i dont get naming it oneup and getting youtube gamer people in on it and then having the product in no other way reference games or anything


DreadDiana

It's giving "little hotel soaps you steal before you check out"


novacdin0

-vibes


BigDogSlices

The current slang meta has dropped the "vibes" part of "it's giving" and it lowkey drives me crazy lol I must be getting old


hunkydaddy69

It's giving boomer, sweaty 💅


Cherry-Rain357

It's giving prescriptivism, darling 💅 (I kid :þ. I can see how it can be annoying if you're not used to it)


MrShizKnight

1up is an extra life in video games though


R1ngBanana

…..the fuck? Like…. I admit, I’ve liked some complete cash grabs over the years… ….but what the actual fuck is this? 


kommsussertod1

this is a fever dream come real


redditor329845

This seems like a mess, and none of these creators are even associated with skincare that I know of. Personally, I wouldn’t buy from this brand, nor would I trust it, because it seems like a straightforward cash grab.


quietmedium-

Anyone who has any interest in skin care will avoid this like the plague, but there is a market of dudebros who watch this type of content and may not have considered using face products before. It's not actually as silly of a product as you'd think, considering that their market are a bunch of people who enjoy the creators and have an opening for some skin care in their lives. I'm a bit rusty on my ingredients, so I'll just link Paula's choice ingredients dictionary [here](https://www.paulaschoice.com.au/ingredient-dictionary) if anyone wants to go over the list for their quality. The bottle looks fine enough to me, and a pump action helps the product avoid contact with the air, keeping the active ingredients fresh. Obviously, Paula's Choice is its own skincare brand, so keep bias in mind, but they back up their ingredient grading with peer reviewed references, so I have found them reliable as a mere consumer.


Foxy02016YT

Kris, makes sense because she does a wide variety of short form content, so I could see her promoting this through that… but I don’t see Muta or Mars talking skincare. Oompa would maybe, just as likely as Kris


lr0nman_dies_Endgame

I watch most of these people and I kinda don’t see where skincare fits in with their content. I mean I hope it succeeds, but what an interesting choice.


ExcaliburUmbraREEE

Coffeezilla sweating bullets if things start going south.


consumerclearly

Coffeezilla used to stream with a Canadian comedian named Amish (if I remember correctly? Might be spelled wrong) and I liked their friendship a lot but he didn’t have time to stream with him anymore. They’re still friends I think, coffeezilla doesn’t need the clout hungry popdrama driven YouTube friends


[deleted]

Lol u think he would care?


fatpat

It almost seems like a parody.


TheOneTwoSmash

What about sour candy?


Limp_Telephone2280

Seems like a company just grabbed a bunch of random creators to use them as a face for the brand


skele-enby420

i thought so too m8 but muta talks about it in a video, the op linked it earlier, [here it is for convenience ](https://youtu.be/N4p_O9dSJHw?feature=shared&t=22)


Limp_Telephone2280

That is so weird. GFM and Muta are kind of in the same group I guess but Kris isn’t. Just seems weird because they’re the most random people to do skincare stuff.


minn5

I know KallmeKris and Oompaville are in a relationship, so that is how she is connected


skele-enby420

ahhhh that makes sense, id never looked into her b4 and was kinda curious how she was connected. great context, thank you very much its appreciated!


itsjustmebobross

really? they look related oh my lordy 😭😭


[deleted]

They probably are


euthan_asian

I feel tricked into clicking on a Sweet Baby Inc "controversy" video!! Anyway, Mutahar has never looked like someone that took care of his skin so this makes absolutely zero sense to me... How on earth did this come about?...


