On the face of it, “gamer orientated skincare product” sounds like a big gap in the market. However, when you consider that gamer skin tends to be pretty similar to non-gamer skin, you’re going to have to bring something exciting to the table to convince us we need to buy it – and YouTube streamer Valkyrae tried to do just that.
However, all that was actually brought to the table with the skincare range RFLCT was some questionable science, and a whole lot of gamer buzzwords. Valkyrae is now defending herself following criticism from both fans and other content creators, saying that she “saw the research with [her] own eyeballs”, and thought it was “revolutionary”.
“I was really excited because I thought it was groundbreaking research, I was excited, I thought it was going to help people”, explained Valkyrae on stream.
“They ran their own studies, their own research. This whole time, I was under the impression that all this research that I saw was going to be on the website. When RFLCT dropped, it was crucial for there to be research but all there was was a WebMD link”.
The 29-year old streamer admits she was “naive” about the process, now learning that the research she apparently saw take place cannot be published for the public to see.
Despite many debunking the product’s claims to protect your skin from blue light, Valkyrae reaffirmed her belief in its unique selling point. “I do believe in the product but I do also wish to not be involved because the research can’t be public. That’s the hard part”. She goes on to say she can’t walk away from the product due to her contract.
The RFLCT line is out now, with the products ranging in price from $12 to $28. Word to the wise – if you’re worried about the effect of blue light on your skin, pick up some BB cream for a few dollars. It’s a lot cheaper.
