Product placement
tretinoin (a prescription retinoid), tazarotene (a prescription retinoid), azelaic acid (a topical medication), hydroquinone (a skin-lightening agent), vitamin C (a skincare ingredient). These are all mentioned as specific solutions for skin conditions. They appear as text labels on screen and are spoken of as the 'right' products to use. They act as the subject of the advice. Removing these names would change the video from a specific skincare recommendation to a generic statement.