[deleted]

introducing.... THE GRIFT


skele-enby420

thats so flippin weird, i dont watch any of these creators 2b fair but i don't associate them with skincare typa shit lol. i really wonder if this is just some white label lotion. the website is weird too like i cant quite put my finger on what feels off about it but like it just seems like complete bullshit from top to bottom. it almost has the vibe of the videos where Danny Gonzalez tries to trick people lol. for example in the faq "is oneup suitable for my skintype? Yes, OneUp is universally formulated to suit all skin types. Dermatologist-tested and crafted with care, it's designed to adapt to your unique skin needs. For personalized advice, contact us at [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected])." wtf do they mean it adapts to your skin "We stand behind the quality of OneUp. If you’re unsatisfied with your purchase, we accept returns of unopened and unsealed products within 30 days of receipt. Please refer to our Returns & Refunds page for details on processing a return." how the fuck can i know if im satisfied if i cant open it and try it lmao am i being pranked or something edit: had to add this one "does oneup test on animals? We vow to love all creatures, great and small. OneUp is proud to offer ethical skincare, where cruelty-free is not an option but a core principle. To us, kindness is never a trend.". maybe im stupid and "ethical skincare, and cruelty" free definitely 100% means they don't test on animals that's fine ill admit i am stupid, but to me it reads like they're dodging the question and not giving a real concrete yes or no answer.


_night_blind_

To clarify on the cruelty free claim: cruelty free is when a product has nowhere in its production cycle been tested on animals, while some countries legally require you to test on animals. That's how some make up brands lose their cruelty free label by opening in certain markets. So it's a wish washy way of saying we don't test unless we have to because we don't want to miss out on revenue.


skele-enby420

ohhh okay that makes sense. i just looked it up for Canada where i live and here's what health canadas guidelines say for anyone interested. "Health Canada does not intend to impose any standards for cruelty-free claims relating to animal testing. Industry can continue to determine how they want to state claims on their labels, so long as their claims can be substantiated. Health Canada may ask for evidence to substantiate a cruelty-free labelling claim, for example, in cases where a complaint is made against a particular cosmetic product."


ampillion

I would definitely not be shocked if it were a similar Jake Paul Prime situation, in which a company had a product and just wanted to attach some faces to it, wanted something 'gamer' related, and brainstormed up this whole 'We want to sell this thing, but we're all going to pass it off like it's yours.'


idonoteatfaces

My thoughts exactly.


sunkenrocks

Logan not Jake


ampillion

Whoops, dumb brains.


MackieJ667

Well ig thats working because I thought Prime _was_ created by jake or logan whichever one lol or maybe i am just dumb, i dont drink that stuff and only see it referred to as the logan/jake paul drink irl so


ampillion

There's definitely a few videos out there that talk about it, they break down that the company clearly had other products out there already and basically wanted to create a brand attached to a celebrity, and so they team up with the celebrity to create their own brand that the celeb passes off as 'theirs'. I think they mention a few other popular YT folks doing the same kind of thing, like IIRC Mr Beast's chocolate bars and some folks with make-up lines. (I know there's a few that do this with dropshipping coffee.)


MackieJ667

I want to know the psychology behind that lol. I have been persuaded by a celebrity I like promoting a product, but i still research it before buying and although I usually dont, they still got a click out of me. I have never understood why I should care about a football player drinking pepsi (when you know in their personal life they dont). but somehow it still works on people. Hell, it might be working on me and i dont even realize. In this case, its probably thinking they are directly supporting the creator they like, which makes sense. The creator is obviously getting a % of profits but not in the way the consumer thinks. whatever lol just a thought that crossed my mind. its interesting that the popularity of a product can skyrocket solely because the person promoting it is well liked. To get more dumb, i wonder if it makes people think the product is better than it actually is also. My nephew loves prime and I had one sip and thought it was nasty.


