Product placement
Tretinoin: a prescription-strength retinoid cream. It acts as the subject of the video, as the creator demonstrates its application around her eyes and advocates for its use as an eye cream. Removing it would change the entire premise of the video. Dr. Serena: the creator's professional identity and brand. It appears as a watermark and in the handle, but does not act. Removing it would not change the video content.
