@@CarmenxSullivan for me western skincare has never been accessible fortunately. I dont live in the US so it's harder for me to get skincare from there. Korean skincare is very easily accessible here though.
As soon as I started using k-beauty my acne started going away since the ingredients are so gentle and (most of the time) fragrance free. In my opinion k-beauty is the way to go for acne
Triple agree. I can also add that my hyper pigmentation has decreased too. Also,I found a TON of products with acne fighting properties. Not hard to find
agree! I know not vegan...but the propolis and honey products are saving my skin and i am at nearly twenty years of life with acne :"D yes...on my way to my thirties and as soon as puberty hit me, it hit me hard with acne
can we just appreciate how much time and effort Cassandra puts into her videos (multiple per week). my school research projects last for a few minutes and take me like 5 weeks and she's out here pumping out these 25 min+ informative videos all the time! Thank You!!
Go vegan for perfect health and looks. Actually proven by science and real life facts. Dont ever use non vegan products that are tested on animals- you will get fungal acne.
I’m making breakfast for my kids while watching/listening to your incredible video and my 4 year old daughter goes “hey it’s the beautiful science woman you like” yes dear, that is exactly who this is💜
This woman is everything. I've been so confused on how to incorporate an essence into my routine. I'm understanding more and more. Stylevana is so affordable! Thank you Cassandra my fellow Amazon lol
My mild, vegan and cruelty free Korean skincare routine for my skin that's sensitive and prone to both eczema and acne: (I've been into Korean skincare for 6 years and have been vegan for 4 years 🐰💚) My evening cleansing routine starts with massaging the iUNIK Calendula Complete Cleansing Oil onto dry skin to remove makeup, sunscreen and any dirt or excess oils. I emulsify it with some water and rinse. On the wet skin, I continue cleansing with a water based cleanser, either the iUNIK Centella Bubble Cleansing Foam (on days with acne 🦠) or the Heimish All Clean Green Foam or the Rovectin Skin Essentials Conditioning Cleanser (on days with dryness/sensitivity/eczema 🔥) and make sure every trace of cleanser is rinsed off with water. Once a week I follow up with a mild exfoliation using the Benton PHA Peeling Gel. 😊 Sometimes I go to bed with an acne patch (cruelty free brands that do pimple patches are COSRX, By Wishtrend and Purito) or the Benton Goodbye Redness Centella Spot Cream. A couple of times per month my eczema prone skin needs some desperate soothing from the Isntree Real Rose Calming Mask or a gentle vegan sheet mask at this step after cleansing (and I'd like to try a mask based on mugwort, centella or green tea when I run out of the rose mask). Then I pat in some toner with my hands (no cotton pads needed!) onto my damp skin (Benton Deep Green Tea Toner, Klairs Fundamental Ampule Mist, Isntree Hyaluronic Acid Toner Plus and Keep Cool and Soothe Bamboo Toner are my favourites) and a serum if my skin feels like it needs it. For clarifying I like the Isntree Spot Saver Mugwort Ampoule, the Rovectin Clean LHA Blemish Ampule, the TIA'M Vita B3 Source and the iUNIK Tea Tree Relief Serum. 🌿 For hydrating either the Benton Deep Green Tea Serum, the Purito Centella Unscented Serum, the Purito Pure Hyaluronic Acid 90 Serum or the iUNIK Beta-Glucan Power Moisture Serum. 💦 And I end the night time routine with some Benton Fermentation Eye Cream (I've repurchased this at least 5 times because it saved my eyelids from eczema flareups - I feel like I really enjoy eye cream because I can get both millia and eczema around my eyes - but I only ever buy eye cream when it's on sale though! 😏) and a moisturiser (Bonajour Green Tea Water Bomb, Barr Centella Calming Barrier Cream, COSRX B5 D-Panthenol Cream, Olivarrier Emollient Extra Comfort Cream, COSRX Ultimate Nourishing Rice Overnight Spa Mask or Purito Dermide Cica Barrier Sleeping Pack). 🥰 On days when my skin needs something extra to seal in all of the hydration, I mix a couple of drops of squalane oil, macadamia oil or rosehip seed oil into the moisturiser (tamanu oil is supposed to be great for my skin type as well, but I haven't tried it yet). Lastly, I apply the Aromatica Lip Nectar, the Aromatica Comforting Calendula Decoction Balm or the Hurraw Moon Lip Balm (the only non-Korean thing that touches my skin apparently lol ❤️🇰🇷) And in the day time I don't double cleanse. Most often it's just a quick rinse with water, use a toner and sometimes a serum, switch the eye cream to the Klairs Fundamental Eye Awakening Gel and end the routine with either the Klairs Soft Airy UV Essence SPF50+ or the Purito Centella Green Level Unscented Sun SPF50+ and the Hurraw SPF 15 Sun Lip Balm! ☀️ This sounds like A LOT of products, but sometimes it's just a splash of water and toner, some eye gel and a sunscreen. YesStyle has been my personal fav webshop for Korean skincare for over 5 years, but Stylevana's range of cruelty free brands sounds great as well! 😍 I live in Belgium and I'm not sure if I should order from their French or UK homepage...
