    • I do love it
    • That is gorgeous inside3:00
    • That is very satisfying3:04
    • I actually almost love this product but they did one huge mistake and that is that they added fragrance
    • If they hadn't I would have recommended this for people with sensitive oily acne prone skin3:44
    • This is not going to work for someone with dry skin anyway4:38
    • The fragrance in it means that you're not going to wear it if you have oily acne prone skin cuz you already have inflamed skin
    • Unfortunately this product is also a no4:51

    • I love this. This is so lightweight5:24
    • It's probably the most beautiful looking gel moisturizer I've come across so far5:36
    • It's just fragrance and there's no other actors in here that's going to help you with glow of the skin5:49
    • It's not going to brighten the skin5:58
    • It's not one I'd recommend for you or your kids6:09
    • It's got fragrance in it and actually is really not hydrating enough6:16
    • This after an hour, your skin is going to start to feel tight6:25
    • Unfortunately, this is another no

  6. @vanitarattan reviewing Kiehl's Ultra Facial Oil-Free Gel Cream at 07:28 in a YouTube Shorts video
    Kiehl's$48.00
    • The fourth ingredient here is denatured alcohol7:26
    • Denatured alcohol leads to increased free radicals in the skin7:28
    • Imagine you've actually got inflamed acne prone skin where you've already got free fatty acids in your skin that's already irritating your skin and now you go and put something on the skin that encourages free radicals to further irritate the skin. It's a bad idea7:38
    • This one I would avoid8:13

    • They added fragrance9:31
    • It's also got citrus extract, which is a skin sensitizer9:39
    • You've already got irritated, inflamed skin that's crying out for love and help and then you go in with some citrus. It is a bad idea9:44
  9. @vanitarattan reviewing Dermalogica Calm Water Gel at 09:59 in a YouTube Shorts video

    • I'd say I'd avoid it if you had acne