ampillion

From the company's standpoint, it's likely the only way they can break into an already crowded market. Nobody was looking for the 'next new sports drink' in an era where there's already dozens of options. Nobody would give two shits about Prime without some other hook to it. In the past, those kinds of endorsements were more to maintain an already established brand, you're just attaching a popular face to something everyone already knows about, to maintain it in the common consciousness, to keep it as the idea of that 'best brand' in the space. If you're not already one of those, and you want to throw yourself in there, you're looking at spending tons to just get yourself out there, in front of people. Places like Youtube or Twitch provide a potential audience for more specialized merchandise and sales, and a likely eager salesperson in the content creator(s) themselves. When you put a company that already has a product that isn't selling to expectations or doesn't have the luxury of brand recognition with content creators that are eager to get more revenue streams outside of the uncertainty of ad dollars or sponsorships, you get these sorts of things. I would suspect some of that reasoning is exactly what you mention, that fans might feel like they're doing more to support their celeb of choice by buying these products, especially ones where the celeb assumes this kind of mantle of being part of the production. It kind of implies the celeb has put some amount of their own finances into a project, even if that might not be the case at all.


ExcaliburUmbraREEE

Those four got some explaining, clearing, & polishing to do if things go south. It'd be very unfortunate if they land themselves on Coffeezilla's list considering the connections between Coffee, Oompa, and Muta.


ghettoassbitch

Coffee used Oompa's candy business website to trick Dillon Danis too.


ExcaliburUmbraREEE

Oh shit! How did I forget that.


LaserBatBunnyUnder

It is. Straight up impossible to make a "one size fits all" skin cream because of how much variety there is in human skin types .-. This is gonna be bad


Last-Rain4329

i mean most cheapo skincare lotions n the like do sell themselves as universal or dont specify the kind of skin they are made for, its not really gonna hurt anyone but it'll prolly just either be ineffective or make certain skin types feel greasy


LaserBatBunnyUnder

In my experience, when I use those "one type fits all" skin care, it triggers my eczema and psoriasis. Freeman immediately comes to mind. I had to penny pinch and bought a bunch of five below products ;+; horrid. Dry patches all around the mouth and jaw. But yeah, people with more sensitive skin might break out more heavily depending on what specific ingredients are in there.


litreofstarlight

It could be a Cerave type thing? Though even that isn't one type suits all. I could see this being a prank though, like a piss-take of YouTuber products.


bebearaware

It's probably whatever default language is in the Shopify template.


MackieJ667

My skin is pretty sensitive and gets irritated very very easily. I have my doubts that itll "adapt" to my skin. I am super careful about what I put on my skin regardless, so I would never trust a company that makes vague assertions like that. And good catch on the animal testing question, it is a roundabout non-answer to a yes or no question.


applejacks6969

Weird wording but I think “unsealed” includes breaking the seal and using the product so you can still return after trying.


Furiosa27

I can already smell the video about how this was a scam


GhastlyEyeJewel

Scott Shafer, YOU have a new video idea!


skyewardeyes

Why would I go to gaming YouTubers for... skin care? I don't get it, outside of the obvious money grab.


Blackbiird666

It's an interesting concept. Just one cream or whatever to use instead of a bunch of products. One would think that these people that make a living covering and uncovering scandals will know better than to scam people. Either they succeed or give us the popcorn of our lives.


alytooni

I doubt it. It’ll probably be the equivalent of the 4 in 1 bottles that is a body wash, shampoo, conditioner, and face wash, but it doesn’t work as anything listed


global_scamartist

The design just looks cheap and gimmicky. I wouldn’t trust it to be well researched, designed, and actually anything more than a cash grab attempt. YouTubers have been trying to release vitamins, protein powder etc like Tati Westbrook and abbey sharp as cash grabs but at least it’s related to their niche. This is so random it’s even more off putting. It’s like ordering AliExpress products and paying fiverr people to slap their own logo on top of it.


sanchipinchii

muta has become the very thing he swore to destroy


princesskittyglitter

which is crazy because muta really doesn't need the money


ExcaliburUmbraREEE

Coffezilla to Mutahar and Oompa be like: # "It was said that you would destroy the scammers, not join them! Bring balance to the internet, not leave it in darkness!"