Also, I had always been interested in the eczema friendly and sometimes vegan friendly Pyungkang Yul products, but I lost my interest when I read that they were looking into selling in China - and that was at the end of last year... 😔
This is exactly what I've been looking into- you just saved me soooo much research and triple-checking 😍😍you are an absolute gem and a life-changer once again.
I’m so happy I’m getting here early, I love seeing Cassandra’s videos without seeing all the people in the comments asking questions. Dint get me wrong I love seeing people going through their skincare journey but I also love seeing all of the pure love and support for Cassandra at the beginning of the videos 💖💖
Thank you, Cassandra! I am a big fan of K-beauty and it’s what I use for my skincare almost exclusively. But I have to say, your video is the first one that really focused on the full routine that’s targeted for acne-prone skin. I am extremely grateful and excited to put your suggestions to good use! 😊 thank you so much for putting so much work and research for this video! Gamsahabnida! 😘
I just happen to see this video while scrolling on your feed. I've been a silent viewer and I just happen to know you on Facebook and I didn't realize that I became habituated of watching your videos. I've been trying out different products just because people said it work, but as you said, we all have different skin and body and I must accept that. But because of your videos, I'm becoming more aware and I'm learning more about my skin and how should I take care of it. I'm someone who can't afford to go to the doctor but because of you, I'm learning and I'm very much thankful for that. Thank you for this. I'm just glad that someone like you is doing this to educate me who has oily and acne-prone skin but who's afraid to try products. I'm very much thankful to Cassandra, the acne big sis, and because of that, I'm one your butterflies now who's starting to spread her wings. Love from the Philippines 🇵🇭
Here are some more Korean favorites for oily acne prone skin. 1. COSRX AC collection 2. COSRX cica collection 3. Purito centella unscented serum 4. Benton tea tree collection 5. Bonajour peptide water bomb 6. Pyunkang Gel moisturizing gel cream 7. Etude Soon Jung collection
I got the Pyunkang Yul ess/ toner just the other day, mostly because it was recommended for the 7 skin method. Plus I wanted a toner without an acid for nights I want to use other actives. It's been so smoothing and is wonderful when you layer it on! Pro tip: Get a pointy nail file to open it! I was not even about to sacrifice my nails to that! 😅 but I do love the feel of this toner, and the box is great to use for makeup brushes! Reduce reuse recycle! ☺️
I have acne-prone skin and I am using only Korean cosmetics with exception of The Ordinary. The best toner is Haruharu - Wonder black rice toner; the best essence - Cosrx - BHA essence; the best serum - By wishtrend - 21.5% vit C; the best cream is Haruharu - Wonder black rice cream and the best sunscreen- Purito Centella Unscented
I've never really suffered from acne, the occasional cyst pops up, but nothing unmanageable, and yet I'm still here, watching all of your acne videos cause you never know.
I feel the Pyunkang Yul moisture cream has been grossly undersold in this lovely video. It is hands down the best am and pm moisturiser for very oily, very sensitive, very acne prone skin. It is the only thing in this world not to be sticky on top of your skin but it sinks in and gives hydrated and cooling feel on your skin. Excellent with sunscreen and makeup. Highly recommended. The only thing I would say is that you need something else with it long-term for brightening, anti-aging or any other skin concern. I used this for years and I always have .ca three back-ups. If you are cash stripped that cream is the thing to buy, the rest is luxury and fairly easily replaced with something else.
Lesson: How to pronounce “Pyungkang Yul.” Two things you need to know about Korean names is that the “u” part usually is pronounced as “eo” if it is preceded by a "y," and the “k” sound is actually more of a “g/gh” sound. Pronounce the “p” like p as in pickle. Pronounce “yu” like the yeo part of yeoman (this the closest way I can make you understand without meeting for real, reference video here th-cam.com/video/lUBsSm6wnGo/w-d-xo.html) and add the “ng” part at the end. Basically read “kang” as “ghang.” Yul is pronounced just like “yule.”
this was awesome! to be honest, I used to be really bad with skincare! I would wipe my make up of with a wipe and call it a day! I only really got into skincare back in March when lockdown started in London, and I discovered you, Hyram and James welsh and I will always be grateful, because my skin has never looked better! I spent years fighting acne until it finally went away with Differin, but now I make sure to keep my skin clean and healthy. and... glowy thanks to Korean skincare! I have now completely switched to Korean products and I couldn't be happier. Pyunkang Yul is one of my favourite brands, I love their essence toner. and I am now interested in that Be Plain cleanser!!! I want it! LOVE the Iunik gel moisturiser!! if you're interested in cruelty free Korean products, I would recommend trying out Purito, Benton and Cosrx as well :)
The iunik centella gel cream saved my skin this summer. With the mascne going on, it was the best thing to happen to me this year (at least on the skincare realm)
K Beauty has a million products targeted to acne prone skin. The vast majority of their products have centella, tea tree and Niacinamide, which are fantastic for acne prone skin. All their creams and gels are breathable, which are perfect for any skin type. They have something for everyone.
