Kim has consistently maintained that the account is safe for the 9-year-old. The comments on each video are always turned off and the bio clearly states that an adult manages it.

And it’s safe to say that North’s videos are typically no different than what you’d expect from any child of her age. In fact, North has long been labeled the “funniest person on TikTok” by fans.

Some people were left “disturbed” by the video as they questioned why a child as young as 9 had a full skincare routine.

“Not to be dramatic but I have never been as disturbed as I am watching North West do her skincare routine,” read one popular tweet, which has since been deleted.
“North West has the most chaotic skincare routine I think I’ve ever seen,” another user wrote, with several more going to question North’s use of the products.
