i did not expect to learn about chemical cremation in a skin care video
“If i wasn’t a lesbian” HOW DID I NOT KNOW THIS 🥺😭💕
RIGHT! I audibly gasped 😂💕
right?!?!?!
I loveeee
She did talk about that in one of her previous videos...can't remember which one, tho.

Saaaaaame!!! Kombucha siblings unite!!
Wtf cassandra used to swear by pixi glow tonic for YEARS and now she suddenly says its bad. *yawn*
I had no clue Cassandra was a lesbian and now I feel better for swooning over her 🥰😘
I’m gay but she’s bae 😌
howd you kno
Im straight and i swoon over her too😉
I swoon over her and I’m not gay 😂
Same.
Cassandra + Hyram + James welsh (+Dr Dray + Liah too and Susan Yara) skincare advice = 👌👌

Best combo 😂

"it's not something you find on sephora" ironically in my country it's only sold at sephora and it's expensive :(
Right!
Yea it’s like that in Australia 😅😅
Yes :(
Same 😭
Same T.T
hey cassandra, i am a young adult with struggling acne. you know how ethan dolan had super bad forehead acne? i had that on all parts of my face for over 3 years. my dermatologist, you, hyram, and james welsh have tremendously helped me battle my hyperpigmentation, scars, and cystic acne. seeing your skin from your old videos to you now, gave me hope that my acne can go away! thank you, for all that you do and helping me to my clear skin goals 🙌❤️
Look up Wayne Goss and his videos on acne/skin care. He'll give you the best method to eliminate your acne for good.
I am late to the party but if you are still struggling if you haven’t already trentoin works wonders for acne (this is what I use/used) to rid my acne. It’s a RX from your doctor. Otherwise you can get differin over the counter as well.
Not sure what you’re doing, but your hair is so beautiful. Very silky and healthy looking. 💙
Right!
Why in india they launched average and highly overrated brands like pixi, bodyshop etc..why no one is bringing, the ordinary, purito, iunik, codex, Paula's choice etc...and in lockdown all international shipping are banned...so we Indians have really bad luck when it comes to our skincare...and also there is just so much lack of awareness..
Indian market mahn 🤣🤣🤣 we get fooled fast.
That's exactly my thoughts. The only difference is that I live in Russia
Beg to differ here, the body shop is a great brand, its not overrated at all. The ethics behind that company is what every other company, not only in India but all over the world needs to practice! Also, you can buy purito from beautybarn.in & the ordinary from coral-beauty.com sold in India (they haven't resumed selling yet because of covid) instead of importing them and paying customs. PS international shipping has been resumed, I got some stuff delivered by DHL express in july.
Ya I was thinking the same
I would suggest you to try Indian products that are awwwwsum.... Times have changed n so have quality of Indian skin care products!!! Try Kama, Dot&Key, Plum, Suganda, Khadi, Forest Essentials n many many more....
I LOVE hyram but hes not a chemist and has a very shallow understanding of ingredients. Trusting you cassie on this one!
Same
My Dermatologist explained sodium hydroxide to me. If you don't know exactly what it is...ask an expert. 😉✌🏻
I was all for fragrance in products etc and never had any issues with them until YEARS later now I have allergic contact dermatitis from those fragrances! Basically it catches up to u maybe you don’t have it now but later down the track... lol And it’s not fun! I used to scratch my skin for hours before bed and ended up with insomnia and waking up at 3-4am every night scratching my skin so I don’t think Hyram is shallow with his understanding if anything it’s better to be safe than ending up like me lol there are so many preservatives skincare brands can use instead of using fragrances as a preservatives! 💕 just my thoughts!
@@vatteysonara3420 oh i agree, i wanna get a tshirt with the word fragrance in a circle crossed out!😂 i just meant that as a regular person his understanding of chemistry is limited and in this case out of his depth. To say hes not shallow of his understanding of "anything"...really? You think he knows everything?! Lol
barely listening i just see Hyram as a friend that would tell u what’s good and what’s not I don’t see him as a professional he does say it in every single video tho so it’s up to you to listen to him or not I just think he would only recommend what’s good that’s all :)
I love that the skincare community supports each other, and helps each other out! The beauty gurus on the other hand..
