In this video, Gothamista delves into the world of skincare with her trademark candor, sharing her unfiltered opinions on popular products that have left her less than impressed. She kicks things off by discussing spicule micro-needling serums, notably VT's Reedle Shot, which she found discomforting and lacking in results compared to her preferred AHAs. Snail mucin, a once-beloved ingredient in the skincare community, also falls under her critical gaze as she reveals her indifference towards its benefits, favoring other ingredients like honey and propolis instead.
The conversation takes an intriguing turn as Gothamista delves into the realm of PDRN, a skincare ingredient derived from salmon DNA, known for its purported anti-aging and hydrating properties. While acknowledging its popularity in the skincare world, she expresses skepticism about its topical benefits, preferring products from Rejuran for their extensive research and patented formulas. The discussion then shifts to the controversial practice of "slugging" with Vaseline, a method aimed at locking in moisture but one that Gothamista finds messy and invasive, opting for overnight masks or hybrid moisturizers like the Road Barrier Butter for a more refined skincare experience.
As she navigates through the landscape of Korean sleeping packs, Gothamista questions their necessity in her routine, finding their lightweight textures and lack of occlusiveness underwhelming compared to her preferred skincare products. She sheds light on her preference for using certain masks as wash-off treatments rather than leaving them on overnight, citing a more favorable experience for her skin. Overall, Gothamista's candid exploration of skincare ingredients and practices offers a refreshing take on popular trends, showcasing her discerning approach to achieving healthy and glowing skin.
