Miracle or Fraud? Green Mask Stick | 208SkinDoc

- Опубликовано: 22 дек 2021
- When I first saw the Green Mask Stick I couldn't believe that anyone would fall for it. However, their videos kept popping up on TikTok so I assumed their marketing must have been working. As a result, I bought it to show everyone that it does not work and I DID NOT expect what happened next. After releasing my videos, you won't believe what the company did in response.

I thought we had laws holding companies accountable for fraudulent advertising…
Right how do we get our money back
The company is ran in a different country…where our laws obviously don’t apply
Not every country has the same product regulations. It's really up to global online companies like Amazon to have the ethics to be more selective in what they allow to be sold on their platform. But the fact that they're simply a marketplace and take no part in production of the millions of products sold on their platform gives them so much plausible deniability.... they have no motivation to take any responsibility. The fact that they provide a means for consumer reviews and mediate returns is enough to protect them and put the responsibility of bad purchases and any consequences there of solely on the consumer.
@@rachelsarmientotacknot necessarily… you can’t buy guns or drugs of amazon. So they do regulate to some degree.
@sagaciousgaming4237 Fair enough. They don't weed out scams, theft, and faulty products. That requires research and quality control. But they do weed out outright physically harmful products which are illegal or highly regulated in most countries.
I keep seeing this on Pinterest. It’s crazy how unrealistic the advertising is with the chia seeds. Lol
I just got here from pinterest too! it looked so crazy, I had to look for legit reviews
Lol, me too. Doc said the skin looks "perfect" after, and I'm like "it looks FUZZINATED" 😂 but we obviously mean the same thing
Oh those were chia seeds ! One of the videos on their website actually has a model who . . put makeup on in her 'after' reveal, she's tanner and has contour.
Is eelhoe a scam?
OMG same i really had hope
Terrific video. Facebook needs to take down false advertising.
Thank you!
You see the entirety of America is false advertising.🎉
Its the mOneYYY!!!
they're never gonna do that, they prefer to get paid.
@@Hobro666well technically it’s China.
Thank you for calling these guys out and thank you for your straightforward honest approach to helping your viewers with skin care. Evaluating skin care products helps tremendously- saving us time, money, disappointment and for some a bad reaction. As a photoshop user I recognized the (amateur) use of the blur tool right off-but I feel bad for those who had great hope in this product and discovered it didn’t help them at all. Please keep up the good work, we’re watching and learning.
I’m here because I just saw one of their advertisements on FB marketplace. 😂 I figured someone else had already bit the bullet and called them out. Sure enough. Thanks for the video!
ditto!
hahaha you and me both mate!
In this video you ask “how anyone could fall for this?”. The answer is simple. I consider myself a intelligent person but when you’ve had bad skin for your entire life and tried literally every different facial cleanser and acne treatment products and nothing works at that point you are willing to try anything once. Of course in my mind I was sceptical but I’ve spent so much money over the years I figured 20 more dollars is worth the gamble even on the remote chance it works even a little bit. Try being 42 years old and being crippled by fear of going out anywhere in public. I prefer to not been seen by other humans because of my horrible skins appearance so even going to get groceries is difficult. My point is we aren’t stupid enough to fall for these kinds of scams just desperate
Stop with the sob story. I won’t understand paying for this bs product lol. You should have looked at reviews FIRST. I saw these ads for a few weeks maybe even over.a month at this point , and I would always just click skip immediately, but finally I decided to see if it works. So instead of being a baby and crying about having bad skin , I just RUclips if it works or not. And then I saw people saying exactly what I thought to be true, and then I didn’t buy it lol. So just chill dude, no one cares about your bad skin, you’re a 42 year old man. Just find a hobby or something , buy a motorcycle, idk , stop acting like a teenage girl.
@@justincraig398 thanks for your compassion. I can see you assume all kinds of things about me after reading a paragraph. Motorcycles have been the number one passion in my life since 1992 when I got my first of many dirt bikes. Since then over the years I’ve had all kinds of different street bikes mostly cruisers but in recent years I’ve been more into sport bikes. Last year I traded in my 2008 Honda CBR800 for brand new Yamaha R1. It is the true joy of my life. As for hobbies it’s mainly golfing and fishing but I also have a massive gun collection and enjoy target shooting a lot. In winter I’ve always done lots of skiing because of how close I live to the rocky mountains and grew up doing it. I’m also passionate about martial arts since I was a kid watching ninja turtles and Jean-Claude Van Adam me movies. I starting kickboxing at our fitness plus gym in 1997 and in 2006 started Brazilian jujitsu classes. To this day I still go to Shotokan karate classes twice a week. I live on my acreage because I don’t like the city or people but my dog is the coolest companion I could ever have. I ride my horses because I enjoy the peace it gives me. You went out of your way to try and hurt my feelings with your comment and that is why I don’t like people. Others will try and be negative or toxic especially online. Did it make you feel better to try and bully me? If you disagree with someone that’s fine by why run them down and insult them? What does that accomplish for you
@@justincraig398 You’re the one acting like a teenage girl in my opinion
Try rubbing aloe vera plant paste on cleaned skin every night before going to bed and see the results.
