Does anyone else feel like that with all the information available on the internet (and good old libraries) such gross misinformation is not justified anymore? Cause honestly it is starting to bug me real bad
Seriously though. Someone says all this misinformation without any proof and people just believe it, like that! Are people just that gullible on top of lacking common sense nowadays?
People are too lazy to do their own research 🤷🤷
of course people will believe what other tell them if they say things they want to hear... i am fat and looking to lose weight i'm gonna stumble on a video saying drink lemon water this will cure everything you don't need to diet or do sport well you are gonna try it cause it's easy same goes for other things and yes people do not take time to do their research because most of the time they will probably not find the correct information straight away doing a google search and it takes time to actually understand it...
Many people who put such posts on social media did do some form of research. I would argue that the problem is that there's too much information online.
Finding good info takes time, and often those texts are not written in very easy language, maybe look boring etc. Instead the first few options in online search are usually colourful, magazine layout type of texts which are much more appealing. Then there's also confirmation bias. When there's a lot of info available, some of it will align more with your views, so it will be easier to find "evidence" which supports your opinion.
@@Black.Spades there's a lot of information, not too much. And you might even argue there's too much, but at the same time it's not hard to see which sources are trustworthy or not. Even if you don't trust derms in yt you can look up the info on trusted and verified scientific sources. The real problem is when people with no medical training whatsoever think they're smarter than people who have studied medicine for a decade if not more
It's so insane how people will literally say anything on tiktok and they'll get an audience. People are getting too damn bold.
And audiences are getting too damn gullible. Things ppl will believe today, or manipulation tactics they will fall for...I can’t believe it.
That's why I do random makeup, dancing and singing videos
@@cristi4n.anderson Yep, and that's why I don't follow too much of the makeup trends or beauty trends.
I think a huge problem is that people confuse googling something with doing research lmao
Yes, and googling is like just one source and that's it while, reasearch is finding many sources to support the claim.
Precisely. School literally teaches you to cross reference sources so i dont understand why people are just googling one thing and simply draw a conclusion its bad. Thats bascially how fear mongers spread
The problem is, in order to be able to use Google optimally, you need at least a good general knowledge, better still, you already have specialist knowledge in many areas in order to be able to classify the information you are looking for. Smart people can do smart things on the internet. Stupid people just only stupid things. If you don't know anything yourself, you have to believe everything. This is how fake news emerges and goes viral without any reflection. You can't just say I don't need to learn anything, I can google it. This is bullshit. You have to do extensive research, must read articles or studies ect. Therefore ... education is and will remain important!
I agree. There's definitely a big difference between googling some skin care ingredients and looking up the definitions vs actual research. I Google a lot of things, because I'm a very curious person, that doesn't mean I'm a researcher or an expert and can teach other people lol. I Google the etymology of many words ( I just find language to be very interesting) but I am not a language expert or an etymologist. Lol. Sorry this reply is so long lol.
They also forget that sources matter
These channels/creators really know how to target our insecurities and create fake facts based on it. And they know they will get ALOT of clicks for it. 🙄
People need to stop ✋telling these lies .
True! This is exactly why they do it!
“Tiktok is a cesspool” should of been a complete statement
Right? Stop the video there and roll credits!
My skin has improved a lot because of you
Same thank u soooo much
Rtt
"I have a pimple on my left cheek. I must have heart failure" hearing this as a med student made me laugh for like a minute straight. Thank you for the serotonin boost Cassandra!
Just a friendly FIY, Diuretic does not mean it induces diarrea, it means it induces the production of urine or in other words makes you want to pee :)
Exactly.
Exactly, diuretic doesn't mean diarrhoea! And this types of tea, are actually really good. I I used to drink them a lot (I cannot drink green tea, or English tea), because I literally have to run to the bathroom in 30 seconds, but with the other, no.
Both of those teas are actually quite nutritious. I love them. :)
Cassandra didn't imply that "diuretic" means "induces diarrhea." Ginger and dandelion teas can be laxatives by increasing water in stool. People do use them to relieve their constipation. She's not wrong to jokingly call them diarrhea tea.
