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." 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 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.

Yarbro decided to partner with The Inkey List, a brand known for its high-quality, yet affordable products, because of his longtime appreciation for its lineup. “The Inkey List has been one of the most featured brands on my channel,” he explains. “If you look at most of my videos, you'll find at least one Inkey List product recommended just because their ingredients and overall formulation philosophy directly align with my own.” 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. 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.) Niacinamide & Maracuja is a daily moisturizer formulated to support your skin's barrier. Best for oily, combination and breakout prone skin.​

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. The other head-scratcher is whether you’re supposed to incorporate all of these products into your routine as a skincare system. My guess is no, considering you’re supposed to use the Retinol & Rainbow Algae every evening, but not in tandem with the Mandelic Acid & Rice Bran (recommended for every other evening). It seems as though you would have to choose between these two products, but you can use the Salicylic Acid & Sea Kelp alongside them, as long as you’re only using it in the morning per instructions. To me, even being a skincare fanatic, it feels like too many products to have in my routine, even choosing between the retinol and mandelic acid serums. 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.

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.

Centella & Green Tea Hydrating Gel Cleanser

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 The Selfless by Hyram Salicylic Acid & Sea Kelp Pore Clearing and Oil Control Serum prevents breakouts. 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. 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. Salicylic Acid & Sea Kelp is a non-irritating treatment, suitable for daily use, which will help to decongest pores and encourage oil control.

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. 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 neutralize 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.Each Selfless By Hyram product is formulated mindfully to deliver visible results without excess active ingredients. 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. And on top of that, I do feel like there's a lot of greenwashing going on here. Yes, it gives to charity but the marketing all says "this skincare brand is going to change the world" and while someone could argue that this brand is good because it can compete with unethical brands...Selfless by Hyram is still creating a lot of waste and its price points and products are not competitive on the market. The Selfless by Hyram Retinol & Rainbow Algae Repair Serum claims to even the skin's texture and tone.