Resolution to acne is not just topical… it’s lifestyle as well and diet. If you don’t know that then you’re not desperate… you’re indeed dumb
I almost got sucked into this but luckily I do research before I even consider buying a product or anything that I'm not familiar with so thank you for your video. I found it on Amazon for $10 and was even more tempted but luckily I didn't take the bate! Technology is a blessing and a curse but it's times like these when I love it. Ty!
I got it sadly 😢😅
You’re doing something right because I just googled “green tea mask fake videos” and yours is the first one that comes up for me! Perfect way to troll them at their own game by using it on a banana lol, love it 😂
if the product worked this guy would be out of a job...keep that in mind
It made your hair grow back! That’s got to be worth something! Hair thinning before tea stick and full head of hair in this video. Wow!
I was looking for this comment. How no one notice?? 🤣😂
@@Checo82886 lol . very observant !
I will add my comment here instead of making a separate one, I also was wondering how no one noticed the hair. 🤣
I think those are called roots
yeah cause hairpieces totally don't exist
My mum drunk ordered this for a laugh abd whilst it definitely is not any kind of miracle, it's actually not a bad mask on my sensitive, oily skin. Makes the skin a bit softer, does tend to calm redness and doesn't cause breakouts.
Needed a reliable source to confirm my suspicion about the product. Thank you for the time you took to do the work for me and your service as a doc.
Always fun to see a professional expert call out bullshit in their field. Cheers to you, sir!
I knew something was off. I kept getting the adds and allways looked like its way too good to be true, yet i started to consider buying it. I went on a little research beforehand thankfully. Thanks to you (and the others who made a real review of this) for saving me that 20 bucks
OMG!!!! Good thing I researched this here on youtube!!!! I almost wasted money on this!!!! I saw the ad on Facebook!!!
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!
Your volley back to these scam artists is very creative, I love it😂 You could do another video where you apply to a dent on a car, and when you wipe it away, the dent is gone! ✨
Martha, you are a comedian 😀
@@bsetbeauty Thank you! I try....
🤣🤣🤣
I’ve started reporting these ads and I had no idea they were stealing videos from other youtubers doing actual reviews and making it seem like they endorse the product. It’s super cringeworthy. And the fact that RUclips is allowing this is bullshit.
I saw them on Pinterest with your video I believe as well. I dont like to stray away from the line i use without really looking into what ingredients im mixing it with etc. so i looked for reviews on youtube thank goodness I found this video
I wish there were more professionals like you calling out all these fraud products!! Thank you
Just saw one of these advertised on Facebook. The videos utilising timeskips with unbelievable results was a huge red flag. I've seen my fair share of scam marketing, and with a product that is meant to work like this you would expect real-time timelapses of the blackheads reaching the surface of the skin. You know, like how it's being advertised to work. But that's evidently not possible, so it instead cuts out the parts that seem to be most important - the product actually working - and instead just "timeskipping" to the supposed end result.
I looked at the comments hoping to find people calling out the product as a scam, which is something I always look out for with sus products. But I didn't find any of that. I found a couple of before-and-after images of teenagers with acne that indicated extended use of the product, but I found questionable due to lack of evidence. And the one image showing active use of the product on their face looked underwhelming compared to the videos and the image itself was of poor quality.
I think that's what's catching a lot of people off and why people fall for it: heavily moderated comments that exclusively paint a positive picture of the product. If the everyday folk seem to sing its praises with no negative feedback, that makes it look more legitimate to suckers.
Thats the only thing that made me research this product. Without these supposedly fake comments under the video, i wouldnt even have considered it to be real. The comments made research the product in the hope that it was real, even though it looked way too good to be true.
A Facebook Ad led me here lol
Same here! The comments fooled me.