I really enjoy hyrams videos but you explain ingredients from a clinical, and scientific side. You explain why “toxic” ingredients aren’t actually toxic and how the percentages matter as they can be beneficial. You really uncover things that other youtubers don’t talk about because of your medical experience. You’re one of the best skincare people out there. 👍🏻👍🏻
I love how instead of degrading Hyram she helps him learn and grow so he can become more informed and helpful(he has mentioned he likes it when people do that). Like this woman is a gift from heaven.
Agreed!
The FRAGRANCE in some of their products oh my god
Hyram got to you😂
My nose goes crazy!
I got their toner as a gift and I'm trying to use it up, but my god, does it smell vile. Like a mix of an old lady's perfume and bug spray.
Llynya90 lmaooo so accurate!
paula begoun rates this line all bad... i'm going to stick with fragrance = bad . shame what looks like a good product get put back because of it
After years of battling with spots, pixi glow toner literally cleared my skin within days. So I've always loved it for that reason! Love how informed you are but also so kind to others that may disagree. You are just the best human on TH-cam!
I agree. I love Pixie by Petra products because they work. Petra's sister is a licensed esthetician.
Hey, Cassandra! I'm a 25-year-old white male, and your videos made me want to take better care of my skin, and myself overall 😊
@x oh, my bad! Thanks for the headsup!
@@millenialfragrancenerd94 hey hun I'm pretty sure that commenter was lying.
@@millenialfragrancenerd94 Cassandra liked your comment, so obviously they were just trolling
@@morgancarmichael2386 I had a hunch, but I decided not to argue with them, cause there'd have been no point to it!
@x why was this comment so hilarious
I love how the universe works. I was literally doing my nightly routine debating on using the pixi retinol serum (used pailas choice instead) and thinking I wonder if Cassandra has any information on the pixi line. And then I get a notification about your new upload. Lol 🖤
Came for a toner review, got body dissolving reviews. Now I'm a super fan of this channel.
Thankyou for speaking up on fragrance, we all need to understand that concept rather than hating it blindy❤️
Hello Esthi-Besti/Cyst-er!! I’m a fellow medically trained Esthi, and I LOVE this video! Thank you for putting this info out here with your platform. It’s so refreshing 💕💕 and thank you for always being so transparent and going into depth with your research and showing your audience. Your videos always relax me 😁.
Thank you for explaining sodium hydroxide in skincare! I knew from high school chemistry class that NaOH has a pH of 14, and that an alkaline mixed with an acid will create a salt and water: NaOH + HCl = NaCl + H2O. I've always wondered about such a caustic substance used in skincare. It now makes sense that the formulation process can alter its chemistry.
I’m so grateful I found your channel! Incredibly informative AND rational!! No fear mongering, no spinning! My god, Cassandra, I hope you keep doing this for a long long time!! Thank you ever so much!!❤️❤️❤️
i swear the quality of your content keeps on getting better!! thank you, cassandra ❤️
I am glad my sleep schedule is bad because I get to see this video asap. Your next "The Truth about" should be Youth to the People. I am glad you got rid of that manager, they sound awful because well.. they are.
I completely agree with you on the NaOH point and I love that you explain your opinions from a scientific perspective. As much as I appreciate Hyram's videos and I think they're great to get you started and for people who want an "easier" approach to skincare, I still prefer to recieve science-based opinions. Love you xx
It's incredible how GOOD you are Cassandra. Thanks for being on TH-cam and spreading such knowledgeable content in such a beautiful way. A truly beautiful human (butterfly ❤️)
pixi beauty is definitely a hit or miss brand. thank you for the informative post! i love your vids❤️
CASSANDRA! ANALYZE AND DO COSRX!!!
Yes I would love to see that too 🙏🏼
omg yesss
Yassss!
Dr vanita rattan, dermatologist did a good review of cosrx. Shes also a cosmetic formulator and amazing like cassandra and has very high standards for skin care. 💜
I spat out my cereal when she talked about the manager and the 60% cut
Right? I need details! That's horrible.