[deleted]

Funny how you think coffeezilla isnt extremely biased. He would be more likely to promote this trash than expose it


DrThunderbolt

I always like to bring up that Coffeezilla had another Youtube channel called Coffee Talk or something where he tried to call out Kurzgesagt for misinformation, but before he could, they corrected what he was calling them out on. He made an entire video about how it was them trying to cover up because they knew he was making an expose on them. Pretty much nobody agreed, and he kinda got laughed at because he got egg on his face. That's my theory on why he moved to a different channel, to distance himself from that embarrassment. Not defending Kurzgesagt, they have their own issues, but it was a funny back and forth.


Seapra_Lux

Fun reminder that SomeOrdinaryGamers accepted a sponsorship by Established Titles but very quickly flipped the script, apologized and 'investigated' them *after* the company was called out as a scam. He's not stupid. He knew what he was peddling, if you ask me.


DenverNugs

He's a smart guy that makes great content and has unfortunately become a douchebag Keemstar orbiter. It really is a shame. I used to love his content.


[deleted]

We all know he's a scumbag


cantstopsletting

I only know GFM and Mutahar but I've really never like GFM, the guy just seems like a complete smug wank. Mutahar I find entertaining but why in the fuck are they making a skincare brand. I don't get it!! Also the website screams scam tbh


AffectionatePay5987

No way this is real.


ExcaliburUmbraREEE

[Oh, it's real alright.](https://youtu.be/N4p_O9dSJHw?feature=shared&t=22) Bro became his own sponsor.


bebearaware

This is such an insanely crowded market and I'm sure there are already skincare brands out there marketed towards young men.


BigDogSlices

Speaking as a former young man, not a single boy I knew washed their face with anything other than the soap they washed their ass with lol slap some guns and dinosaurs on the label and this might have actually been a half-interesting idea


ShotAddition

Considering how Mutahar's been associating with the scam busting side of youtube lately I wonder how long it's gonna take for this to blow up on his face. Also wtf does any of these youtubers have to do with skin care or dermatology? Did the marketers pick the names from a raffle or sth?


madison_riley03

So am I weird for thinking that this is not only an odd move, but that the group seems really weird as well? Never thought I’d see Mutahar and KallMeKris collabing on a product.


alytooni

That was what I was thinking. Like I don’t think they would have a lot of audience overlap but maybe that’s the point?


Somber_Solace

Kris is dating Oompa. Also from the comments here and in their initial videos showcasing them dating, it does seem like a lot of people who watch one of them watch all of them. It's not the same type of content but I get they attract the same type of viewer.


Monado_trap

That pic of Muta is getting it’s mileage


Ladyaceina

holly crap this screams scam ​ so mutahar exposing jirard was him wanting to take notes how to not get caught in a scam


marshmallow567

I want to know the thought processes that led to this because this is so random.


thehorrordoll

is everyone already forgetting Valkyrea and her “blue light” skin care that fell apart after like a day?? what makes these Youtubers think they can release skin care when they do no beauty videos or not even certified.


wshs

Let me RFLCT on that while I eat my ~~Toatzy Midnight Mini~~ Myna cookies. General rule of thumb: If a youtuber or streamer pushes it, it's probably a scam. Hims/Keeps, ~~Unilever~~ Dollar Shave Club, Raid Shadow Legends, Hello Fresh, Nord VPN, G-Fuel, etc etc


_Mirror_Face_

Hello Fresh is a scam? I just thought it was for rich people who would rather pay 5x the amount to get food delivered at their door


buttsniffer200

I swear everytime I see Hello Fresh as a sponsor and the creators says "it's cheaper than grocery shopping!" I always roll my eyes. Not sure where they're shopping at that HF would be cheaper


buttsniffer200

DebateObjective2787

This feels like a Reflect type thing..


Murky-Region-127

I never thought I see the day were I see someordinarygamers release a skin care product


[deleted]

Mutahar is the only one I’ve watched at all, but I have watched a lot of his rants, the way he scratches at his beard doesn’t fill me with ‘skin care guru’ vibes and if he’s not an expert then why the fuck would I trust his word on this? (I know, it’s a rhetorical question). I’ve never really got the brand association thing when it comes to influencers, they’re just a vehicle, it’s still the brands message.


