TikTok Skincare Trend Watch

TikTok is the social media platform where trends are born, and 800 million people can’t get enough of these short-form videos and challenges, which offer instruction on everything from wrapping the perfect sandwich to placing faux freckles to whitening (or even straightening) your teeth at home. And beauty/skincare is among the hottest TikTok categories—boasting 21.8 billion hashtag views, according to Statista.

A new pore mousse that promises to suck dirt out of skin sold out in four hours after a video of its use went viral on Tik Tok. But is this really a thing?

“The Neogen Pore Tight Peeling Mousse apparently works well for oily skin and is very exfoliating,” says Jeanine B. Downie, MD, FAAD, director of image Dermatology PC in Montclair, NJ. But, she cautions, if your skin runs from sensitive to dry, this could be very irritating.

“The ingredients in it that are called anti-aging include marine algae complex, carrageen moss extract, and hydrolyzed collagen,” she explains. “These ingredients can make your skin feel smoother. However, I do not believe that these ingredients will decrease fine lines and wrinkles and honestly slow down the aging of your skin.”

Her bottom line? “Smoother skin does not mean that your skin is anti-aged. I would be cautious with this product unless you have very oily skin.”
