Excerpt: “I was scrolling through YouTube and saw another one of those fake AI ads. You can literally see the paint being wiped off pretending to be dead skin. I’m tired of all these lies—they’re fooling consumers every day.”

I was just scrolling through YouTube and I gotta say, the use of AI and all the lies they tell, this ad can’t be real. Like, watch the video in this post that I attached through YouTube. I wanted you guys to see exactly how people exaggerate about things being legit, and we all know they aren’t legit. Clearly you can tell that this person had basically put some black stuff on them and then they used the stuff to wipe it off to make it look like it was dead skin coming off, but we all know that is not dead skin, that’s paint, that’s some type of gunk, but that’s definitely not dead skin.
I’m so tired of YouTube and the AI and all these fake advertisements, this is what really makes me so upset, because consumers are being lied to. They keep showing these overly produced “miracle” results that are just impossible. Like, who really believes a random cream or gel can peel off layers of “dirt and dead skin” like that? It’s all special effects and editing tricks, and they use AI voices or faces now that look super realistic but are completely fake.
This type of stuff needs to be called out more, because people are actually spending money thinking these products will do what the ad says. It’s beyond misleading—it’s manipulative. I honestly don’t know how YouTube allows half of these ads to run, especially when it’s so obvious they’re staged.
What do you guys think? Is this real or fake? Because to me, it’s just another scam dressed up with AI magic to make it look believable.
I think it’s fake too. You can clearly see the cut in the video where the lighting changes, and the dead skin just wipes away too cleanly. No real exfoliator works like that. It’s sad because people are wasting money on stuff that doesn’t even exist in the same way it’s shown. You’re right consumers are being lied to, and YouTube lets it slide because they get paid for the ad.

Confirmed! Our forum members have tested similar “peeling” creams and got the same fake residue effect. Thanks, Mark — this post is now labeled FAKE in our database for awareness.

You’re not wrong. Half of these so-called miracle skincare or cleaning products use AI-generated videos now. The actors don’t even exist, and the results are all edited. I’ve even seen fake testimonials written by bots. It’s wild that people are still falling for it, but I guess those ads look real enough to fool you for a second. Totally fake to me.

I completely agree with you, Danielle. I’ve seen that same ad! The “black gunk” trick is an old marketing scam. They make it look like skin or dirt is peeling off, but it’s actually the product reacting to itself when you rub it in. I’ve seen so many fake exfoliating creams like that. YouTube really needs to start verifying these companies before they let them advertise.
