No matter who you are or where you’re from, you need a good skincare routine. Some people only live with a cleanser and a pat on the back before braving the morning sun. Some have a 10-step skincare routine that starts with face mists and ends with two types of sunscreen. But whether you have acne or good skin, we’ve all looked up “skincare 101” online and there’s a fat chance you came across Hyram Yarbro, the skincare guru. Who is this guy, you ask? He’s here to enlighten you on all things skincare and he just launched his own skincare collection — Selfless by Hyram.
Who is Hyram?

If you’ve been anywhere near TikTok, you know that Hyram Yarbro is the app’s favorite ‘skinfluencer.’ The Hawaii native is always reviewing skincare products left and right and doubling down on the importance of sunscreen. He’s also on YouTube doing lengthy skincare discussions and telling you which famous brands are a no-no (we’re looking at you, Drunk Elephant). Thousands of people on the app hound him with questions on their skincare routine, which product works best with a specific skin, and more.
Finally, after a long wait, Hyram has dropped his own skincare line and you can trust he doesn’t need to review this one. It already has the ingredients he’s been raving about all this time — salicylic acid, niacinamide, squalene, and retinol.
Selfless by Hyram, your new favorite skincare line

Hyram’s debut collection has five products: the Green Tea Daily Gel Cleanser, Salicylic Acid and Sea Kelp Pore Clearing and Oil Control Serum, Mandelic Acid and Rice Bran Gentle Exfoliating Serum, Maracuja Daily Barrier Support Moisturizer, and the Rainbow Algae Night Repair Serum. That’s one gel cleanser, three serums targeted for different skin conditions, and one moisturizer. The blue-green packaging has a sun and moon design so you know which products can be used in the morning and which should only be used at night.
Collab with The Inkey List

The collection is made in collaboration with The Inkey List, a famous budget skincare brand. Even pre-collab, Hyram has always spouted high praise for the brand for its affordability and the ingredients list on its products. Hyram says he was satisfied with the collab since he shares “the same philosophy on skincare” with the brand and its founders. There was no other company he would trust with his Selfless line, which, by the way, he was already working on for eight months before the collab.
Sustainable and impactful skincare

The Inkey List and Hyram don’t only share the same philosophy for skincare, they also share the same “intense desire” to “leave an impact on the world.” Selfless by Hyram has eco-friendly product packaging made from sugarcane. Each purchase also lets you help with environmental efforts since they’ve partnered with non-profit organizations like Rainforest Trust and Thirst Project to protect forests from deforestation and provide clean water to over 60 communities.
How much will it cost you?

And now for the moment of truth, how much is it? Selfless by Hyram products range from P1,200 to P1,755:
- Green Tea Daily Gel Cleanser – P1,200
- Salicylic Acid And Sea Kelp Pore Clearing and Oil Control Serum – P1,415
- Mandelic Acid and Rice Bran Gentle Exfoliating Serum – P1,415
- Maracuja Daily Barrier Support Moisturizer – P1,525
- Rainbow Algae Night Repair Serum – P1,755
NGL, it’s a bit pricey for the Philippine market. We’ve got local skincare lines like Fresh Formula and The Skin Foundry that can get you two to three products for P1,000. And if those brands didn’t jive with your skin, you can always opt for the famous Korean skincare brands like CosRx and even Canada-based The Ordinary. But Selfless by Hyram is still worth a try. Who knows, it might be the holy grail you’re looking for.
Absolute must-have?

If there’s one product you should try out, it’s got to be the Rainbow Algae Night Repair Serum. In an interview with Style Caster, Hyram says it’s his favorite product from his collection. It’s an all-around product too — squalene to smoothen skin, retinol, and algae to reduce hyperpigmentation and minimize signs of aging. Sounds like a good deal, right?
Where can you order?

Thankfully, you don’t need to order overseas or wait for your Christmas balikbayan box to get your hands on the product. Selfless by Hyram is available online at Sephora PH. Maybe you’ll get yourself some makeup too while on the way to check your cart out.
