Addison Rae Launches Blue Light Protection Mist, Suspiciously Similar To Valkyrae's Cancelled RFLCT
Valkyrae was met with a lot of criticism after revealing a new gamer skin product that would protect its users from artificial blue light, citing dubious science that doesn't hold up under scrutiny, marketed to young people despite being equivalent to anti-ageing cream.