I agree with every word you said about this product and the false advertising created by this company. It is overpriced, worthless, and does absolutely nothing to help improve your skin. I found this so-called facial product does wonders on my car tires by making them shinier. BTW......loved how you used your son in the video, so funny!
Thank you for your HONEST review!
& so sorry they did that to you!! 😂 Although, I do absolutely love your sense of humor in it all.
Thank you Dr. we’ll explain and honest 👏🏼
I don't know about that stick my girlfriend just told me it was a scam ( i was read to order it btw ) .... But something i would like to share when you buy fresh bananas keep then inside a rice packet like cover them with rice and keep them they'll stay fresh for longer period of time....
How are they allowed to continue advertising to this day?
The son and the banana had me crying 😭 lol…great video calling them out! Very good 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Thank you for sharing this video and great advice at the end on not to buy every skin care item
Thanks for clearing that up for me. Plus the cameo with your son was super cute 😄
Thank you for this review!! I was considering it and was skeptical. This answered my skepticism
Thanks doc! I woke up wanting to buy this product then 10 mins later you happened. Huge helpppp
Washing your face before you go to bed, and after you wake up with a washcloth that has been dipped in very salty water will help clear up the cystic, acne and whiteheads. I have not tried it on blackheads. I only tried it at all because I always noticed my skin cleared up after a trip to the beach, the salt doesn’t dry my skin out because when I’m finished, I just rinse my face with plain water, but the salt does kill any bacteria in my pores. It will look worse for a couple of days as all of the impurities come to ahead, but after that, you will notice a big improvement I just use the washcloth and a gentle, scrubbing motion in circles clockwise and counterclockwise over my whole face. Let me know if you try this, and if it works for you.
I so appreciate you you are an amazing person thank you for exposing these people I was very close to making a dreadful mistake keep the amazing content coming have an awesome blossom Day ❤️🙏❤️
I have been seeing these advertisements everywhere! It always looked totally fake to me! But I had assumed they were applying some kind of foundation (or some kind of makeup) to "cover up" the blemished skin. Interesting to see what it is they were really doing. But regardless, definitely fake! Sad to see that they are still able to advertise this fake product with blatant and obvious false marketing!
I laughed so hard when you put chia seeds on your face! 🤣🤣🤣
thats what they are doing thats y he did it
Try to keep up hun
I keep seeing it on IG. I am happy you did this video. Thank you.
My mom had given me one, I think it came in an Ipsy box or something, but it was in a pack of two. A green one and a purple one but it was like a different company, but the same product. I tried it bc I had been seeing it everywhere, and wanted to test it out. And it did not work how advertised. But my skin did feel smooth after 🤷🏻♀️
Thank you Sir, you opened my eyes
They should be sued for false advertising.
Thank you so much! I almost bought it today, decided to check up reviews. You just saved my 20€, therefore you got my like and subscribtion. 🤝
I bought it during that first wave, thinking that it probably WOULD NOT work the way it was advertised, but it came with the purple eggplant one free, and was a reasonable price, and I figured it would make a travel-convenient mud mask. It definitely feels nice and buttery, I'll give it that, but year - only Jesus can clear your skin that well that fast.
Thanks for the time to make this video. Your work was important to validate my thoughts about the product. Furthermore, it is unfortunate to see so many businesses profiting from people's hope with no consequences. I hope your video can prevent many from this scam, but more importantly, to estimulate critical thinking as a new mind set.
Thank you for this video, got the ad for it, of course doing research and found this.
This is great work and you have an outrageous amount of respect for your courage.
Thank you so much for this lol. I keep seeing this advertised and it bothers me bcuz it's obviously fake! So I came to RUclips and found your video. Great review!
I was just going to order this after seeing their adds . Then by chance I got your video . Omg
wow thanks bro for your great help and advice. I was going to purchase one of these . . Thanks a lot .
Soooo easy to see that it was a false advertisement. I mean maybe it's a common sense or a trust thing, but no one should be falling for that. It was like they just photoshopped and blurred the skin and its showed!
Thank you for spending your time for us.
I paid 2.84 on eBay for this product it took awhile getting it, it’s in front of me now, arrived 2 days ago so I came on here see how it helps others first,not used it yet and after seeing these vids am not gna use it, going in the bin, thank fec it was cheap coz I actually was gna pay 12 for it on their own site but looked it up on ebay instead! Lucky f me I only bought it for my nose feel sorry ppl who suffer with spots when this lets them dwn! But fear not because true beauty comes from within, and it’s free till death do we part!