Cassandra, thank you for all of your tips. Every since I started using my IUD, my acne got a lot worse. Your channel really helped me through my path of accepting my skin and finding the right products.
Everyone talks about the iunik tea tree serum but no one talk about how good the toner is!!! The ingredients are j beautiful (sry I am geeking out over this haha)
Pyunkang Yul is one of my favourite brands. They make such amazingly effective, gentle products. They might not use fancy ingredinets, but you can always be sure their stuff will be calming for your skin. I use their shampoo, too. Finally my scalp doesn't itch
Just a random korean who lives in Indonesia and enjoys watching your channel here :D I'm not familiar with that first brand you introduced, but I think the correct pronounciation is 편강 = Pyeon-gang (which is a sliced ginger dipped or simmered in a sugar and dried). For Yul, you pronounced it correctly as it is 😀 P.s. your pronounciation for 감사합니다(kamsa-habnida) is awesome !
I got the tea tree toner and a weaker Niacainamide serum as I thought I was using too much before which was causing more irritation then helping, either that or the tea tree is just soothing the acne away... either way certainly a new Holy grail ❤
THANK U I LOVE how Korean skin care makes ppls skin look like some ppl think they look oily but they have like no pores but I never could cause I have fungal acne and I can literaly only use like 3 products but I want the hydrated glowly skin
You should try all cosrx products. Especially the old favorites. Most of them are focused on acne prone skin. Those products saved my skin. But I do love iUNIK and pyunkang Yul products!
I think the biggest reason why my face started getting better when I started using k beauty was because it was so hecking gentle because not only did I have acne, my skin barrier was so effed everything hurt burned and made me red. Now I’m a toner fiend and long live layering lol. Btw the make prem brand has another sun fluid spf (150ml instead of 200ml) that has calamine in it for anyone who gets itchy, I own this version and so far I’m liking in.
Love K Beauty! Starting to feel like my American skincare is second best. Ordered my first Stylevana goodies last month. Mostly gifts. Be aware that it does take awhile. SO excited! Love You Cassandra! I was born in 1960 and watched Dark Shadows in the early days. There was a character (vampiress? No relation:) named Cassandra. That was my favorite name.
You goooo glen coco Cassandra is amazing!! How one human being can be so smart , kind and intelligent and creates these videos al the time with sooo much information!! I love it!! Love you Cyster 🥰🥰🥰 From a fellow esthetician
I really enjoy watching Cassandra’s videos, love her energy and Jokes kkkk, my mood gets so much better after watching her! Besides all her knowledge (got me 👁👄👁all of her videos) I really like the atmosphere and your effort! Keep goinggggg🦋🦋🦋🦋 (keep emptying my wallet💜)
Cassandra, thank you so much for this video. Most moisturisers, sunscreens and serums break me out - even when I research the ingredients! I recently used the Biore Aqua rich SPF (seemingly safe for most acne-prone skin) and the breakouts have caused lasting hyperpigmentation. Your channel helps to prevent future scarring - thank you!!
have you tried that PREM sunscreen already? Did it work for you? I am curious if I should order it, cause I heard people complain that it has a lot of fragrance
Idk why but my skin’s been freaking out this last 2 weeks:( I think i’m just super sensitive to fragrance which both my cleanser and moisturizer have as an ingredient Can’t wait for my class to finish to watch it though!
Hi! I suffer from an allergy to fragrance my hole life so if you like I could share my routine, I don't know if it could be helpful ahaha - hyaluronic acid inkey list - moisturizer from the facetheory (they have all of their products in the non fragrance option) - spf from purito centella asiatica water block As cleanser I use oat cleansing balm from the inkey list but it's new so I don't know if it irritates me or not ahahha I'm allergic also to alcohol and another preservative. Like the inkey list moisturizing with vitamin a b and c make me a terrible rash. And then the Paula's choice cleanser and bha liquid. Oh and the retinol from the ordinary Hope this helped...! 😍 I have really sensitive skin it irritates with nothing... Kisses from Italy!