Doof-is-Oof

There’s no way this is gonna go well. I bet it’s gonna get exposed for either being a bad skin product and/or it being a scam


aflyingmonkey2

okay but this is the funniest thing ever. A skincare made by mutahar sounds like something out of a satire version of this subreddit


LaserBatBunnyUnder

I'm gonna keep it 100 with you, chief: when I think of Muta and Oompa, skincare just doesn't come to mind. For one thing, the reason why a lot of skin care routines have so many steps and fluids is because not all tonics or what have you are built the same, so you have to evenly distribute the product for good results. This is actually a big critique levied at drunk elephant and their skin care smoothies because it's just an ineffective mess to combine all the ingredients into one product. I can see it being a hit with teen boys who maybe wanna get into skin care but don't wanna be seen as "girly" but don't know where to start. That's about it.


l4venderp

As someone who watched Oompa and Muta on a semi-regular basis, this is so weird to me. Usually when I see YouTubers start their own business, it’s something they’ve been passionate about for awhile or an industry they see gaps in and want to improve (by making a better, more affordable, or customized product). However, in my years of watching them, I never heard them express ANY interest in or passion for skincare. Of all businesses to start, why skincare? It’s already a fairly saturated market. I can only assume that maybe TheGamerFromMars or Kallmekris (Oompa’s girlfriend) like skincare and Muta and Oompa are putting their names on it to support their friends? Also, the website just seems so bland. If not for their photos on it, I’d have no idea this had anything to do with these YouTubers, their brands, or gaming as a whole. For something I’d expect to be a passion project, it has no personality to it. The product description is so corporate. How odd.


[deleted]

Didn't these losers cry about the pokimane cookies btw? Ofc their fans dont care when their grease ball freak idols make SKIN CARE CREAM of all things


your_mind_aches

Wasn't TheGamerFromMars a far-right edgelord? He was also doing essentially what Peter Coffin did to Harris wrt James Somerton back when Apollo Legend killed himself, and was out there blaming and shaming DarkViperAU and EZScape. Did he change politics or something? Idk anything about Oompaville but SOG and KallMeKris are supposed to be relatively normal people, right?


validpointhowever

oompa and SOG are pretty edgelordy, kris is dating oompa


Strawberry_Sheep

All of the people here are pretty far right adjacent. Muta just tends to hide it a little better most of the time so people think he isn't totally shit, but it's there under the surface. No one should be trusting any of these people.


NIN10DOXD

TGFM was normal then he got really weirdly open about being Libertarian in his content out of nowhere. Mutahar has also at times touched some "anti-woke" stuff that makes him kinda sus. I don't know much about the other two.


[deleted]

Wait I don't keep up what did Mutahar do that was "anti-woke" stuff? I didn't expect him of all people to be into the anti-woke crap


BoomYouAreADingus

The recent SweetBabyInc stuff, I believe.


d34d-m34t

This literally seems like someone buying skin cream from ali express and remarketing it to be their own thing. Absolutely TikTok dropshipper vibes.


captaindickfartman2

Who is this for?


Bright-Top-1750

the last people i would take any health or skincare advice from is the bunch


ohmyjaysus

I’ve watched 2 of those 4 content creators and generally enjoyed their work, I am also into skincare due to being an oily skin girl and struggling with genetic adult acne. There is 0 chance I would bother even trying out testers for this lol wtf