Thank you for addressing the NaOH matter. The dose makes the poison. Cosmetic formulations are extremely complex and it's hard to just look at the label and say "this product is bad because it contains X" because of the multiple interactions between the components and because you don't know the exact amount that was put into the formulation. We need more people like you, who doesn't approach skincare on an all-or-nothing perspective. Your content is incredible!
I love you and Hyram so much, and please keep sharing the science behind skincare. As a nurse trying to figure out how to take care of her skin i appreciate your info SO MUCH
I have learned more "applied chem" from studying skincare than from school :p Great informative video as always Cassandra! And, good on you for setting your boundaries with that manager!
Can you make a video about cetaphil? Like the one you did on neutrogena
I’ve been using some of their products. And i wanna hear your opinion about the brand.
By the way
Thanks to you, hyram and dr dray
I learned a lot about skincare.
Cetaphil cleanser can cause fungal acne. I stopped using it after i checked its ingredients on sezia.co . Use Cerave instead
And cereve
One of the cetaphil cleansers that I've tried has a strong fragrance. It's almost as if they poured perfume inside of it. It's not sensitive skin friendly
Also they animal test
Carave is lovely, simple but effective.
I looove the ups and downs of this video! I just found myself nodding my head in agreement the whole time. Riveting content!
i've binge watching skincare videos,and i've been learning soo much, soo i have decided to save money and call for my first dermatology query, thank u to Cassandra for opening my eyes and see that i have skin problems 😭❤
I really love cassandra’s videos. Very informative❤️
I love pixie beauty. Their face wash is a game changer for my skin. I’ve bought extremely expensive cleansers and this is by far the best for my skin. Forever a pixie client
I'm so happy you post these types of videos. They are so helpful!
Thank you for sharing the bit about the contract. It's refreshing to get an inside look in how brands interact with influencers!
I at 12 p.m at night wanted entertainment and of course, Cassandra comes through and love the humor. meow meow meow😻😻😻😻
@@vincentlemay634 right
12 pm is mid day. 12 am is at night
@@waxon7109 oh thx 😳
2am now;) i know what you mean LOL
Me: Fellow gay? Cassandra:”If I wasn’t a lesbian” Me: FELLOW GAY
M’lady.. I’ve been watching you for years and I’m still learning from you! Thank you for sharing this video with us. 🥰
I am really loving the way that you dig into actual general chemistry to explain how chemicals aren’t as horrifying as people think (in skincare and makeup). I have been enjoying your videos for about a whole hour or more!
I HAD NO CLUE YOU WERE A LESBIAN! That makes me so so happy. You're flipping amazing, Cassandra 💕😊
What a strange thing to say. Why would her sexual orientation have any influence on your mood?
My Sister makes soap. She uses lye, she explained the "saponification" process. Really neat!
This is such a very informative and educational video! :) I have been following you for years since I got severe acne and I am so happy that I have achieved clear skin now. You have given me inspiration and the things I need to know about our beloved skin. Stay safe!!!!
You’re skin has came a long way !!!! BEAUTIFUL congratulations !
Damn the sodium hydroxide part of this video was so informative!
Could u do a video on the whole Naturium scandal! We need to know the ethical or lack there of that was involved in the fiasco. U provide the right info.
Somehow I don't think this is going to happen, as Cassandra has been leaving positive comments on Susan's channel.
I take this as Cassandra expressing support for Susan.
Not sure how a video about the Naturium launch would fit into this?
Whats the story bout that ?
you are just great! your work is fantastic! always keep us informed about the stuff that goes on behind the scenes in the beauty industry
That Tinkerbell reference is so true! I feel that way as well!
Love the Overnight Glow Tonic! If you can, will you look into Bioclarity? Would love to hear your thoughts and review of the skincare line!
Where I’m from pixi is sold in Sephora :0
Same XD and not cheap...
