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. 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. verifyErrors }}{{ message }}{{ /verifyErrors }}{{ 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. Disclaimer: I mean no hate towards Hyram the human being. Please do not leave hate in the comments. These are just my thoughts about the brand.

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. 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

Thanks to its core ingredients of centella, green tea and glycerin, the formula soothed and calmed my skin, while prepping it for the next steps of my skincare routine. I truly said goodbye to redness and hello to hydrated skin. My face didn’t feel dry or irritated at all. If you are looking to brighten your skin, or smooth texture Mandelic Acid & Rice Bran is a gentle exfoliating treatment suitable for all skin types. I’ll be the one to say it—where is the sunscreen? After watching Hyram review plenty of SPF products with great attention to how easy they are to blend into the skin, what kind of white cast they leave, and how reef-friendly they are, I was surprised to not see one in the line. The Inkey List sells its SPF 30 Daily Sunscreen, so it’s not beyond the scope of the company to create one. (Maybe one is coming? Crosses fingers.)

Salicylic Acid & Sea Kelp is a non-irritating treatment, suitable for daily use, which will help to decongest pores and encourage oil control.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? 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. Each Selfless By Hyram product is formulated mindfully to deliver visible results without excess active ingredients.

Centella & Green Tea Cleanser will help to soothe and calm the skin whilst providing hydration and is therefore suitable for all skin types. To find out what a marriage of skincare and social change looked like, I put Selfless by Hyram to the test in my own beauty routine. My skin is “normal,” leaning dry in the colder months and oily in the warmer ones. I have acne scars, mostly faded hyperpigmentation on my cheeks, and some texture around my mouth and forehead. Other than those pain points, my skin is easy to take care of—it’s not sensitive, meaning I can change up my products with regularity and add in fun extras, like an exfoliating serum or a hydrating mask, with little concern for a reaction. The Selfless by Hyram Niacinamide & Maracujá Daily Barrier Support Moisturizer controls oil production and moisturizes the skin. Created in collaboration with the ingredients-focused skin care experts over at { The INKEY List}, { Selfless By Hyram} combines everything that Hyram (and his channel) have always championed: great skin care at even better prices. And, of course, its all officially #HyramApproved … 2. Gentle and efficient formulas are at the heart of the range 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.

The Selfless by Hyram Retinol & Rainbow Algae Repair Serum claims to even the skin's texture and tone. The moisturizer itself has a lightweight-lotion consistency that glides onto the skin without being too runny. I needed more than the suggested pea-sized amount—more like a blueberry’s worth of moisturizer. Without added fragrance, the product’s aroma is dirt-like and unpleasant to my nose but mild upon application and not noticeable once it absorbs into the skin. After application, my skin feels well moisturized and soft to the touch. I haven’t noticed the oil- and pore-reducing effects that the niacinamide promises, but I think my skin looks healthy when I wear this. When I’m looking for a moisturizer, I want something that’s easy to blend into the skin, non-irritating, and hydrating, and this delivers on all of those fronts. 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." What it’s like to use it: My skin used to be much drier than it is now, but I still gravitate toward creamy cleansers, like the Bliss Makeup Melt or Cerave Hydrating Cleanser for their hydrating attributes. This cleanser deviates from that pattern with its gel consistency that leaves my skin feeling film-free and cleaner than my old go-tos. With previous cleansers, I’d use my Garnier SkinActive Micellar Cleansing Water to remove my makeup and then go in with the face wash, but I’d still transfer traces of makeup when I pat my skin with a towel. The Selfless by Hyram cleanser removes all excess makeup post-micellar water, and when I’m not wearing makeup, it whisks away any sunscreen residue or oil left on my face from the day.

The Selfless by Hyram Mandelic Acid & Rice Bran Gentle Exfoliating Serum exfoliates without irritating the skin. 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. 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: 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.
