skins”9:38–9:44
  • “I would give this product a five and a half out of 10”

Brand note

EADEM has built a reputation around one standout product: Le Chouchou lip balm, which creators consistently call the most nourishing, long-wearing tinted balm they've used — it's glossy, pigmented, and actually softens lips over time, though a few note that the glossy finish doesn't sink in as well on severely dry lips.
