Shoutout to the guy who warned me about that viral skincare brand

My buddy Mark from the station told me 8 months ago that Drunk Elephant was overhyped and would crash. I laughed it off because everyone was raving about their serums. Now they're getting dragged for that whole SPF recall and layoff news. Has anyone else dodged a brand hype train just by listening to one person?

Hold up a sec, that brand is Tatcha not Drunk Elephant. Drunk Elephant got in trouble for their sunscreen recall but Tatcha had the whole overhyped drama first. I almost fell for the Tatcha hype because of YouTube but a dermatologist friend told me the ingredients were pretty basic for the price. She showed me a dupe that cost like a quarter of the price and it works exactly the same. Now I see people on Reddit saying the same thing about Tatcha being overpriced rice water. Kinda funny how these brands go in cycles like that.

It's wild how hype cycles just keep repeating with different brands.