Hi, Cassandra, this video is so long overdue. It is like you read my might. I lovvvvvvvve your videos and love you. I was wondering if you could do a video recommending korean skin care products for 30+ people? I'm 36 years old, black woman, with oily skin, with acne issue and would like some recommendation for retinol, vitamin c and so on....thanks a thousand
You should deffo look into the Korean brand SOME BY MI, I just ordered the Yuja Niacin 30 Days Blemish Care Serum to try out, because my current ascorbyl glucoside serum from the ordinary hasn't done anything in order to lighten my scarring! SOME BY MI have a lot of products for acne-prone skin as well, would be great to see a video on your thoughts!
so glad you love Pukyang Yul as much as I do :) its developed by the Pyunkang Oriental Medicine Clinic in Korea, it used to be just used on their patients, but people loved it so much that they started mass producing them. This is why they have industrial packaging (I believe) :D also your description of the consistencies were amazing hahah :D
You probably won’t see this Cassandra but I just want to say thank you thank you thank you !!!❤️❤️❤️ thanks to you I tried out the isntree hyaluronic acid sunscreen and it is THE BEST sunscreen I have ever used and now my absolute favourite and I will use this one for the rest of my life hopefully. I have tried many sunscreens but they haven’t worked until this one thanks to your recommendation!! I now wear spf every day and re apply it with no complaint thanks to this holy grail sunscreen. I love you and your videos so much you have taught me so much about skincare and some of my absolute fav products have been discovered because of you. Keep being amazing ❣️❣️❣️
I'm only a minute in, but as a k-beauty lover I was like "NO! I have acne! I use it! There's so much good!" It def has improved my skin over all and there's a lot of products, just turn and learn with COSDNA and SkinCarisma!
and I'm in the opinion not everything should be focused on acne. That always destroyed my skin. Just make sure everything won't irritate it, but use certain products to treat it.
Cassandra.... Goodbye to all my money!!!💸💸💸 I've got a few of those products from your previous video and I'm really enjoying them! Lots of love and keep safe 💚💛🧡🦋
Acne problem? Try CosRx AC Collection Intensive Set the sampler is a great way to calm it and minimize oil. This works for me. This contains cleanser, toner (used once to twice a week), lightweight moisturizer and spot cream at night. In the morning, you can go with whatever skin routine you prefer.
I’m not sure if you’ve heard of Some by Mi, another Kbeauty, they have AHA BHA PHA skin care line for acne prone skin. I’ve been watching your videos for a while now and i can say that already have “skintelligence” 😉🦋
You should try the brand Purito! I get it off of Amazon. I have hormonal acne and this brand has a lot of really good products that don’t make my breakouts worse💜💜
You changed my skin - changed my life ❤️ Can you pls make a video about pregnancy safe skin care? I love my niacinamid, BHAs and AHAs, the ordinary granactive retinoid, so I’m trying to find something to substitute. And sunscreen, let´s not forget about that 🙂
Yes! Thank you Cassandra! I've been looking for a review of the Pyunkang Yul products for acne-prone skin but couldn't really find much until I found your video!
I so LOVE the iUnik Centella Calming Gel Cream! It helps with acne and it easily absorbs well on the skin. This lockdown I discovered this and now loving it! Will try the iUnik Tea Tree Relief toner (and serum) next :)
I greatly appreciate you making this very informative video. I certainly have decided to branch out into K-Beauty skincare and I do have acne and hyperpigmentation. This gave me a wonderful guide of what products to test out from these amazing Korean formulas for my difficult skin. Thank you!
This video was so amazingly detailed! I got to learn about so many new K beauty brands. My knowledge of K beauty used to revolve around Innisfree, Cosrx, Laneige, and Purito 😂. I'd love to see a similar videos for dry, oily and combination skin types!
*I totally agree Kbeauty is magical for acne prone skin. It was a game changer for acne prone but dry skin. Super gentle and yet effective. Fab recommendations Cassandra. Love your videos always* 🙂👍
Oh no...And I've just placed my order with Stylevana few days ago...Only, if I've seen this video... As always fab, very informative video Cassandra:) xx
Yes please explain the one n outs of toner on Essence, I can't remember the name of that 3rd step. Help please???? Call my attention to the video when it's up.
love your videos and thank you!! continually looking for help with skin and really appreciate your factual take rather than the "pretty package" take. thank you for all your hard work!!
Cassandra, I love learning so much from you. Could I ask you to possibly stop tossing the products. I have really bad anxiety, and I have a hard time watching videos. Thank you
I think she does it to help herself during the editing process. It helps to break up the video into segments and tossing the products seems like a good cue. Not sure though but, just my thoughts.
