In this week's episode, we dive into the saga of RFLCT by Valkyrae— the skincare brand developed by YouTube's biggest female streamer that was forced to shut down before it even launched. We explore the backlash surrounding the brand's claims that the products offered blue light protection and aim to answer the question: Why did the gaming community respond so severely to these claims when beauty brands have been formulating products with blue light protection for years? And could blue light skincare really be a scam?