TikTok is a WILD place 😅😅😅
collab tease👀
HIIIIII
TikTok is a household kitten compared to the lion that is Twitter 🤢 oh god..
And very racist
We need you to help Cass love her curls!!!!
I love seeing Cassandra shit on misinformation and ignorance. ❤️
Same!
In a nutshell.
i deleted tik tok because it's so addicting but so stupid😭 i love how real your reactions are 🦋
“partially trash” is the best descrption for TikTok I’ve heard so far. Some people are just through the roof brilliant and creative and skilled while others… well …
Every single human desperately needs to know the definitions of a few different things:
1.) Correlation doesn't equal causation
2.) Mutual exclusivity
3.) Confirmation Bias
4.) Belief-Perseverance
The world would be a better place.
I love how passionate and upset she gets and how she just mic-drops after completely obliterating everything these people believe 😂 btw I love you channel, you are amazing!!
I appreciate you breaking down “myths” and the actual reasoning!! I feel like we are constantly getting product overload-that I confuse myself.
Example: bought CereVe tinted sunscreen bc I remember it recommended (don’t know where)… too bad I realized it just burns my eyes
Basically all skincare products burns my eyes. Even the ones I only use on my cheeks, chin and mouth area. It must be the fumes as I can’t find reasons for it otherwise.
Stop putting it in your eyes?
@@KrisD007 thanks. I mean sweating happens but I’ll just stay inside to not sweat… but why sunscreen then? 🤷♀️
@@alirae3663 I live in the AZ desert. I do not go out in the summer. It’s 125 out. Some people wear sunscreen inside bc they think the lights change their skin also. I don’t like to wear sunscreen so I don’t wear inside.
The cereve sun stick might work better around your eyes. It has a thicker texture, so I feel like it doesn't run into my eyes when I sweat. It does have a bit of a white cast, but that also kinda brightens up the eye area lol
The eye twitch when you heard EWG 🤣🤣
Yeah same
Kidney-disease sufferer over here.. I started drinking nettle tea because it was said it has positive effects on your kidneys and makes you pee a lot (which is good for me). I actually love the taste of it and miss it when I don't have my daily cup XD
My skin always crawls whenever the EWG is mentioned.
Why? They help you to make informed decisions about which chemicals to stay away from. Some of those are really toxic.
@@jg1709 they cherry pick data
As someone with severe nodular acne, taking isotretinoin by the way, it is very difficult to see all these people literally bullshitting other people. AND WHAT MAKES ME MORE MAD, IS THAT PEOPLE ACTUALLY want to buy it.
I have acne-prone skin and throughout my adolescence I used to believe and use a lot of the things that were mentioned in the video. I am sooo grateful to Cassandra because she really played a huge role on me fixing my skin and being educated.
2 years of being a butterfly and my skin & my wallet are so much happier.🧡
Thank you so much!
He said that dandelion is a *diuretic* which means it increases frequency of urination. There is a legitimate study to back this claim up (but the study has nothing to do with skin conditions)
…He didn’t say it was “diarrhea tea” lol.
Yeah I was getting annoyed because herbs can have diuretic effects. Like... black tea... which is a plant... which contains caffeine... which is a known diuretic. I get so frustrated when influencers swing the other way and deny that herbs can have any medicinal properties.
Lol same, I was so confused as to where she got the "diarrhea" part 😂
@@ayeshaali-yn4sk I agree. Plus, aside from the fact that tea leaves are diuretics themselves, a lot of herbal components added to tea blends also have some kind of diuretic effect, even when it's not intended or marketed as a "detox tea".
I can't stand the green tea stick thing with the chia seeds!!! It keeps popping up everywhere! It's so annoying. Seriously, who believes it?
Tik Tokers-No idea how chemistry works. No idea how to spell chemical formula.
Tik Tokers- I don't know what the F- is this, but it's going to give me Cancer. I did research on ✨Internet✨
This the one lol
Tik Tokers- *Did only one research and then "That shall do."
Thank God I never used Tik Tok, missed my fav Artists' work but left out Misinformed Skincare and Diet Advices 😊
"Diuretic" means it'll make you urinate more, not that you'll have diarrhoea.