Who is loving the prices for these products! I totally just bought like 6 of these products to slowly introduce to my skin line. Also Xass if you read this got a question for you doll. Would you say using this sunscreen you recommended better than the zinc screen because it's so much more affordable for gals like me
I haven't tried it yet, but PunkangYul has a whole acne line not just the cleanser. There's also lots of products that are much more geared towards acne on StyleVana, including many things with BHA and a couple retinol products. I really like the SkinByMi AHA/BHA/PHA body cleanser which I also use on my face in the shower. It's fairly foamy but not stripping at all. I'd like to try the serum or toner from that line next. There's also lots of lines with an ingredient called Houttuynia Cordata which I believe is mugwort in english that's said to be good for acne as well as being very calming to the skin. I use a mist that's just fermented houttuynia cordata water that I absolutely love. Overall I find Korean acne fighting products to be much more soothing and hydrating than anything based in north america (that I can afford at least!). I am very intrigued by the Logically, Skin brand now so thanks for that lol
Love this video!!! Thanks a lot Cassandra. The only thing is I wish you would have added an Alpha arbutin or a vitamin C serum to the skincare routine.
Oh no no, it's not like videos load right away, uploading a video can take hours (it needs to render). She probably posted it at 12-1 AM, and finally went through at 4am. But I see why you'd be concerned! Lol
K-beauty philosophy is like "kill the blemishes with kindness"
Korean skincare products have such superior formulas for a reasonable price it's almost unbelievable 😳
Makes you realise how badly we've been ripped off for so long by US companies 😩😂

My skin has been loving k-beauty products so much that they're quickly replacing all the other products in my routine.
K beauty and focusing on hydration has made a huge difference for my acne.
Please, Cassandra, anti-aging K-beauty routine next!
This woman is everything. I've been so confused on how to incorporate an essence into my routine. I'm understanding more and more. Stylevana is so affordable! Thank you Cassandra my fellow Amazon lol
It’s like nearly 1AM but my queen skincare scientist is talking about K beauty products..
*another video, it shall*
I would have said “matcha pancake batter” but okay 😂😂
You mentioned all of the Pyunkang Yul products I already use and love! Totally agree. Amazing products.
My mild, vegan and cruelty free Korean skincare routine for my skin that's sensitive and prone to both eczema and acne:

For clarifying I like the Isntree Spot Saver Mugwort Ampoule, the Rovectin Clean LHA Blemish Ampule, the TIA'M Vita B3 Source and the iUNIK Tea Tree Relief Serum.
🌿
For hydrating either the Benton Deep Green Tea Serum, the Purito Centella Unscented Serum, the Purito Pure Hyaluronic Acid 90 Serum or the iUNIK Beta-Glucan Power Moisture Serum. 💦
And I end the night time routine with some Benton Fermentation Eye Cream (I've repurchased this at least 5 times because it saved my eyelids from eczema flareups - I feel like I really enjoy eye cream because I can get both millia and eczema around my eyes - but I only ever buy eye cream when it's on sale though! 😏) and a moisturiser (Bonajour Green Tea Water Bomb, Barr Centella Calming Barrier Cream, COSRX B5 D-Panthenol Cream, Olivarrier Emollient Extra Comfort Cream, COSRX Ultimate Nourishing Rice Overnight Spa Mask or Purito Dermide Cica Barrier Sleeping Pack).
🥰
On days when my skin needs something extra to seal in all of the hydration, I mix a couple of drops of squalane oil, macadamia oil or rosehip seed oil into the moisturiser (tamanu oil is supposed to be great for my skin type as well, but I haven't tried it yet).
Lastly, I apply the Aromatica Lip Nectar, the Aromatica Comforting Calendula Decoction Balm or the Hurraw Moon Lip Balm (the only non-Korean thing that touches my skin apparently lol ❤️🇰🇷)

And if you copy paste it to Translate --> 편강율 you can also listen to it :)
Thank you :)
this was awesome! to be honest, I used to be really bad with skincare! I would wipe my make up of with a wipe and call it a day! I only really got into skincare back in March when lockdown started in London, and I discovered you, Hyram and James welsh and I will always be grateful, because my skin has never looked better! I spent years fighting acne until it finally went away with Differin, but now I make sure to keep my skin clean and healthy. and... glowy thanks to Korean skincare! I have now completely switched to Korean products and I couldn't be happier. Pyunkang Yul is one of my favourite brands, I love their essence toner. and I am now interested in that Be Plain cleanser!!! I want it! LOVE the Iunik gel moisturiser!! if you're interested in cruelty free Korean products, I would recommend trying out Purito, Benton and Cosrx as well :)
The iunik centella gel cream saved my skin this summer. With the mascne going on, it was the best thing to happen to me this year (at least on the skincare realm)
You are so beautiful with makeup or without makeup cassandra
Lots of love from india

Absolutely correct on acne prone skin!! I broke out so bad using Korean skincare I was so mad! Over moisturising products
K Beauty has a million products targeted to acne prone skin. The vast majority of their products have centella, tea tree and Niacinamide, which are fantastic for acne prone skin. All their creams and gels are breathable, which are perfect for any skin type. They have something for everyone.
