Millie Bobby Brown is trying to save face after a video she recorded for her skincare line garnered a rash of harsh criticism.
The "Stranger Things" star recently posted a video for her new cosmetics line, Florence By Mills, and shared her alleged nighttime skincare routine with fans.
However, it was obvious to fans that the 15-year-old was not actually applying anything to her face during the "demonstration," and in fact didn't even smudge her perfectly applied makeup.
"“I can’t believe she’s literally just dry rubbing her hands together and rubbing her face. Like … is this a prank?” one fan pointed out in response to the video.
The backlash got so big, that comments on the YouTube video were disabled.

After a few days of silence, Brown took to Instagram to explain herself and ask for forgiveness from her critics.
"“I’m still learning the best way to share my routines as I get to know this space better — I’m not an expert,” the star began. “I thought doing a quick video replicating my personal process for that night was okay, but that’s not what was conveyed. I understand, I appreciate all of your feedback on this journey, please keep sharing your thoughts and I will too!"
The young star launched her Florence By Mills line back in August.
According to a press release from the company, the goal of the company is to, "redefine beauty with a Gen Z-focused line founded on the belief that true beauty comes from loving and embracing yourself."
