“I don’t talk to a lot of people so I don’t know how to say things in real life” I felt this 😂

Not gonna lie the first red flag I see is that it says it works for all skins... I’ve always found that to not be true in my experience. I feel like skincare isn’t a one size fits all. I have extremely dry skin and there’s just no way to me that someone with oily skin can use the same products I do...

Doctorly, could you please enable the CC for me? I am Deaf and would love to watch your video. :)

Here's my thing, instead of him donating from the profit he makes, he added the donation on to the price of the products, so it's us donating not him!

Already some other dermatologist said. "If you want to be environmentally conscious don't create another source of waste". The products look good as Inkey list has been, but pricey

His line is a good example of just because you can doesn't mean you should

Notice how he says “We, ours, us” even though he’s alone right now. He’s a REAL ONE💯

I like that he always says “we” even when he’s alone in most of the videos. So nice😋🥰😍

We appreciate Dr maxfields smoldering at all times.

Why listen to an influencer who calls themselves a "specialist" with no history of being one ever when you can listen to doctors who been in school for 8+ years?? make it make sense

Hyram has dragged multiple brands for the ingredients he has in his own product😐. After he drags a skincare brand he just promotes the one that is sponsoring him without saying he is sponsored. There is a lot more to that. I stopped following him.

I’m pretty shocked there isn’t a sunscreen

here for the truth

The only unbiased review for this brand comes from Dr Dray. She doesn't suck up to Hyram like all his other skincare friends. Their reviews need a disclaimer for being completly biased.

All I am going to say is I think it's very telling when people who come out with their own line's continue to use products cherry picked from other brands.

Really, no offense to anyone, but I"m pretty sure if these products were created by an unknown Joe, reviews by all these Doctor and aesthetician youtubers would most likely be harsher and more critical of the products. There is no such thing as putting your biases or subjectivity aside when you're good friends with someone.

You are such a nice human! Why can’t everyone think like you? I love watching your videos! Thanks for being you 😊

Including the time stamps on your videos is SO HELPFUL!!! Appreciate the thoughtfulness for your viewers

They've use 5% of cosme phytami centella(which has abt 94%glycerin, 5% water and 1% asiaticoside) and 3% cosme phytami green tea(Glycerin above 95% and caffein). I'd rather have him put them in leaveon products. Effectively you have 0.05% asiaticoside and abt 0.04% caffein in then end product. Thats y its below Phenoxyethanol. Also this product doesnt have deposition system that will deliver the extracts to your skin. They'll just wash off. So know that even if it works for you it isnt the extracts that worked for you because in any cleanser without potent actives like GA, SA, BPO etc its not the extracts that are working but the base surfactant formula which is showing results. For any cleanser, 90% of the effects are due to in actives. Also 26 bucks for 50ml moisturizer,? Hell no. Let's not even go into prices. Also his donating is very technical. On website it say he only donates when you buy a SERUM. I'll probably prefer hylamide cleanser for 20 bucks which has pretty superior tech than his basic cleanser or even LRP which gives 400ml for 14 bucks. Also about his retinol, its 30 bucks for 1ounce which is super super expensive. Retinol is eq to 0.2% and rainbow algae which pretty much is a gimmick. He could've just put normal algae. I have much superior products at much cheaper price points. Also the donations which he's so hyping about will give him tax benefits. He's talking money from consumers and donating from company accounts to get tax deductions. I'd rather donate money myself bcz it gives me more control over where i want to donate and choose the cause myself. I'd rather buy good cheap products and donate some money myself which will still be more than what he donates and also don't give him tax benefits from my money. He says I created a brand which sparks social change when in reality its the consumers money that's going to charity and also giving him tax benefits. Basically he using customers money to reduce his company's carbon footprint while selling them the idea HE has done this. Also about bioplastics. They're still plastics and are pretty similar to normal plastics. Most of recycling places dont have proper infrastructure to recycle this. Plastics are actually recycled more than glass. So I'd rather have him use normal plastic and reduce the pricing and have a recycle/reuse program separately in brand where he can recall all the used packaging and reuse or recycle them. It'll still be a lot cheaper than his marketing. Bioplastics are just giving him marketing material. You know whats more sustainable? Not creating a brand if you cant compete with cheapest in the market. Because at this point market has become so saturated with actives that people don't need more. I knw this for a fact that he's never even going close to big players which have cheap products and also have charity programs. Most companies today have some or the other kind of chartiy programs integrated into their brands and still they're much much cheaper than his expensive brand with basic formulations. Combining all this is a massive greenwashing and justifying his price point. I remember he used to recommended more affordable products and then he signed with YTTP as "specialist" which tbh isn't even a thing. He didn't even disclose his partnership with YTTP. He's contradicting pretty much all the principles he has worked upon since start just because its his own brand. So I'll take his own advice that don't fall for the marketing and I'll buy product which are more cheap and work for me and I'll donate the money myself and get the tax benefits for myself.