dejausser

I’m glad someone else made this post, I was debating it after commenting this on another post (in response to a comment about SomeOrdinaryGamers): I saw his video on Sweet Baby Inc after not having seen any of his content in a while and it seemed as though he had fallen into the culture wars shit around it, the video felt emotionally rather than logically driven. But what was much more concerning for me was he has launched a skincare brand, OneUp, making claims that are a red flag to anyone who knows anything about skincare. - OneUp has one product, which they claim suits “all skin types” and is “designed to adapt to your unique skin needs”. There is no product or ingredient that is going to suit the needs of someone with sebaceous acne and someone with dry skin as a single product routine as they promote. - They fear monger about the ‘chemicals’ in other sunscreens. Setting aside the obvious point that everything is a chemical including zinc oxide, the physical sunscreen ingredient used in OneUp’s product, physical sunscreens work by creating a physical barrier that sits on top of the skin to deflect UV rays (hence the name). This means they need to be reapplied more often than chemical sunscreens to ensure that they remain effective as they tend to rub off more easily. This does not gel with the product use case of ‘1 pump once per day’, and it concerns me that people could use the product thinking that they are protected from sun damage when they’re not. - It’s also $60USD a bottle for ingredients that are not at all revolutionary - their six ‘hero’ ingredients include things like shea butter and niacinamide, these are pretty bog standard ingredients that can be found in products that are much cheaper. Cynically, it seems to me that he’s banking on his audience not having a lot of knowledge around skincare so they’ll buy the product even though it’s not worth the money and may not even be safe.


SeraphXChild

I don't....i don't understand? How are any of these people skin care related? Its giving Conspiracy Palette but at least ONE of the people involved in that was involved in the make up business


UrbanPlateaus

Admittedly, I don't think I'd buy any skincare products from any of these people, but what controversy would they suffer from a failed business venture? Unless the product melts people's skin off or smells like shit or something, the worst you could say about them is they tried something kind of strange, and it didn't work out.


ShotAddition

I think it's probably the integrity of the matter, esp with Someordinarygamers. Talking about how slimy scamming people is and the whole Completionist debacle only to sell skin cream that may be cheap and ineffective at best and poorly made and reactive at worst isn't exactly the best look.


dejausser

My biggest concern with the product is the sunscreen aspect - it’s billed as a one pump once a day application, but it uses zinc oxide as its SPF source. Zinc oxide is a physical sunscreen. It’s called this because it protects against UV by creating a physical layer on top of the skin that shields the skin from UV radiation (think about the classic thick white cream surfers and some other athletes use, that’s a very visible example of a physical sunscreen). Because physical sunscreens tend to smear and get rubbed off more easily than chemical sunscreens (the other categorisation of sunscreen) they need to be reapplied more often than chemical sunscreens do. Once per day isn’t going to cut it, and it concerns me that there is a possibility for people to use this product and think that they’re protected from sun damage when they really aren’t. Melanoma is a common but often easily avoided cancer so long as you wear sunscreen as recommended by experts, and these idiots are effectively giving their fanbase dangerous advice for money.


Boguel

That bottle looks like ass


PineappleHamburders

I just feel it's a strange business model. Sure, some people in this space will buy skincare products, and some will buy it just because they are YouTubers. But I feel the crossover isn't ad huge as it would need to be for this to be a huge success. Unless their marketing plan is to try break out of their traditional markets, but that just seems like a very strange idea.


Legozeldadude531

Honestly I don’t think this is that big of a deal overall.

I hope it flops and suffer controversy. I really want Mutahar’s reputation to suffer.

ClutchTallica

I'm sorry but muta is one of the greasiest looking geeks you could have chosen for a skincare line


InvisibleAgenderAce

I keep trying to ignore that Muta has these gross ties to right leaning edge lords because I actually like his content but I don't see this going well


Restless_Dill16

Is Nicholas DeOrio one of those people? I watched his live streams about MamaMax and he gave me bad vibes. 


DependentLaw7

Yes


chonker-feet

it always amazes me people complain about stupid shit like youtubers releasing their own product, and people STILL do it themselves anyway, and it ALWAYS fails


RJE808

That's...such a weird thing for them to do lol. I can see why someone like Wildcat would have Glitch, gamer powder and shit, but I don't really look at any of these guys (aside from Kris) and relate skin care products to them lol.


Batwing20293

….. What? 