Love Cassandra's long videos, otherwise 10 minutes is just not enough for me! 😄
I feel you
Cassandra, thank you for all of your tips. Every since I started using my IUD, my acne got a lot worse. Your channel really helped me through my path of accepting my skin and finding the right products.
Everyone talks about the iunik tea tree serum but no one talk about how good the toner is!!! The ingredients are j beautiful (sry I am geeking out over this haha)
iunik also has a beta glucan serum that at least one esty I follow likes.
That be plain cleanser is my gooooo to morning cleanser. It's so soothing
I need to try this cleanser. Looks very interesting 🙂👍
Pyunkang Yul is one of my favourite brands. They make such amazingly effective, gentle products. They might not use fancy ingredinets, but you can always be sure their stuff will be calming for your skin. I use their shampoo, too. Finally my scalp doesn't itch
Just a random korean who lives in Indonesia and enjoys watching your channel here :D
I'm not familiar with that first brand you introduced, but I think the correct pronounciation is 편강 = Pyeon-gang (which is a sliced ginger dipped or simmered in a sugar and dried).
For Yul, you pronounced it correctly as it is 😀
P.s. your pronounciation for 감사합니다(kamsa-habnida) is awesome !
ooo I'm indonesian haha
I'm here for you diving deeper and deeper into K beauty.
Yes I agree 🙂👍
I got the tea tree toner and a weaker Niacainamide serum as I thought I was using too much before which was causing more irritation then helping, either that or the tea tree is just soothing the acne away... either way certainly a new Holy grail ❤
THANK U I LOVE how Korean skin care makes ppls skin look like some ppl think they look oily but they have like no pores but I never could cause I have fungal acne and I can literaly only use like 3 products but I want the hydrated glowly skin
You should try all cosrx products. Especially the old favorites. Most of them are focused on acne prone skin. Those products saved my skin.
But I do love iUNIK and pyunkang Yul products!
I think the biggest reason why my face started getting better when I started using k beauty was because it was so hecking gentle because not only did I have acne, my skin barrier was so effed everything hurt burned and made me red. Now I’m a toner fiend and long live layering lol. Btw the make prem brand has another sun fluid spf (150ml instead of 200ml) that has calamine in it for anyone who gets itchy, I own this version and so far I’m liking in.
My gosh the analogies in the video are next level! So poetic!
Love K Beauty! Starting to feel like my American skincare is second best. Ordered my first Stylevana goodies last month. Mostly gifts. Be aware that it does take awhile. SO excited! Love You Cassandra! I was born in 1960 and watched Dark Shadows in the early days. There was a character (vampiress? No relation:) named Cassandra. That was my favorite name.
You can't imagine how much your videos are helpful for me and my super oily acne prone skin !!
Please can you review Korean products containing Mugwort. This is also suitable for acne prone skin
You goooo glen coco
Cassandra is amazing!!
How one human being can be so smart , kind and intelligent and creates these videos al the time with sooo much information!!
I love it!! Love you Cyster 🥰🥰🥰

I really enjoy watching Cassandra’s videos, love her energy and Jokes kkkk, my mood gets so much better after watching her! Besides all her knowledge (got me 👁👄👁all of her videos) I really like the atmosphere and your effort! Keep goinggggg🦋🦋🦋🦋 (keep emptying my wallet💜)
The Essence Toner is my favorite, it's so good and simple.
I know people complain about the amount of time stylevana’s shipping takes but, man, you just really can’t beat those prices
Cassandra, thank you so much for this video.
Most moisturisers, sunscreens and serums break me out - even when I research the ingredients!
I recently used the Biore Aqua rich SPF (seemingly safe for most acne-prone skin) and the breakouts have caused lasting hyperpigmentation.
Your channel helps to prevent future scarring - thank you!!
have you tried that PREM sunscreen already? Did it work for you? I am curious if I should order it, cause I heard people complain that it has a lot of fragrance
It was super easy for me to find acne fighting products online. You mentioned some of my fav brands though! I love them
I love the pyunkang yul essence, and a tiny amount goes a long way!
Love ur videos 💝
They have helped me a lot to deal with my acne
Plzzz...keep on posting more and more videos..
Idk why but my skin’s been freaking out this last 2 weeks:(
I think i’m just super sensitive to fragrance which both my cleanser and moisturizer have as an ingredient
Can’t wait for my class to finish to watch it though!