Edited on 9 aug, I couldn’t resist being let dwn, I used it didn’t I. Just had to it was like seeing a dnt touch sign for paint trying. Well it burnt like hell f two days it literally felt like sunburn! I was happily not surprised to be let dwn.
NEVER AGAIN!
thank you- just saw this on Pinterest and glad I looked up reviews bc I was about to buy it SO fast
Thank you so much for this video! ❤
Skin doctor who’s actually tried said product is the best review I can ask for
Thank you for this video!!! ❤️❤️❤️
First time I saw a Green Mask Stick video my first thought was, "Looks like chia seeds". Thanks for confirming that.
So Hilarious 😂😂😂😂.
Thank you for the video. I was about to buy it.
Awesome video.
😂 thank you so much for doing this!
The banana 🍌 cracked me up! Nice one! 😂
HA HA HA! OMG! YOU ROCK DR. PORTELA! I LOVE your sense of humor, and the way you showed them how RIDICULOUS this product and these video's are! 😂 Thanks for making me laugh!
Your video was very very helpful! Thanks for sharing and for helping everyone save money!!!
You just stopped me from buying it. THANK YOU.
Thank you for being honest.
They are still advertising it here on You Tube. I came to this channel to get the real truth. Thank you!😊
Great call out DOC. Poor kids looking for a miracle and the horrible ppl taking advantage of our kid’s insecurities
Thank you for letting us know about this scam!
Thank you for the honest review
Thanks for this video! I just came across the ad in facebook and it looks obviously fake but there were so many good bot reviews in the comment section 😅😅 I felt bad to people that impulsively bought it
Thank you for this video. I’m starting to realize now that I probably got ripped off because I purchased the item myself. But I just bought another skin care product. I may want you to do a video on that.
These people are the lowest of the low, as no one would believe their scam and their ridiculous videos unless that person was so desperate and unhappy with their skin that they would try anything. In other words, they are exploiting and preying on really vulnerable people. Despicable.
To be frank, I have gotten so frustrated with ALL advertising including American. They will put tiny print at the bottom of the screen & speed talk through it (TV commercials). Legally they can get away with it. It's called disclosure. We need new legislation on Advertising on all media. Something to think about, it all started with potato chips. When's the last time you opened a full bag of potato chips? Did it say "Package may appear less than weight shown due to settling during shipping".
I just looked at a bag. They don't even have that on there anymore.
As consumers here in America, there's got to be something we can do about the products we purchase here. We have no legal action with other countries.
Nothing ever will work close to how they betray it to work , but my dad did buy me this. I just liked the fact of it being a stick. I never expected to see much results, though. I will say my box direction and ingredients were in English. My dad bought me a pack in a box and gave me one with the box.
This doctor is so petty!
I love it ❤❤❤ 😂😂
I've always considered three factors that work in tandem to produce your quality of skin: diet, facial care, and genetics. You have to be solid in at least two of those to have clear skin. The goop only covers one and not even necessarily well.
thanks a friend gave me one i just come on line to see what it good for end up watch your videos! thanks for ur information 🥰🥰🥰
Okay wish I would have seen this video before I bought this. I tried it last night on my face. Think I need to do a deep dive in the active ingredients because they are words of chemicals I am not familiar with. Thanks for the video.
I knew this was questionable. Dr.Dray never recommended this product and she has helped my skin so much!
thank you for reveled this product, good job
Thank you! I almost bought this, I'm very glad you made your video, HONESTLY your video on the banana almost looked better then their video's!!!
Hey sir a REAL question, do you have any suggestions for Products that REALLY do work well for black heads like that are already formed?
I don't mean regular everyday skin treatments, more something along the lines of this:
A girl I knew got this mask stuff that LOOKED similar to this product, only it was dark, it hardened over 5-10 minutes. When peeling it off you'd actually see many little white... "stringy" looking blobs I'd describe them more then "dot"s.. Still the point -> this product was legitimately pulling SOMETHING from the skin, whether or not this was 'healthy' for the skin I can not say, but I guess I'm asking, have you seen products that in a way CAN do what this one CLAIMS to do, even if not quite so elegantly?
Another thing she had was a (gonna use a technical name that I imagine you understand) "Bowl Loop Comedone Extractor" for I guess a better method to "pop" zits and black heads then like fingers... Unfortunately this tool never works for my skin, but it did get me thinking... wouldn't the same idea work if a tool had a similar little hole but also applied some type of suction, especially if prehaps you used a mask(or showered) first to kind of in a sense break the surface/ open the pore heads a bit before using said product? I really liked the idea of treating ache without the need of any Kind of cream/chemical/solution/etc? I imagine one would need to both have a cleanly washed face before and after use or it would pose a greater risk of causing additional buildup and irritation in pores immediately after having all their buildup removed since they'd kind of be like open micro cavities for a short time right?... But still, why not the suction concept? I've seen only once in my life a produduct that "sort of" suggested doing this but seemed to hold no popularity and never have I heard anyone I have known to promote anything of this nature?
