Pokimane has responded to the wave of backlash aimed at Valkyrae’s new RFLCT skincare line which claimed to decrease the harmful effects of blue-light on human skin.  .

On October 19, Rachell ‘Valkyrae’ Hofstetter announced the launch of her new skincare line RFLCT, with the goal of protecting gamers everywhere from the blue-light being emitted from their monitors.

As Valkyrae’s former housemate, Pokimane said she feels like she’s in a tough spot to speak on the subject.

“This highlights how people like us — streamers with large audiences, especially if they’re young and impressionable — we really have to be held accountable and do our due diligence before promoting anything,” Pokimane said.
