Ready to see what all the hype is about? Below, find my review of the product line, as well as why Yarbro created each formula. The best part is that it's super easy to use. Simply apply a couple of drops after cleansing and before moisturising. Though it's gentle, this product shouldn't be combined with lots of other strong acids in your routine — we don't want to be overexfoliating and ruining our skin barrier. On 1 June, Hyram Yarbro — a science-based skin-care expert and influencer with 12 million followers — announced the exciting launch of his new skin-care brand, Selfless by Hyram. In partnership with The Inkey List, the aim of Selfless by Hyram is to positively impact challenges currently being faced by people and the planet — all whilst delivering incredible skin-care results. verifyErrors }}{{ message }}{{ /verifyErrors }}{{

What it’s like to use it: You know the drill by now—I haven’t used this long enough in isolation to glean what benefit it has on my skin. However, I can speak to the short-term experience. The formula is thin like water, clear, and odorless, just like the Mandelic & Rice Brain serum. In fact, I wouldn’t know the difference between the two if you blindfolded me. What I’d be more interested to know is if, long-term, I could tell the difference between the results if I used them side by side, limited to one half of my face each without knowing which was which. Of course, no one would actually use the products that way, but I’m curious as to why Hyram decided to include two gentle exfoliating products (both of which contain salicylic acid) that boast similar claims as well as a retinol, which in and of itself is exfoliating. Niacinamide & Maracuja is a daily moisturizer formulated to support your skin's barrier. Best for oily, combination and breakout prone skin.​New and EXCLUSIVE to Cult Beauty, the effective, gentle and eco-conscious { skin care} range from our favourite sk-influencer, Hyram Yarbro, has arrived! Though we’re not sure you’ll need all that much convincing, here’s three reasons to add this eagerly anticipated line to your basket ASAP… 1. It’s the brainchild of the internet’s favourite skin care fanatic Salicylic Acid & Sea Kelp is a non-irritating treatment, suitable for daily use, which will help to decongest pores and encourage oil control. I got my hands on all five of the Selfless by Hyram products ahead of the launch, so read on to see what I thought of each product in the lineup. Spoiler: they're all pretty great. My personal favorite from the line is the Centella & Green Tea Hydrating Gel Cleanser. Unlike some cleansers I’ve tried, this one actually removes all my makeup and leaves my skin feeling super clean, without feeling dry. Plus, my skin looks noticeably less red, thanks to the green tea complex.

What it claims: Retinol, a derivative of vitamin A, can help prevent acne as well as reduce the appearance of acne scarring, fine lines, and wrinkles in the skin. It’s often touted as a holy grail anti-aging ingredient. This serum puts a 2% retinol at the forefront of its ingredient list, claiming that it can smooth the skin and even out its tone. It also includes rainbow algae to reduce the appearance of hyperpigmentation; tranexamic acid, a synthetic derivative of amino acid lysine, to prevent or reduce already-existing dark spots; and squalane, a lipid derived from plants or animals, to hydrate. You can apply four to five drops every evening, assuming you’re not using another exfoliant, like the Mandelic Acid & Rice Bran. Retinol can increase sensitivity to the sun, so it’s best to only apply this at night and be vigilant about sunscreen application in the morning. The bottle contains 1 ounce of formula. What it claims: There’s no question that salicylic acid is a go-to ingredient for preventing and treating acne. It’s also an ingredient Hyram has recommended before in products like the Paula’s Choice 2% BHA Liquid Exfoliant, which I used nightly before switching up my routine to try this line. Hyram’s iteration on a salicylic acid serum contains (ahem) 0.5% salicylic acid to unclog pores; niacinamide to control oil production; succinic acid, a naturally occurring chemical, to reduce bacteria and prevent future breakouts; and sea kelp to repair and protect the skin barrier from outside stressors and moisture loss. You’ll want to shake the bottle and apply three to five drops to the skin every morning after cleansing. The bottle contains one ounce. I want to believe there was good intent here, and that the pricing is justified, but it feels like a cash grab and if he really cared about the planet, he wouldn't have started another skincare line. Through Selfless by Hyram I want to connect the beauty industry with social change," Yarbro said. "My goal is to help people by not only creating high quality skin care with incredible formulations, but to also give people an opportunity to empower others around the world who are impacted by some of the biggest global issues known to our generation. I want to help people change the world just by doing their skin-care routine."Centella & Green Tea Cleanser will help to soothe and calm the skin whilst providing hydration and is therefore suitable for all skin types. Last month, Hyram Yarbro — self-taught skin-care expert and influencer with 12 million followers on TikTok — announced the launch of his new skin-care brand, Selfless by Hyram. In partnership with The Inkey List, the aim of Selfless by Hyram is to positively impact challenges currently being faced by people and the planet — all while delivering incredible skin-care results. As of this week, the products have officially hit Sephora stores. The stars of the show are mandelic acid, an alpha hydroxy acid that is one of the best for sensitive skin, which is all down to having a larger molecule than other AHAs, and rice bran (also known as phytic acid), which is a gentle AHA with antioxidant properties working to neutralise free radical damage to the skin. These two powerhouses are combined with polyhydroxy acids, the most gentle acid exfoliators out there — due to an even larger molecule and thus causing less irritation — working to unclog pores by dissolving dead skin cells. All of these ingredients work together to slough away dead skin cells, leaving a brighter, smoother complexion.

Please do not leave hate in the comments. These are just my thoughts about the brand. One never knows what to expect when people famous for critiquing products bring out ranges of their own,” she explains, “Have they learned from the mistakes of others, or are they just very good at pointing them out?What it claims: A pea-sized amount of this moisturizer can be used in the morning and evening after cleansing the skin and adding any treatments. It claims that the 5% niacinamide, a form of vitamin B3, reduces the skin’s oil and the appearance of pores; maracujá, an oil from passion fruit seeds, strengthens the skin barrier and promotes healing in damaged or weak skin; madecassoside, an extract from the centella asiatica plant, soothes sensitive skin; and murumuru butter, an extract from the seeds of palm trees, softens the skin. It’s suitable for all skin types and comes with 1.7 ounces. Retinol & Rainbow Algae is a gentle repair treatment which targets post-breakout marks and hyperpigmentation. This can be built up to daily use on even sensitive skin and is best for, but not limited to, those with acne-prone skin and wish to improve hyperpigmentation.