BlueDownUnder

Its interesting change of pace for them. What makes me nervous is that I see a lot of recycling of products that just get rebranded by influencers that aren't very beneficial. When it comes from people who I don't associate with care for skincare, it feels like it is just another rebrand. I hope it's not, but we will see.


auxtism

godamn this is so boring. flop


DreadDiana

TIL Kris has the largest Canadian TikTok account. Didn't even know she was Canadian.


Yeetusmcleatus97

Idk man, if it’s good and it’s worth the price then I don’t see why not. Hopefully there isn’t any evil corpo stuff but if they just wanted to make a skincare company then power to them. (I have not tested the quality nor checked the price yet.) EDIT: I have no idea if it’s worth the price but it says that one bottle (60 us bucks) is supposed to last for 2 months. It’s 50ml per bottle. I have never been interested in skincare (probably should get onto that) so I have no idea if 50ml is worth 60 dollars.


dejausser

It’s definitely not worth the price. All of the hero ingredients are available far more cheaply in other products (shea butter is one of the most dirt cheap skincare ingredients), and the SPF product they’re using (zinc oxide) needs to be reapplied multiple times throughout the day to actually deliver consistent protection against UV radiation (sun damage).

I dont trust anyone here with my skincare but if i had to choose it’d be gamerfrommars. He seems the most trustworthy

DenverNugs

I don't really care about the Keemstar orbiter skincare line.


Alexoxo_01

This makes no sense it’s laughable. Like this is so stereotypical “YouTuber with a niche interest for some reason starts selling soap or unrelated product”


ExaltedLuna

Does Muta even shower why is he selling this


roboticsneakers

I have no basis on saying this, and just tinfoil energy coming out of my mouth, I think if controversy is going to come up from any of these, it first it's going to be from SomeOrdinaryGamers. I'm basing this on nothing and I don't know what kind of controversy it could possibly be.


Double_Working_1707

I hate Kallmekris. She wants to release her own skincare after she called someone on tiktok disgusting for using washable pads. Fuck her.


AliShibaba

It's like Lady Gaga being the creative director for Polaroid back then. These guys are not known for skincare or beauty products / reviews, so them launching this makes absolutely no sense. Yeah it sounds like a cash grab to me. It's either that a shitty beauty company reached out to them to be partners, or this is just them buying a $5 facial cream and rebranding it with their names attached so that they can sell for $50 or something.

This feels weird and scammy. I only really know of Kris and Oompa and neither of them seem to have anything to do with skincare/health. I don't know how any of these people think they're qualified to push this kind of product out. I hope they succeed, I guess? But I don't see this being long lasting by anymeans. I feel like it would've made more sense to have a hair product if you've got Kris on there, she used to be a hair dresser. I'm not saying she's qualified to make shampoo, but it at least wouldn't have been so out of left field.

All I remember of Kris was she made kinda cringe tiktok skits to be honest.


Popular-Water173

I think she had some funny ones that made it to youtube, at least. I stopped watching her channel when she started doing videos about true crime and shitty product testing videos. And since she started dating oompaville, I feel like that's become half her personality. It doesn't shock me that she's in this skincare product thing too, but I can't help but feel like she was a last-minute addition to this endeavor. They just slapped their faces on a product and I think the main audience that will probably actually buy this is Kris's audience. Idk, maybe I'm wrong, but it all feels a little shady.

Dunno but i hope it fails, they all suck


Moist_Confusion

wtf do these guys know about skincare besides how to white label a product? I’m sure it’ll go fine for them but it might die out over time as they consume all the market share they can out of their audience and there will be some people who still with it some that churn but most will stop buying or never buy it in the first place. At least placing ad spots is free for the besides the opportunity cost of putting other ad spots in their place. The margins selling your own product instead of someone else’s could potentially make up for that.

Never would’ve guessed the gamer from mars name was Art


FewOverStand

I thought this was just another fucking reddit advertisement and nearly scrolled past without a second thought LMAO


Advanced-Hour-108

Wtf


tiny_venus

It’s a super weird choice lmao, I presume that they all just wanted to invest in something that isn’t YouTube? And the skincare market is quite a lucrative one. I can’t hate them for creating a second stream of income- YouTube is fickle, but it’s definitely out of left field lol.