Gosh it was hard to live with acne in the early 2000s.
I think we should leave home made remedies for acne in the past together with the fear mongering around certain ingredients in skincare. And let's not forget that there's a correlation between diet and acne. Learning what foods I have a sensitivity to helped me a lot in clearing up my skin. Something that lemon juice, baking soda and other fruit masks never managed to do.
“ I have a pimple on my cheek must mean I have heart failure.” 😂
“Retinol causes skin cancer”
me who has just gotten their dose upped and forgot to put on sunscreen before going for a walk : “duh”
🤣🤣🤣
I am SO happy that a dental hygienist that works in the same building as me had listened to my advise and instead of bringing her teenage daughter regularly to the lab that I work at to get microbiological cultures of her acne tested AND stuff her with antibiotics actually made her change her diet, took her to a good facial and bought her good skincare products. Every time we meet she says how good her daughter’s skin looks and how grateful she is.
I get addicted to watching these “skincare” videos on TikTok… not coz I wana try them but coz I am astounded at just how awful and potentially harmful they can be and also the fact that they are utterly ridiculous… some make me cringe, some make me laugh and some straight up make me feel like a little part of my soul just died 😱😱
As a 12 year old I’m learning MORE and MORE about skincare from your videos
Crazy cat lady? 😆...total respect to ya! 🙌🤎
I find it so funny that some of the retinol stuff was essentially "if you dont listen to your derm/medical esthetician, you will experience these side effects." My derm was super clear that I need to take it s l o w with retinol, wear sunscreen because it makes you photosensitive, and, like you said, the dose makes the poison. I've taken epuris, tactupump and other benzoyl peroxide products, and now on an antibiotic and no professional has ever told me any of the crap on tik tok!!
The best thing I love about you is you teach others what you've learned and you're not afraid to change your opinion. THAT'S A GREAT THING and it makes you an exceptional human being
Cass, dear, I feel you. Welcome to "Biology student VS """Organic""" believers"
Those videos like the one in the thumbnail -- wiping off "acne" with chia seeds and horrible filters -- are just sad. Not only is it not at all believable, but the comments under the videos are filled with people thinking it's legit and dreaming of getting the product. How can we reach people who fall for those scams? Stuff like that has to be illegal, for misleading or false claims, right? So how can they be kept in regular, highly visible rotation?
I have been watching TikTok for only a couple of months now & I have been shocked at all the misinformation & straight up ignorant skincare “hacks” on there. Please do more of these videos, Cass🦋Lots of love on this Tuesday❤️💋
I love your content! I appreciate your scientific, evidence-based approach to skin care.
im a bit skincare nerd and follow all the legit proper derms and aestheticians but i genuinely didnt realise that the acne mapping thing was wrong. it was actually a shock for me to see it pop up here and it makes sense now that she explains it too. (ps, when i meant acne mapping i dont mean i thought the organ stuff was correct, just the stuff like "oh jawline acne? thats hormones" stuff)
Once I started learning about skincare, my face improved along with going to a dermatologist. Misinformation is dangerous.
They're really good at presenting their "facts" in a way that makes perfect sense. I too, fell for some of the detox and natural vs chemical height until one day it hit me that water is a chemical and that, as a student, I constantly heard about validating data, checking sources, etc. What was I doing assuming these articles were actually providing accurate information or interpreting data correctly? I'm still ashamed to this day. EWG is especially good at seeming a savvy, reliable organization that's also legit.
I uninstalled tiktok like last week and tell me why I had the MOST productive day. Anyway, That app is fricken addicting, and yes, I did notice the misinformation regarding skin care. An example, using glycolic acid beneath the underarms on a daily basis. This is eventually gonna cause redness (rubbing skin), not a good idea but it still went viral 🥴
Using glycolic acid as deodorant is even recommended by The Ordinary. It's not going to cause redness if you use a small amount once a day and of course do a patch test beforehand.
I also drifted away from tiktok and other social medias like twitter since they are so toxic bc of the ppl on there (creators and viewers/stupid commentors).