Hi! I suffer from an allergy to fragrance my hole life so if you like I could share my routine, I don't know if it could be helpful ahaha
- hyaluronic acid inkey list
- moisturizer from the facetheory (they have all of their products in the non fragrance option)
- spf from purito centella asiatica water block
As cleanser I use oat cleansing balm from the inkey list but it's new so I don't know if it irritates me or not ahahha I'm allergic also to alcohol and another preservative. Like the inkey list moisturizing with vitamin a b and c make me a terrible rash. And then the Paula's choice cleanser and bha liquid. Oh and the retinol from the ordinary
Hope this helped...! 😍 I have really sensitive skin it irritates with nothing... Kisses from Italy!
Paulas choice’s products are all fragrance free and well researched!
@@camillamarossi5282 omg thank you!!!
@@hannaelawil8793 thanks!yeah I really should get some samples
@@hannaelawil8793 yeah but you can be allergic to anything so it doesn't matter how good the line is if it contains that ingredient 🤷♀️
Hi, Cassandra, this video is so long overdue. It is like you read my might. I lovvvvvvvve your videos and love you. I was wondering if you could do a video recommending korean skin care products for 30+ people? I'm 36 years old, black woman, with oily skin, with acne issue and would like some recommendation for retinol, vitamin c and so on....thanks a thousand
I have shared Kbeauty Vitamin C serum and maskne tips on my video. I hope it helps 🙂👍
@@beautyfable thanks, I will watch the video
I brought most of these just now. I hope they're good. I trust you Cassandra 💗
Legit the best K beauty routine I’ve seen on you tube and Stylevana service is amazing. Thank you
You should deffo look into the Korean brand SOME BY MI, I just ordered the Yuja Niacin 30 Days Blemish Care Serum to try out, because my current ascorbyl glucoside serum from the ordinary hasn't done anything in order to lighten my scarring!
SOME BY MI have a lot of products for acne-prone skin as well, would be great to see a video on your thoughts!
Ya i dont know why they don't talk abt some by mi
I’m not 100% sure so someone please correct me if I’m wrong, but I believe some by mi isn’t cruelty-free
@@nicolepatterson364 oh i wasnt aware of that, ill have to check!
so glad you love Pukyang Yul as much as I do :) its developed by the Pyunkang Oriental Medicine Clinic in Korea, it used to be just used on their patients, but people loved it so much that they started mass producing them. This is why they have industrial packaging (I believe) :D also your description of the consistencies were amazing hahah :D
Great information on the backstory of Pyunkang yul . Thanks for sharing it 🙂👍
@zealously zanier it is cruelty free!
Dr. Dray raves a lot about the Pyunkang Yul products. So I'm not surprised you liked it too.
next step: a wishtrend box curated by you.
PLEAAESEEEE
I am commenting without even reading the caption lol 😂 but excited 😆
Oh okay, video for all my cyst-ers 😘 (including myself)
You probably won’t see this Cassandra but I just want to say thank you thank you thank you !!!❤️❤️❤️ thanks to you I tried out the isntree hyaluronic acid sunscreen and it is THE BEST sunscreen I have ever used and now my absolute favourite and I will use this one for the rest of my life hopefully. I have tried many sunscreens but they haven’t worked until this one thanks to your recommendation!! I now wear spf every day and re apply it with no complaint thanks to this holy grail sunscreen. I love you and your videos so much you have taught me so much about skincare and some of my absolute fav products have been discovered because of you. Keep being amazing ❣️❣️❣️
I'm only a minute in, but as a k-beauty lover I was like "NO! I have acne! I use it! There's so much good!" It def has improved my skin over all and there's a lot of products, just turn and learn with COSDNA and SkinCarisma!
and I'm in the opinion not everything should be focused on acne. That always destroyed my skin. Just make sure everything won't irritate it, but use certain products to treat it.
So happy to see a follow up of K-beauty/k-skincare since your last video!!!!!
Cassandra.... Goodbye to all my money!!!💸💸💸 I've got a few of those products from your previous video and I'm really enjoying them! Lots of love and keep safe 💚💛🧡🦋
I am so grateful , thank you ! The info is so helpful. And love that all are cruelty free! Thank you again

I don´t even have acne but your videos are so entertaining and educational that I still watched through the whole thing
Acne problem? Try CosRx AC Collection Intensive Set the sampler is a great way to calm it and minimize oil. This works for me. This contains cleanser, toner (used once to twice a week), lightweight moisturizer and spot cream at night. In the morning, you can go with whatever skin routine you prefer.
I’m not sure if you’ve heard of Some by Mi, another Kbeauty, they have AHA BHA PHA skin care line for acne prone skin.