His whole brand rubs me the wrong way for some reason.. Dramatic promotion, not disclosing how many percent that goes to charity, many of the good ingredients are below phenoxyethanol etc.. I also heard that if a company donates to charity they will get a tax deduction.

The thing is, he isnt up front about his natural skin and use filter during videos and IG stories. However, today during the pre launch ig live, i got to see his skin without filter and although its nice, it isnt what people claim it to be. Similar to how trisha paytas came out with her skincare line however her real skins isnt even close to how it looked in her marketing video. Also, the packaging aint revolutionary, its been done by multiple other brands and $30 for a 1.7 oz serum?? HELLO?? HIS MARKETING SCREAMED WHITE SAVIOUR as well.

A “skin care specialist” who worked at Saks as a make up artist who gives advise on skin care, why would I buy from him? The price point is way too high for the amount of product you are getting and you can get the same ingredient for far cheaper with other brands. No thank you, I rather spend my money elsewhere. This is such a cash grab and I hope his young fans realize this.

Now that Hyram is pitching his own stuff, can I get my hands on some Cerave ?!

"I don't talk to a lot of people" - me, someone whose social life is 98% virtual, felt this in my soul 🤣

Everyone and their mother seems to be coming out with a new skincare line. 🙄

Won’t be purchasing for a ton of reasons but notably, the amount of product you get for the price? I would have must rather Hyram invest in the Inkey List brand than to create his own brand powered by the Inkey List. That’s more sustainable in the long run. Wish him all the best regardless.

One thing I always wonder about Hyram is, what are his qualifications that make him a skin care "expert?" Did he go to school for this? Has he had any hand on experience with working on peoples faces? Not to be a Debbie Downer, but why do so many ppl take advice from him if he doesn't have these qualifications?

I think that I am one of the few that is not a fan of Hyram . He’s another influencer who he promotes what is sponsoring him with out being upfront that he’s being sponsored .

Won't buy his, he talks about bad ingredients so many times but end up keep on promoting brands that have bad ingredient that he talk about because he received PR from them. He only in it for the money.

Maybe if he disclosed the exact percentage going to the charities I would consider buying his line, but I don’t know if I’m paying $30 for a product and $1 is donated or if $15 is donated, there’s a big difference, and considering the fact they are twice the price of regular inkey list products tells me that they saw this as a chance to make huge bucks and not really about sustainability and helping people, but rather helping their pockets grow. If they are planning to donate 10% there should be a 20% increase (10% to donate and 10% for Hyram) but instead it’s over 200% increase 👎🏻

I am happy Hyram got this opportunity, he seems like such a nice guy! I might not buy his products (because I already have a routine that works thanks to Doctorly) but I hope it does well nonetheless :) Thanks for the honest review, Dr. Shah

“I read a lot, but I don’t talk to a lot of people” what a mood

I'm so excited to see derms reacting to Hyram's product launch! I bought all 5 products, but it's so relieving to hear that the products really do seem to be all he's promising they are. Thank you for your review! I've never clicked on a video so fast. Lol

The whole line costs around 120 dollars. Paulas choice kits also cost around 120 + you can get some free products. + the Pc has way more studies behind than Hyrams new brand. I would say that these products would normally cost 15-20 dollars, and you pay plus 5-10 dollars for the marketing.

Dr. Shah there is a huge positivity around you. Meeting you once is one of my bucket lists.

Thanks for reviewing! I don’t think I’ll pick up anything yet. I have a tried and true skincare routine that is working well for me right now. It’s always nice to have a dermatologist perspective on products though so as not to waste money on stuff that won’t work or that can be potentially irritating to the skin.

I’m not spending my money on anything from an influencer. No offence to Hyram. He seems sweet though, and we all gotta eat :)

Tbh I don't understand people that are buying from Hyram. I love the guy but he isn't a dermatologist. He isn't a professional. Why buy from another celebrity/influencer?

Best review on letting us know on how to actually use the products! 👏🏼 Glad I watched. Regretful I purchased the complete set before watching as I definitely don’t need the oily skin products 😕

It makes me so happy to know y’all are friends

with all the respect...why produce more as if there's not enough already??? all these calabs with "influencers" are made just to get more cash and that's true..it's not selfless in any way....and to invent something special you have to be a professional in the field...not just an influencer...