@@martyler48 I wonder why should we be using a tiny molecule such as glycolic acid, though. Maybe there's a detail I'm missing, but if the goal is simply to create a more acidic environment, why not just buy citric acid which is a much larger molecule that's less likely to cause irritation on a daily use?
I Have nettle tea all the time! its packed full of nutrients and doesn't have side effects for me ,it gives me energy actually
Love you and your videos Cassandra! ❤️ I’m an RN who is going back to graduate school to become a nurse practitioner and hope to specialize in dermatology!
That is why you shouldn’t be listening to random people on TikTok
Wait til these people look up what salt is made up off
I remember hearing that dandelion tea cured acne when I was younger so I drank it every day for a couple weeks leading up to an event I was attending hoping it would clear my skin. I ended up at the doctor's office because I had over 80 bruises on my legs. Just like you said, you don't know what's in them and you never know how you'll react.
Loved your reactions lol Hard to stay calm when they present such BS as if they know what they are talking about when they clearly don't.
Yeeeees I've always said this about the app. Soooo much misinformation on so many levels. I'm glad there are people like you calling it out. Thank you.
Last night I saw this guy showing his skincare routine, but the first thing he did was rubbing his hands with alcohol sanitizer gel then he applied his skincare.. I don't think that's safe?
Master Esthetician in WA here. Its safe, I do it when I reapply my sunscreen. Just make sure it's fully absorbed.
@@shelbyschroder4140 oh thank you for your confirmation☺. I am concerned because I have sensitive skin, so seeing he did that kinda scares me😂
My friend in highschool used to rub hand sanitizer on her face to get rid of pimples. Didnt work
And for the love of the universe, please do NOT rely on a tea regarding STDs.
God this misinformation makes me so mad. They have no qualifications to say what they do. So irresponsible 🤬
My skin has improved so much because of you, hyram and the derms from doctorly I think ones name is Dr. Shaw? But you guys are doing such a good job at spreading good information. My acne has improved so much and I now have a better understanding of my skin and can easily spot misinformation and scams. I now use sunscreen literally every day and actually have a routine. So just thank you so much I really appreciate your channel.
Cassandra, I am really grateful that you are a living being in this world. Me and my skin can't thank you enough. You are amazing ❤
Thank you for doing this 😊❤️ You and a few doctors on YT have calmed me down so much from A LOT of misinformation I used to believe. 🤦🏼♀️😌
This is such a long shot but could you possibly do a video on good products to take with you if you're camping or backpacking? Things that are generally safe with using directly in nature. Can't imagine a lot of conventional ingredients can be good for wildlife
4:22 I like how her "research" is looking up one non-scientific article that was probably written by a non-expert writer trying to reach an article deadline.
Actually, I cured my acne by unclogging my guts. 🤷🏻♀️ I have lazy guts and slow digestion that leads to clogging and food buildup. The food is sometimes the culprit,I mean in my case my guts were 'dirty' and causing me so much problems with skin and whole body. And yeah, specific tea when combined with fiber and plant fats can just unclog your guts, you will sit on toilet for days. This happened to me, my skin is now wow. Also for someone who has hormonal acne, face mapping is true. I have cystic acne on my jawline. Not everything is pseudo science.
3:30 XD omg so funny.. thank you so much for reviewing this spam advertising! Bless you
Let’s not ignore the fact that she’s beautiful
nobody cares dumb bot we already know she’s gorgeous
Why do I have the urge to flip a table each time the new tiktok videos play especially the retinol one 😩. Oh btw if you want to create “scientific” based content please give us the receipt. Just as cassandra said, these type of misinformation can cause more harm than good to a lot of people.
You really feel like my big cyster. I've been following you since the beginning and all the skincare I own is because of you. I can handle my skin pretty well at the moment, since I don't go to the skin therapist anymore (bc of the money). Thanks for your information and knowledge
I admit I was one of those people that were taken in by DIYs and bad filters, but I am reformed and I have a morning and night skincare routine, including sunscreen. Definitely sharing your channel to friends.
