When it comes to viral skincare routine videos, this one just might be unrivaled.
“Heated Rivalry” breakout star Hudson Williams recently shared his full (and seemingly unedited) 20-minute regimen with the Cut — racking up over 187,000 Instagram likes and hundreds of positive comments in the process.
“I don’t think I’ve ever watched a video on this app longer than 2 minutes before today and I was sat for 20 just now,” one commenter wrote under the lengthy clip, while another simply stated, “This is what I pay internet for.”
While Williams assured viewers he’s not using all 39 products from the magazine’s corresponding article every time, the on-screen hockey player still isn’t skating by with the bare minimum. Below, shop a few product highlights from the clip one commenter called the “best 20 minutes” of their life — from drugstore finds to K-beauty favorites.
“I’ve never had a skincare product like that — if I use it at night, the next morning my skin is so even and moisturized,” Williams raved of this hydrating serum.
While plenty of celebs swear by Laneige, Williams swears this drugstore alternative “bodies” the viral balm.
“This is like a secret because this works better,” said the self-proclaimed “lip-obsessive” star.
You won’t need an NHL player’s salary to score this under-$7 serum Williams said “makes my skin glow.”
“It takes away my old blemishes …. it does something where it just rejuvenates,” he added in the video.
“I don’t like pores; I don’t want to see ’em, I don’t even want to know that they’re there,” he quipped while lathering up this thick cleansing foam, which he sometimes applies using the Clarisonic Cleansing System.
He’s also a fan of the K-beauty brand’s hydrating ampoule, which he sometimes even uses in place of moisturizer.
“I don’t really like when my skin looks like I’m glowing, like I’ve put on 45 serums,” he told the outlet. “I like things that make your face look as if you just woke up and threw some water on your face, and that’s the look it gives me.”
The 24-year-old actor’s routine is also filled with products he discovered from his aunt, including this cleansing oil.
“I have a giant one that I restock often, because I use it every night,” he said.
While he’s also a fan of the more budget-friendly Beauty by Earth gua sha tool, Williams said he sometimes uses this device designed for de-puffing.
“It tightens my face and makes me look well rested, even if I’m not,” he said.
When battling a breakout, the actor applies these patches or a Murad spot treatment to help with “powering down the pimple.”
While Williams’ arsenal also includes a wide range of fragrances, this warm and spicy scent is one of his go-tos.
“I have a fear that I’ll look like Ryan Gosling’s ‘Blue Valentine’ character when he ages,” said Williams, who uses this red light helmet every other day, in addition to Rogaine and castor oil.
