Kylie Jenner‘s soon-to-be-released skincare line KylieSkin has not even launched, but it’s already gathering criticism from Twitter users and professionals alike.

The beauty guru’s line is set to launch on 22 May, but already one item is concerning fans online — a face scrub that contains walnut.

Kylie promoted the scrub on Twitter and Instagram, where she hailed it as her “secret to a fresh face,” adding it could be used every day.

In a video she touted the scrub, and went on to acknowledge that other walnut face scrubs are “kinda harsh” but reassured fans that hers wouldn’t be too abrasive.

The response to this was pretty astonishing:

Imagine trying to market walnut scrub as gentle, first off.

2nd, lol 2-3 times a week?! 🥴 https://t.co/fTwSg6pMS6

Walnut is so bad for your skin long term and that is well known. This does not give me hope for the rest of the products because it means they didn’t do the bare minimum research.

Licensed Esthetician here, You should not be exfoliating everyday!!!!! 1x a week MAX!! And Walnut will cause micro tears in your skin, using it everyday will result in couperose skin (broken capillaries) pic.twitter.com/tV8iiitG3X

While the skincare line is just launching, she’s set to expand her empire with baby and hair care lines.

21-year-old Jenner has filed trademarks for baby and hair care lines separately, WWD reports.
