Video taking off 22x its usual first day

Acne or clear skin? Grace May asks 'Which life are you?'

After shorts on overnight curls and a pricey manicure, she turned to her skin, and viewers answered with their own breakouts and bad mirror light.

Why this story? The video opened at a pace of 343,337 views a day, 22 times a normal first day on this channel (15,876).

Grace May's newest hit has no curls and no manicure in it. "Which life are you? 🥹" is a short skit about skin, tagged acne, relatable and clearskin, and it sets two versions of the same day side by side. A little over a day after it went up, it had passed 360,000 views. Her shorts usually open with around sixteen thousand.

The channel's about line calls her "just a girl going through hormonal crisis," and this short puts that line on screen. The comments are less about the video than about the people watching it. Many viewers simply say it is them. One singles out the moment of checking a mirror in dim light as the most recognizable part. Another jokes that the two lives are really just two weeks of the same month. A viewer writing from Uzbekistan describes four years of breakouts and asks Grace how she deals with hers.

It arrives in a busy stretch for the channel. Her heatless curls short has gone past three million views, and the nail video asking whether a set was "worth the price" has crossed a million. The skin skit takes a different route to the same place, a small, familiar frustration that viewers immediately recognize as their own. The next upload is already in the same vein: a skit about backhanded compliments.
