Influencer who tried Valkyrae\u2019s RFLCT gives damning review Macaiyla\/Cloud9\/ValkyraeCloud9 Twitch streamer Macaiyla was sent Valkyrae\u2019s new skincare line RFLCT and shared a thoughtful response to the product amid the controversy surrounding it. 100 Thieves co-owner and YouTuber Valkyrae made headlines on October 19 when her new skincare brand RFLCT was launched, claiming to protect its users from \u201cblue light pollution.\u201d The product immediately received a wave of backlash, as many critics noted the lack of conclusive evidence suggesting blue light is damaging to the skin. When Twitch streamer Macaiyla was sent the RFLCT product to try out, she gave her thoughts on it as well as her opinion on the hate flying Valkyrae\u2019s way and the streamers who publicly supported her. Macaiyla on RFLCT Macaiyla received the RFLCT package days after the announcement, stating that she will eventually give a full review of the product on her YouTube channel. As of now she wouldn\u2019t recommend the product, and said: \u201d Obviously aside from the blue light issue, do I still think it\u2019s worth buying?\u2026no. But an honest review about it doesn\u2019t hurt imo.\u201d Valkyrae sent me a package from her new line RFLCT. I\u2019d like to film a review of it and go over the ingredients and how the products are. Obviously aside from the blue light issue, do I still think it\u2019s worth buying?\u2026no. But an honest review about it doesn\u2019t hurt imo- pic.twitter.com\/tXE4K9mQnZ \u2014 C9 Caiyla (@macaiyla) October 21, 2021 The streamer said fans shouldn\u2019t be harassing other streamers who supported Valkyrae throughout the debacle, and noted: \u201cI don\u2019t think it\u2019s cool to shame any of her friends that support her. Not everyone knows about blue light (even myself). It\u2019s a 2 year project and I think people just wanted to send congrats like normal people do\u2026don\u2019t think most influencers are trying to help promote a scam\u2026\u201d However, this doesn\u2019t shield Valkyrae entirely from criticism. Macaiyla confessed, \u201cI do think she deserves a bit of backlash on this project because it is a lie.\u201d Macaiyla continued, \u201cif you co-found anything, you are responsible for knowing about it no matter what.\u201d She wrapped up her thoughts on a decisive note adding, \u201cLet\u2019s look at a positive here. She will help her younger audience get into skincare which to me is extremely important. But this could\u2019ve also been a huge opportunity to sell sunscreen. It\u2019s literally the most important product of all so it\u2019s a bit sad that she didn\u2019t include it.\u201d Macaiyla\u2019s verdict on RFLCT is quite damning, as she wouldn\u2019t recommend it, but we\u2019ll have to wait and see what\u2019s in store for the product\u2019s future as Valkrae\u2019s team looks to fix the problem.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