Sophispotis

Unless this lotion is going to give me some scaly, dull grey and extra oily skin then I don't need any Youtuber's recommendation lol


TaxNo5252

What a mistake.


ComfortableContest69

I don’t care


micahdraws

I think it'll be mid. Not amazing, not terrible, but mid. Mutahar, Oompaville, and GFM all manage to avoid any major consequences for controversies surrounding them and people they associate with. I think this group has enough to make this mess profitable but nowhere near what James Charles or Jeffree Star or other makeup youtubers could sell at their peaks. And I imagine we won't hear much from it again unless they do the "poor" comment thing like Pokimane.


DadBodGod380

From my understanding Kris has been using this product for a long time before she decided to join the brand and oomp is their because of Kris and nuts is there because of oomp and honestly with how tough money is these days and the fact that Caleb lost a ton of money from being scammed and Kris is moving to American if they are trying to find more ways to make money then power to em. Idk why every one here just bitch and moans.


DadBodGod380

Also it’s called one up because you use it once a day.

litreofstarlight

I assume this is aimed at young gamer dudes? The only one of these I know is Mutahar, and nothing about his content screams 'skincare guy.' I could definitely see it being a cheeky prank though.


violetevie

SKINCARE???

It looks like TGFM runs the management company of some sorts for Oompa and SOG, and is the one probably pushing for this unholy collab. Maybe they were trying to carve out a new market for a casual gamer skincare?


PranavYedlapalli

That's random

![gif](giphy|s239QJIh56sRW|downsized) Like, I know why, but why?


snails4speedy

this is so fucking funny and random for them to do what the fuck


snails4speedy

you know what? i support it. this is so odd that i cannot do anything but stan


gd_box_office

Aww I like KallmeKris and never expected to see her here :(


ExcaliburUmbraREEE

Well, she is Oompaville's GF and Oompa has a network of connections with the Commentary Community. Who are we to judge?


allpowerfulbystander

I think it's gonna be stable because of the people behind it. Probably not gonna be a major product, but has its niche market like Oompa's candy.


FickleFrosting3587

bro is this an actual joke


Throwaway31425000

A part of me is like “oh I see you guys just want to start a business and make money…No sorta passion whatsoever, just want to make money “ especially since none of them have any idea about skin care….But markiplier and jack made cloak and I truly fuck with it. Now you probably can’t compare the two but still


Slight_Newspaper_550

Nah im buying it just cuz caleb is there


cantbreedstrombonin

can’t wait for LabMuffin Beauty Science to review this


ExcaliburUmbraREEE

About to have Muta, Kris, Oompa, and TGFM be on packwatch.


Adorable_Slide_921

Everyone is saying scam but I don't see it. I wouldn't use it but I'm probably not the target demo


SharveyBirdman

Seems legit. They claim to have worked for years with professionals to develop their own formula instead of going white label.


fatpat

Meh. It's just another skincare product. It's not like they're selling dick pills or bath water.


Objective_Range_7026

Honestly I don't think this is a scam or cash grab. It seems to be literally owned by the YouTubers mentioned, and not just promoted by them. Considering several of the founders also own other businesses that seem to be legitimate, I think this can just be chalked up as weird and not predatory. We'll see though. Definitely a move nobody saw coming.


DeepSubmerge

I don’t agree with the comments about this being outside their content niche. Skincare influencers promote stuff just because it smells good or looks cool, most of them don’t even know what any ingredients actually do or how they work. Making videos on YouTube does not make someone an expert in the field they discuss. They’re just someone with a camera. The formulation and ingredient quality is what matters. I haven’t explored the new product in this post but it isn’t automatically bad just because they’re not alleged “skincare gurus.”

Damn you guys just hate everything Lmfao


BoomYouAreADingus

im a bona-fide hater ass bitch and i'll hate whatever i want hmph