I’ve been watching your videos for a while now and i can say that already have “skintelligence” 😉🦋
+c
know
Just ordered every product she recommends on this video , hope it helps me too . Thankyou 💕
Girl, did u notice any difference? I have acne prone skin / oily but gets dry as well im lost
You should try the brand Purito! I get it off of Amazon. I have hormonal acne and this brand has a lot of really good products that don’t make my breakouts worse💜💜
please do anti-aging k beauty skincare :)
Cassandra can you do a video where you talk about your favorite oily skin cleanser and you create a routine for blackheads, oily skin, and blemishes
You changed my skin - changed my life ❤️ Can you pls make a video about pregnancy safe skin care? I love my niacinamid, BHAs and AHAs, the ordinary granactive retinoid, so I’m trying to find something to substitute. And sunscreen, let´s not forget about that 🙂
Yes! Thank you Cassandra! I've been looking for a review of the Pyunkang Yul products for acne-prone skin but couldn't really find much until I found your video!
I so LOVE the iUnik Centella Calming Gel Cream! It helps with acne and it easily absorbs well on the skin. This lockdown I discovered this and now loving it! Will try the iUnik Tea Tree Relief toner (and serum) next :)
I greatly appreciate you making this very informative video. I certainly have decided to branch out into K-Beauty skincare and I do have acne and hyperpigmentation. This gave me a wonderful guide of what products to test out from these amazing Korean formulas for my difficult skin. Thank you!
I love your descriptions of all the products lol. Makes me want to buy them
O yes me too 🙂👍
This video was so amazingly detailed! I got to learn about so many new K beauty brands. My knowledge of K beauty used to revolve around Innisfree, Cosrx, Laneige, and Purito 😂. I'd love to see a similar videos for dry, oily and combination skin types!
*I totally agree Kbeauty is magical for acne prone skin. It was a game changer for acne prone but dry skin. Super gentle and yet effective. Fab recommendations Cassandra. Love your videos always* 🙂👍
Oh no...And I've just placed my order with Stylevana few days ago...Only, if I've seen this video...
As always fab, very informative video Cassandra:) xx
I'll never get enough of your videos, they are so on point 💘
I love Pyunkang Yul products. I've re-purchased them multiple times.
Yes please explain the one n outs of toner on Essence, I can't remember the name of that 3rd step. Help please???? Call my attention to the video when it's up.
YESSSSSSS!!! This is exactly what im struggling with. Thank u!
THIS VIDEO IS EXACTLY WHAT I NEEDED!
love your videos and thank you!! continually looking for help with skin and really appreciate your factual take rather than the "pretty package" take. thank you for all your hard work!!
oh my god, cassandra! i LOVE your channel and your energy and your mind
Cassandra, I love learning so much from you. Could I ask you to possibly stop tossing the products. I have really bad anxiety, and I have a hard time watching videos. Thank you
I feel the exact same way!!!
@@SophiaHimawan thank you for saying that. She is so amazing, I hate to ask but I don't want to miss any videos.
I think she does it to help herself during the editing process. It helps to break up the video into segments and tossing the products seems like a good cue. Not sure though but, just my thoughts.
Thank you Keata for another point of view. I never thought about it like that. Much appreciated
BRB going to go buy all of this..also not even super expensive
yes to the toner essence video !
Loved this video!! would be amazing if you do something similar but for dry/sensitive skin!!💙
Omg I literally was just looking up k-beauty then this video pops up!! 💙💙
As an extreme combo cyster this routine seems like it was made for me
Who is loving the prices for these products! I totally just bought like 6 of these products to slowly introduce to my skin line. Also Xass if you read this got a question for you doll. Would you say using this sunscreen you recommended better than the zinc screen because it's so much more affordable for gals like me
I have shared lots of sunscreen videos on my channel with very affordable sunscreens. I hope it helps 🙂👍
I haven't tried it yet, but PunkangYul has a whole acne line not just the cleanser. There's also lots of products that are much more geared towards acne on StyleVana, including many things with BHA and a couple retinol products. I really like the SkinByMi AHA/BHA/PHA body cleanser which I also use on my face in the shower. It's fairly foamy but not stripping at all. I'd like to try the serum or toner from that line next. There's also lots of lines with an ingredient called Houttuynia Cordata which I believe is mugwort in english that's said to be good for acne as well as being very calming to the skin. I use a mist that's just fermented houttuynia cordata water that I absolutely love. Overall I find Korean acne fighting products to be much more soothing and hydrating than anything based in north america (that I can afford at least!). I am very intrigued by the Logically, Skin brand now so thanks for that lol
Love this video!!! Thanks a lot Cassandra. The only thing is I wish you would have added an Alpha arbutin or a vitamin C serum to the skincare routine.
It’s quite concerning how you’re posting at 4 am EST. Unless you live in CA then that’s 1 am
she does live in CA
You’d be real worried about Hyram then lol
Oh no no, it's not like videos load right away, uploading a video can take hours (it needs to render). She probably posted it at 12-1 AM, and finally went through at 4am. But I see why you'd be concerned! Lol
Sometimes you can upload it and then it takes a long time to upload.
Jamie Yayme yes when i upload on my channel it takes a few hours
