Kim has posted reviews of her line on her Instagram stories.
However, fans were quick to realize that the reviews came from their own friends and family members.
One even came from her younger sister, Kylie Jenner, who wrote: “My favorite SKKN product is the face cream – the face cream firming moisturizer.
Another of Simon Huck, Kim’s friend and publicist: “I did this two days ago – it got me inflamed but it didn’t hurt my skin but it was strong enough.”

A fansite lit up with comments over the Instagram screenshots, with one writing: “Like it de-PORED you??? That sounds painful.”
“Kylie, Simon Huck, Sara Foster and all their PR contacts 😂 do people outside of this sub see how she thinks we’re stupid or not?” asked one fan.
Another wrote: “Honestly these are disappointing reviews… even those from reputable sources. “It’s moisturizing because it’s like water,” etc. Nothing in this would inspire me to spend hundreds of dollars even if I had it.”
One reviewer wrote: “Omg reliable reviews from family and friends who probably spend thousands on skincare lol that’s what got her convinced. Let me go and give my hard working cash to Kim while she spends thousands on facelifts and botox.”
‘OUT OF TOUCH’
Since its launch, the SKKN brand has already been criticized for its price.
The full collection, including a cleanser, toner, and exfoliator, totals $673.
Other products, like a hyaluronic acid serum and night oil, cost $90 and $95, respectively.
Kim described her new range as “prestige” in an interview with The New York Times, leading to fans dubbing her “out of touch.”
One tweeted: “$670? That’s no better super big. Who the hell could afford that?”
The formula seems to be working for her, as Kim’s featured pack sold out less than 24 hours after it became available online.
“We doubled our sales target in the first 20 to 30 minutes,” she told guests at a celebratory dinner.
Kim was on the Today Show last week to promote her new beauty line.
Close-ups of her face from her TV performance were shared by fans.
While Kim still looked stunning, the reality star was noticeably less airbrushed and non-porous than her social media photos.
Fine lines and minor blemishes were visible under her eyes and around her cheeks.
SUED FOR SKKN
The Sun exclusively revealed back in January that Cydnie Lunsford, the owner of SKKN+, a black-owned spa and beauty center in New York City, is feuding with Kim over the trademark for the name.
Beauty Concepts claims it owns the rights to “SKKN+” and says Kim’s use of the name on her beauty products confuses her customers, TMZ reported.
The company says it’s a Black and women-owned business that survived the pandemic and opened a store – only to learn Kim had launched a brand with a similar name, according to her lawsuit.
Beauty Concepts says they contacted Kim’s team after she submitted papers to get the rights to “SKKN,” telling her they already own the trademark for “SKKN+,” and asking her not to use similar branding.