Love you guys! I have changed my skincare routine based on your advice. I started a retinol routine. I am 56 years old and am hoping to see some difference in a few months. Thanks for the honest opinions you give in your reviews. Keep up the wonderful videos!

Thanks for the in depth review, I’m even more excited to try these products now!

I’m not always super psyched over Hyram, but I do like a couple of his products. I really appreciate the way you’ve reviewed them!

YES WAS HOPING YOU’D DO THIS VIDEO. 🤲🏼

I read over the ingredients list of Hyram's products... They are not terrifying but they are also not superior quality. These are average products at a mid priced point. I love Dr. Maxfield and Dr. Shah, but when you're friends with someone, it's really tough to provide feedback to them or about them. I'm not a dermatologist, and I don't claim to know all they know, but I personally am not a fan of these products, I don't think they will do much for your skin. To be quite frank... They are comparable to whatever you can find at Target or Walmart. You can verify what I'm saying by researching the ingredients in these products.

Thank you Dr. Shah for your honest review! I love Hyram's mission and I'm excited to try his skin care line.

Oh my god the only option I TRULY want of hyrams new line!! Thank you!!!!! Miss you Dr. Max

Would love a video on skincare for pregnancy and breastfeeding! I feel like we are often excluded from product lines (especially when it comes to safe exfoliants & treatment serums).

I just wanted to say that I have found so much joy in learning more about skincare. I'm very new and have loved Doctorly, Hyram, James Welsh, Cassandra Bankson, and Anthony Youn MD. It feels like there's a space for everyone, and they all offer their own wonderful content. I discovered Hyram through Dr. Mike, and that's how I discovered all the other skincare KZfaqrs. If dermatologists say he offers something worthwhile to the skincare community, why say he has no value? Some of our most beloved brands like CeraVe were not founded by dermatologists, but with them. If Hyram partners with Inkey List dermatologists and chemists to create a skincare line, and no dermatologist is saying any of the products are bad or harmful, our beautiful community doesn't need to attack its right to exist :) Anyhow love to you all

For those who’s wondering what “Maracujá” means: I’m brazilian and “Maracujá” is actually a portuguese word that means “Passion fruit”. I looked for the ingredient list of the product and it says that contains maracujá seed oil that significantly reduce Trans Epidermal Water Loss (TEWL) on inflamed or breakout skin to support reinforcing the skin barrier :)

You 2 guys are adorable, you were very kind to Hyram and I admire that.

Don't lie Dr Maxfield's in the bathroom reapplying his tretinoin for the third time today! Edit: I didn't come up with the first part of this comment, I thought the original one was funny , so I switched it up to something more fitting of the last video I seen from Doctorly. Had this been twitter I would have retweeted, but this is YT and all we can do it comment! Have a great day!

I dont fall for this or anything like this of promoting all this fluff. The moment he said " oh hyram and i are friends" the creditability is gone. I go for no nonsense basic products. I'll keep my cereve cream/lotion; gentle cleansers and such without breaking the bank. My 20 year old dumb self would run out and get this; but this wiser and older say nope nope nope.

Always love your breakdown of ingredients!

I feel you about being a reader who doesn't know who to say things in real life, Dr. Shah! Thanks for doing this review and also being so honest about your friendship with Hyram.The review seemed very fair and unbiased to me!

I would literallyyyy watch every video you upload !!

im sorry but the name "selfless by hyram" is the dumbest, most ironic thing i have ever heard

This is a great perspective on the whole thing. Very informative.

Wow you opened up a little more during this video, you said a lot of really correct and also sweet things🙏🏻❤️

Basically a praise Hyram video

“I don’t know how to say things in real life” lol! Relatable.

Was looking forward to this review. I do wish you also about how the products feel on your skin, do they peel, do they layer well, etc. good review none the less, thank you.

Thank you for explaining exactly which product is best for each skin type or goal so we know where to start!

I respect Dr. Shahs opinion and his analysis of the products themselves but I really wish he or any other major skin care influencer would acknowledge the controversy surrounding hyrams brand. It has nothing to do with the products themselves but everything to do with the brands ethics, marketing and sales. To anyone considering buying selfless by hyram: please do your own research into the issues surrounding the brand before you make the choice to go out and buy. Then if you do still purchase the products you'll at least be making an informed decision.

