YouTube doctor breaks down why Valkyrae\u2019s new skincare line is \u201cso misleading\u201d YouTube: Dr. Dray \/ RFLCTA dermatologist with a massive following on YouTube was asked to speak about Valkyrae\u2019s controversial new RFLCT skincare line, and she explained why it\u2019s \u201cso misleading\u201d for the star\u2019s fan Rachell \u2018Valkyrae\u2019 Hofstetter\u2019s RFLCT skincare line has become a huge talking point ever since it was first revealed on October 19. The masses called her out for taking part in what they considered to be a \u201cscam.\u201d In their view, the company\u2019s claims about the product\u2019s benefits aren\u2019t supported by sufficient scientific evidence. In fact, there have been peer-reviewed studies that suggest any amount of blue light from computer or television screens has a negligible effect on the skin. Dr. Dray, a dermatologist with more than 1.3 million subscribers on her YouTube channel, was asked by fans to share her thoughts on the issue. She revealed the main reason why she thinks the product is \u201cmisleading.\u201d Dr. Dray pointed out that one thing she found \u201cmisleading\u201d was the company\u2019s claims that BLPF, which stands for blue light protection factor, is like SPF (sun protection factor) in sunscreens but for blue light. \u201cThat\u2019s a little misleading because this BLPF that is their trademark kind of ingredient is probably a batch of antioxidants or something like that,\u201d she said. \u201cWe don\u2019t know exactly what it is, but I think that\u2019s a little bit misleading.\u201d Dray explains that SPF is more than a simple batch of ingredients. It\u2019s a standardized measurement that tells you how well a product will protect you from a burn, and it is tested. She claimed there is \u201cno such thing\u201d for blue light. \u201cWhen you\u2019re making claims like this, I do think you need to be careful. I think it can mislead consumers into thinking that the product has been tested in the way that sunscreen would be tested to show protection.\u201d Despite her criticism of the products, Dray insisted she was sure it wasn\u2019t Valkyrae\u2019s intent to mislead her fans. In fact, she acknowledged that some of the ingredients used in the product could help mitigate blue light damage to the skin, but only from the sun \u2013 if at all.
