Ashley Dupré is sharing her unfiltered take on Alix Earle's skincare line, Reale Actives.
Less than a week after the influencer launched the aforementioned beauty brand, her stepmom gave a unique review of the product on TikTok in a style very similar to the content that skyrocketed Earle to fame.
Dupré, who married the skincare founder's dad Thomas "TJ" Earle in 2013, made an "Un-Get Ready With Me" video to "talk s---" about Reale Actives. The video was released shortly after Earle addressed critics who questioned the line after its drop.

"This cleansing balm is horrible. It takes my makeup off way too quick and it's not thick enough," Dupré, who is getting ready for bed, begins in the video as she applies Earle's makeup melting cleansing balm to her face.
Next, she grabs the Pore Power Exfoliating LHA + BHA Gel Cleanser and rubs it into her cheeks and forehead.
"I don't like how it feels like it's literally cleaning my skin," she says.

"It just feels too good on my skin so deeply and is getting all of the garbage and the dirt and the shmuck from the New York City streets... I don't like how it's just washing it away so quickly," she says.
As Dupré begins to clean her face with a wipe, she questions Earle's motives in dropping the skincare line in the first place.
"Why would an influencer make another brand for themselves? I mean, that is so stupid," she says, adding, "This cleanser is no good. It took off my makeup, and my face feels so clean within 20 seconds."

Then, Dupré reaches for the Go Deep 8% Mandelic Acid Serum Concentrate in the four-product line.
"I don't understand. They're pushing this Mandelic acid so hard, like what could that possibly mean?" she quips, explaining, "And my skin is literally tight and smooth like a diamond. I got a diamond glow right now."

Lastly, Dupré takes the Dew More Barrier-Boosting Moisturizer made with shea butter.
"[It] leaves my skin feeling too smooth and too perfect. It feels so healthy, so it's horrible," she says. "Why would Alix ever make a skincare line. What is she thinking? It's horrible. I hate how this moisturizer does not clog my pores."

"So whoever is not buying Reale Actives, please don't buy it so you can leave room for all the girlies who deserve it, who need it. It's amazing. It's the best thing in the whole-wide world!" she says to wrap, ending with a tiny cameo of Earle herself laughing in the background on the screen.
Earle left a simple note in the comment section to share how she feels about the TikTok.
"Hahhaahahha," she wrote.
The hilarious video shared by Dupré was made in the wake of several users online who questioned Earle having a skincare brand, after she previously revealed she had taken acne medications, Accutane and spironolactone.
In a TikTok video response, the content creator detailed her decision, taking viewers through an abbreviated breakdown of her journey with acne.
"I can't be launching a skincare company because I've done Accutane three times, so I'm just a big fat liar," Earle said, echoing complaints she's heard online.
Earle then began to walk her 8.3 million TikTok followers through her skincare journey after using Accutane and spironolactone, and finally using her own skincare line. As she spoke, she shared photos of herself, beginning in August 2022, after having gone through two rounds of Accutane.
Earle's main message? While there were certain things that people might need to do to take care of their skin outside of using her Reale Actives line, it wouldn't negate the impact that her line would have on their skin.
"If you believe me, you believe me. If you don't, whatever," she concluded the video.