That banana transformation was incredible!!!
Lol, I laughed so much, Thanks!
(I’m wearing the brand’s green tea mask as I watch this and commented)
I saw those on TikTok. I couldn’t believe people couldn’t see the shopping of the skin. I even commented that. Such BS. Ha! I liked the chia seeds
Thank you so much for this review.
It's not just you. I saw another video of this woman who completely called this product trash but recently I saw a snap of her video used in their advertisement too on Instagram.
You could clearly see a filter being used on the after.
Thanks for this clarification. 🙂💕
Was very skeptical of all the “blackheads” thank you
As soon as I saw these stupid ads, I wondered what kind of coffee grinds they used to put on these peoples faces 🤣
I've been seeing this advertised on tumblr. It always looked too good to be true so I ignored it but I eventually got curious. Lead to checking it out here and I'm so glad I did. No wasting money on that nonsense
I got sucked in and bought to try, it didn’t work and didn't pull anything out of my face but did leave my skin very smooth.
OMG! They are showing these advertisements on RUclips now!!! I googled it for reviews because I am a digital artist and I know they were doctoring the video images lol. That is how I found your video!!! Why is RUclips allowing it too? They are letting them steal money from innocent people. It's terrible.
I can’t believe anyone fell for that product!! When I saw it in an ad the first time, I laughed so hard cuz I didn’t think that anyone would fall for it!!! It’s sooooo obviously fake!! Glad you did this video! 😁
That was pretty much my reaction also when I saw that ad the first time😆
When I saw it i was very, very skeptical, the skin looked uncannily smooth after it was wiped with the cream, and sometimes it's obvious that it's photoshop
Makes you wonder wouldn't it be misinformation
I had to come see if it was true. Of course it wasn’t
I know people who did fall for it. But they are not very smart to begin with so that doesnt astonish me...
Acne sufferers: hear me! lol
Acne is healed from the inside out. My skin cleared up when I stopped eating most all processed food. I ate meat, eggs, fruit, dairy (which I only recommend if people tolerate it and raw dairy is the best) and I ate some veggies but mainly focused on animal based foods.
My skin was very good to the point I stopped having anything to pop which I love being able to do even if I hate acne. 😂
I had tried a vegan diet for a year and a half and my acne was terrible so I would say whole animal foods help the most.
I’m back to eating processed foods and the acne has come back. At least not as bad as it could be but I still have painful flair ups.
I’ve taken medication and it does help but it comes back once I’m off it for awhile.
Just thought I’d share.
Weight loss 5th is the best for the meeting when you have a chance to speak to someone about the visits 😊 I have to keep my 5
It looked scammy back when I first saw the ads a year or so ago, but just a few minutes ago I saw an ad while watching a car repair video and I got curious, so they are still out there...would have been hilarious if the ad would have popped up during your video...
I was thinking about buying the product to see if it works, but then I came across your video. Thanks for the information and exposing this scam.
Washing your face before you go to bed, and after you wake up with a washcloth that has been dipped in very salty water will help clear up the cystic, acne and whiteheads. I have not tried it on blackheads.

Let me know if you try this, and if it works for you.
I can say is thank you so much you’re awesome!😂 👏
Thankyou for this video!
Thank you for this video!!!
I bought this and you're so right it was definitely a scam. Can u do a video on Maelys products it targets all different areas of the body for firmness, sagginess etc. Mixed reviews!
I’ve never wished for any product to work like that for real
Wow I like how u seem so honest and even how ur like I even have my own line but I dnt want u to buy it if u don't need it or can't afford it ..if u do I would be very happy but if u can't that's ok...that's awesome I have a lot of respect for u
Good job broo ,thank you for this video
Thanks for this video, I almost buy it but I try to search you tube before I pay . Thanks Doctor.
I almost bought this 😅… but if it’s to good to be true … it is … so I came to look for reviews !!! Thank you 🙏
I purchased this months ago and just never used it today I thought I'd give it a try but I never thought it would work immediately. I assume over time like any other cleansing mask it would clear your skin from oil. But I do not plan to repurchase 4 sure.