As someone that has tried all sorts for my acne prone face and neck. Don’t mess about. Get a tretinoin prescription and a bland, but decent moisturizer. Use a Vit c serum, a light moisturizer and spf during the day. And don’t believe the scare tactics on silicone based products. The most matte and beneficial product I’ve used for day time use is a silicone based spf. Never take advice from someone trying to sell you something. Research and word of mouth is king. So many influencers that are chatting up products, don’t actually have a clue how to use them. How many have you seen rubbing neat cerave cleanser on their face, then moaning they broke out. 😂

Hi. I just found this channel. So excited to binge watch you guys.

Hyram does not disclose that he is getting paid for products he recommends/reviews. No one can test that many products as Hyram.

Dr. Maxfield’s cameos are sending me 😂

No offense to H but I’m not buying any of his product , one it’s too pricy and just not going to spend $$ on a influencer who named it selfless.

Sick of the virtue signaling myself. And I’m sick of companies lecturing me about things unasked for

Great review!! Very detailed. I feel I have good grasp on the products. Thanks Doc

Omg, I've been waiting for this video!

“I read a lot but don’t talk to a lot of people. So I don’t know how to say things in real life.” Especially in the medical field haha!

Thanks for your feed back ! ❤️

Happy Birthday Doc 🎂🥳🥳 ....have a nice day

Please, tell us the truth Dr Shah! We trust you like the good physician you are. You can’t disappoint me now

I feel like Hyram just copies Dr Dray’s videos. Or at least he did. I would watch one of her videos and...what do you know...he would come out with a video extremely similar a few days or a week later. Haven’t watched him in a while because I’d rather follow an actual board certified dermatologist who has the knowledge and background to speak about skin care...

This was a very helpful review and answered my questions as to what product is best for my skin type. Thank you!!!

It is true that launching a skincare line is not sustainable BUT if it has success it will send a huge message to all skincare brands who don’t give a f. about environment. I am gonna support it for this reason, hoping to see more responsibility from other brands

"Selfless" is the most humblebrag flex I've seen in a long time. For that reason, pass.

What are the products actually like though? How do they feel on your skin? What is the consistency? How do they absorb? Do they layer well? What are the negatives, if any? Do they interact well with products from other brands? Where would you put them in your own skincare routine? How do they compare to other similarly priced products? I would have liked to know what your personal experience was, not a general discussion of the ingredients.

I bought the retinol *right* before this video came out. Glad I made the right choice!

I am so here for this!

I just think it's ridiculous to call the brand selfless when you know he is gonna earn big bucks from it

How can a 50ml package be sustainable? These products are expensive and they bring nothing new to the market. I don't get the hype for them

So excited to try the Rainbow Algae Retinol Serum also purchased the cleaner.

Omg thank you so much for doing a video after I commented, love you guys ♥️

Can you make a video about do and don'ts of mixing actives?also I'm so grateful to you guys for educating all of us in such simple way,keep up the good work!

Dr. Dray is the only Dermatologist I trust. She has Zero bias.

Love your humility and philosophy 😍

I refuse to buy any influencer skincare because there are products from Walmart that fulfill all my needs and are dermatologist approved so why waste the money???

I want more people to talk about how disgusting it is he's using stock images of third world countries to promote his brand. It's such a white savoir brand. "buy this and you'll help save the world and these poor black people!" when the amount donated is next to nothing (just for appearances and tax deductions) and the products aren't even available im Africa (the people who's faces he's exploiting). It's obvious he's wanted to make a skincare line for a long time but between the ingredients, price, marketing, and amount it's such a cash grab

I'm glad to see someone actually say something nice and stay genuine. I love Hyram. I love your channel as well. Keep up the good work and spread the love.

Ive been watching Hyram for awhile now and in relation to everything Ive heard him say in his videos, this line make absolute sense. Im interested in the cleanser and retinol. :) Thanks for the informative video!

Hyram has completely change my skincare routine and knowledge. All these people painting him as greedy and trying to cancel him bewilders me. If you can't afford the product, don't buy it, he didn't force you. Just watch the free videos of advice and recommendations and purchase the cheaper ones he's recommended. I won't be purchasing his products, but I won't deny how much he has helped me

Honestly, I'm shocked by this level of promotion. Here is the deal folks: There is an average whopping 78% markup on skincare products. This line $ is excessive! You need a decent face wash, toner, and sunscreen and there are plenty of lines out there with decent sized bottles of at least 4 oz or more, that are cruelty free, and safe ingredients. The price-point is no more than 10 bucks each. Don't throw your hard earned cash out the window by paying too much for skin care.

"Maracuja" (maracuyá) is passion fruit :D

I was waiting for a dermatologist review of this
