Tik Tok Gold ✅ or Scams ❌ :

FYI: These products don’t work for me.

I tried all for 30 days. I have massive hyperpigmentation and Combination skin(T-Zones are oily)…I’ve never really been a person who breaks out frequently and when I do it’s my sign to detox. Usually I get random blemishes and my hyperpigmentation would come from hair (mostly in growns.) I went on a rampage to find the new products b/c Ambi rebranded then changed the fade cream removing the hydroquinone which helps with the dark spots…I was determined for my skin have a glow up so I been on the hunt since May 25, 2024…

No luck with any of these products…they either caused breakout, temporary moisture, or no change at all….

I’m very disappointed b/c these are talked about and advertised frequently.

I started trying Dettol and Hibickens microbial soaps and my skin started calming down.

Ordinary toner is okay but it’s not the hype that everyone gives so….I’ve moved on to Dettol antiseptic next….Ive seen multiple African native girls using and showing improvement but I am tapped out…

(Yes, my Urban skin RX moisturizer says for men but it works for women who have pcos and breakdowns and need soothing after shaving. 🪒)

the Joseon rice serum don’t work…haven seen a change just like the good molecule serums…they pretty much soothe the skin…)

What’s some good products that have been working for yall (black girls)…. Natural remedies included⁉️⁉️⁉️

(No offense to the other ethnicities but your skin is not the same. 🤷🏽‍♀️ )

... Read moreNavigating the world of skincare can be daunting, especially with the surge of TikTok influencers sharing new products constantly. Many viewers find themselves drawn to trending items that promise miraculous results. When dealing with hyperpigmentation, a common concern for many, understanding the effectiveness of these products is vital. A significant number of these trending products often do not yield the results as marketed. Ingredients such as hydroquinone have become harder to find after reformulations, which may prove disappointing for users seeking effective solutions. Alternatives like urban skin RX and Dettol have gained popularity, but results can vary widely. It is essential for users to perform patch tests and consult with dermatologists before trying new products. Seeking natural remedies is another avenue many are exploring, especially within the black community, where skin types and needs may differ significantly. DIY masks and well-reviewed natural ingredients can often provide a gentler approach for sensitive skin. Ultimately, sharing experiences and recommendations within a community can lead to more informed decisions, promoting better outcomes and healthier skin.

I have good results from the good molecules niacinimide serum, gentle retinol, and the moisturizer. All of the other stuff I have dismissed because I think they’re over hyped. I think people get them because the packaging and names are fancy 🤷🏻‍♀️

A person sits at a desk with two computer monitors, looking surprised with a hand over their mouth. The image is titled "how i spotted SCAMS (remote positions)" in a decorative font, indicating the topic of the post.
The image highlights "ANY payments required 🚩" as a red flag for remote job scams. Text explains that scam listings may demand payment or send checks for equipment that will bounce, costing the applicant money.
Titled ""too good to be true" moments 🚩", this image warns about unrealistic job offers. Text mentions customer service roles rarely exceeding $55,000/year without experience and highlights overly generous benefits like unlimited PTO as red flags.