Samew
Funny thing that you brought this up, Cassandra! Speaking of the Pixi bit, I think I discovered them at Superdrug in London and I too was attracted to their minimalist nature vibe packaging and I am super obsessed with not having plastics in my skincare since I struggle with acne and super sensitive combination skin. I remember explicitly not buying from the pixi rack when I realized that their are really not tht "all natural" as they seem and also probably not even completely cruelty free. That's what I thought at the time and because of that I never tried them, so it's quite funny to see this video now after 4 years.
BTW, love your channel and I feel blessed to have found you on TH-cam, you're awesome and I love how you can recognize your own biases and change things whilst getting informed.
I love seeing u talk about chemicals and their mechanism, so much so that the necklace you're wearing looks like a hexane ring. AND LET ME TELL YOU, I AM HERE FOR IT!!!!
I gotta say, you always add pretty darn good graphics for your explanations. One must appreciate them.
That Felix guy looks like a Hollywood actor ... He's so hot ... Hahahahahha
Swedish guys are 🤘🏼
She is so well spoken like I live for her videos
I really appreciate that you and Hyram brought this up because nobody is talking about sodium hydroxide. I took the products that contain sodium hydroxide out of my skin care routine since I discovered that it was the ingredient that was causing irritation (red patches) on my skin especially near my eye area. I think what happens is because that we layer so many skin care products and sodium hydroxide is in a lot of things (cleansers, toners, serums, moisturizers, spfs), I think we sometimes end up accumulating a lot more of it on our faces than the individual product formulations accounted for. I haven't been getting the red marks since I took the products that contain this ingredient out. Maybe my skin was just being sensitive I don't know 🤷♀️ I wonder if other people experienced this too
Can you talk about chemical peels that estheticians do??
When you were talking about the lye i couldnt stop thinking about royalty soaps lol! 🥰❤️ ive noticed a huge difference in my skin since i started using cold process bar soaps instead of the cream body wash from dove. ❤️❤️
Thank you so much for this series. I don't have ant suggestions for other brands/lines to dig into. But I promise I'll whatch every one that you upload. Your a class-act Cass
Skincare TH-cam community is the best! I love it
I'm a licensed Esthetician and I LOVE LOVE LOVEEEE the research that you put into your videos with products and specific ingredients !
Im just gonna come out and say it...your youtube game is so strong you literally don't leave other influencers a chance. Honestly no one is up to par. I now come to this website solely because of you, or to listen to music.
I just wanted to say thanks for allowing us into your FB group...it’s already helped me so so much. Girl, I’m grateful! So grateful 🥺🌻
Omg! What an amazing insightful video, Cassandra!! Well done, bravo!
Cass I remember your coming out video because it was very influential to me. I had recently started dating my first girlfriend. And to see how far you’ve come with your label and how comfortable you are with it is such a beautiful thing.
Actually, you can find it in Sephora in the Czech republic. It's only there except of some online stores. Personally, I consider it on the pricier side.
Tbh, I prefer your perspective because you come from a medical aesthetician and formulation view. Which is what partly guides decision 😁🖤
So glad TH-cam recommended you. Informative and helpful - thanks!!
“If I wasn’t a lesbian”..... you learn something new everyday! YAAASS MAMA!!
Your review was soooo neutral and I appreciate that so much! As nowadays people just wanna tear a brand apart rather then telling the consumer the good and bad..
Love you, keep growing !! ♥️🙌🏽
i just love you so much. i've watched all of your stuff even though most of the products you talk about are not available in my country, which is brazil! you still teach me a lot about ingredients and i am so grateful for you. thank you 💖🌈
Great video! As a pixi fan myself, I had no idea about some of the things you mentioned. Would love it if you would look into the MONAT skincare line!
What do you suggest to use or start introducing in your skincare routine for someone in her early 20s? Love you so much ❤️
Cleanse, moisturise and SPF is everything for early 20s I say! If you have no skin concerns that is.
You are such a great combination of medical knowledge and approachable language, which is so rare on TH-cam. It’s obvious you’ve done research and aren’t just regurgitating the same info each video. Also had no idea you were a lesbian but makes me love a fellow gay woman even more haha ❤️
I am loving this series. Can't wait for all the other ones to come. If there are any of course.
Sweetie I swoon over you and I am straight 🥰😘 . Your reviews are the best among all. Thank God you exist in the TH-cam community, you are an oasis in the desert, sister . Sending so much love and hugs from Athens.
Love these videos ✨ would like to see one about REN Skincare 🙏🏼
Same!! Especially if the ingredients justify the price 🙊
Lowkey Felix a snacc. And I can understand people questioning why there is a man behind a business trying to empower women, but who DOESN'T want a guy who wants to lift up other women??
Thanks you for this. i sat down with my mom and we talk together on why i have been changing my skin care routine. She was really upset when i started teaching my four year son some of the same things i been learning on any of this channels and how i went back to a Doctor to treat the new skin issues after giving birth to my son four years ago.
Can you dive into some of the MLM brands like Arbonne and Beauty Counter? I’m curious on their efficacy and ingredients!
I’d LOVEEEE if you did the truth about dermalogica! 🤭
I’m new to your channel and I’m so glad I’ve discovered you! That double cleanser is a game changer! I have dry skin and it has been so hard to find a cleanser that will remove all of my makeup, but also not strip my skin. Thank you thank you thank you for introducing me to this product!
Which cleanser?
Love youre honesty!!!!!!!!!!!😍😍😍 i am folowing you for years now. I have a acne skin and it is soo hard to find something that works
I gravitate toward Pixi every time I’m in Target, but still haven’t made a purchase due to all the fragrance ingredients. My skin is definitely NOT resilient. I would like to try their double cleanse and their eye patches.
Out of all the “influencers” out there the only ones I trust is Dr Drey. Susan Yara and the rest of them just hype products up without any credentials to back up their claims. Like you said, some fragrance can be beneficial when it comes to formulations, but the way other influencers make it out as if it’s the devil. People need to take what influencers are saying with a grain of salt since most of them are being pampered by these companies for a positive review. I rather listen to someone with a medical degree.
Susan Yara’s been facing a lot of backlash lately 😬 I’m gonna stick with Hyram and Dr Dray for now!
I think we can stop labelling people for one mistake n give them a chance. One chance is not a lot to ask for when that person has given great content n good information for years. I know people feel being cheated on and she did lie about her association but her reviews are not entirely dishonest.the brand is really n nice brand n I know quite a few who seem to have benefitted from that.
Same! I laughed so hard about Hyram and NaOH, he don’t understand anything about chemistry, but talks like he studied everything xD
Then you missed out on Caroline Hirons! There is no nonsense there and her new book or her blog!!
Susan Yara is a sales woman. She is constantly promoting sponsored products that contain ingredients she actively speaks against (fragrance, SD alcohol, etc). Not to say she isn’t intelligent, I actually think the contrary, but I do believe her opinions need to be taken with a grain of salt because of this.
Cassandra I love you! Thanks for your videos and sharing you knowledge. ❤❤
I tuned in for skincare, I got Ask a Mortician. And I am here for it!
The glow tonic broke me out, but I swear by the rose tonic.
Would love for you to review Jessica Alba’s honest line! Thank you!
Thank you for being such a beacon of light 🌞
Thank you soooo much for clarifying this. I have been searching for more reviews about Pixi Glow Tonic because I am a huge follower of Hyram and he does not approve of it because of the Sodium Hydroxide that is on the ingredient list. But for some reason, I really can't let go of the product because it has given nothing but amazing results on my face - that natural glow is undeniable that even others have noticed it. Now I can sleep at night after watching this video. Lol!
The girl you’re describing that gets drunk on the weekend reminds me of Michaela or Laurel from How to Get Away with Murder 🤣
Lmaoooo
Please do the inkey list, I am really curious about them, thanks.
There a really good brand skin care by hyram loves the brand
She has. Look at her videos list.
love from italy ❤️ i’m learning so much with you guys. fun fact, in italy is actually sold in sephora since we do not have a ‘target’.
OMG, your brought back your old outro again!!
Thanks.
I love it!
Could you review Body Shop please?
Some products contain fragrance or alcohol, and say their products are natura, so it will be great to see your views.
How do you feel about mineral makeup?is it what it advertised?