I saw an ad on Facebook that sold something that REMOVED pores!! It was one of the poppyseed in cream looking ones and was so obviously photoshopped
I swear I’m disliking Tiktok each day more. also it is the best platform for predators not very safe for children
The only reason to drink tea is if you like it :) Nettle may help absord iron, but I haven't found any study supporting this. Absolutely nothing to do with acne
Thanks to you I have found a great skin care routine that has finally cleared up my skin. I've struggled with acne and am 32 and I finally have real relief! Thanks for your quality suggestions.
While watching this, I literally got a Green Mask Stick ad. 😂
I overall have clear skin, but when allergy hits hard, i got breakouts under my jaw line, towards ears. I was pretty suprised when it was not mention in this "informational video", cause this would be really helpful for many people 😅. This is how I firt got to know that I am allergic. So happy I do not use this trash bin called Tik Tok 😅.
omg when allergy hits me the worst i get red skin allergy spots sometimes. Hadn't heard about breakouts. I just get breakouts around my nose from having to blow my nose so much
@@BelgianBisous I think it is not very common. I got it when I am too long around animals that I am allergic to. My sister gets it after eating gluten. It has something to do with work of your immune system in limfatic glands under your jaw I guess.
I feel like as our society begins to progress, obviously things get easier. That also makes research seem “easier” i think the difference of research and googling something is starting to bind together and therefore makes misinformation more likely to get out. Not only should you be finding multiple websites to support this one claim you make, these websites need to be actually reliable and not just something off of a .com website not saying all .com websites hold misinfo, but the info is most likely to be backed up by different factors whether certain doctors or whatever is profession would be relevant to back those things up in something like a .org. This is some info I memorized since elementary school and while there is a pro-con factor to basically everything ever beyond the internet, you’re gonna have the better amount of luck with websites like that and just exploring and then looking into the specifics the website used even if it doesn’t seem reliable.
I love how the ads for that roll on blackhead mask show one of the girls with a bunch of freckles and then she wipes it off and not only are her "blackheads" on the towel but her freckles are gone too. If this mask could instantly remove pigment like that it would be better than hq.
I am glad tiktoc is banned in my country, otherwise who knows how many of these trends I would have tried and damaged my skin.
Love your channel. As an esthetician I learn so much! Love how researched you channel is. Thanks for for the hard work!
Im a Nurse.. and Im with you Cassandra! skin care needs to have a sciencific back up too.. 😌
drinking aspartame is much worse than a skin product! aspartame builds up in your body quickly and makes me feel drained so I try and avoid it as much as I can, but sometimes I have a diet coke now and again lol
How is a real way to get rid of acne scars (red ones)??
I’m glad I’m not involved in the cesspool that is TikTok.
People use multiple products and we dont really know what happens when we layer products with the same ingredient that can be harmful in higher doses,so that's a thing to think about
Love your face reacting to these tik toks, thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us, very appreciated
Congrats on 1.5 mil Cassandra! You deserve it 💚❤️
People think they can substitute weeks, months, years and years of work of people who are qualified with 60 seconds long explanations
These ads are infuriating. Also I keep seeing them using clips of people reviewing them and SHOWING how the company faked it in their advertisement.
The company literally takes the clip of people showing how to fake it and claims it’s how their product works.
😡😡😡
Thanks for all you do. I’ve been a subscriber for years and I can say that my skin has gotten better since I started following some of your recommendations. 😍
Cassaandraaa! We need moooore of your reaactionss🤗🤗
3:22 thank you for reacting to this, the way their showing it, 1 step fix. I doubt even in 100 uses it will be like this. You cant just wipe to perfect skin. I really wish that commercial gets taken down
I love watching tic tok but the dyi bs and the fake skincare stuff just entertains me tbh and I never believe any of it. Just like I always see that green stick thing that magically wipe away pores and gives u blurry filtered-like photoshop skin smh.
Cassandra, you are amazing!!! Iam learning so much from your videos!!! And becoming a skincare lover!!! 🙏🏻😁🤩❤️
Man,,,,one of my closest friends (who also suffers from really bad anxiety) is currently having a crisis over things she’s read on the internet that are backed up by EWG and nothing I say to her can change her mind. The most recent thing is throwing out everything in her house that’s plastic. It breaks my heart to see her suffering and how fearful she is over misinformation from the internet, mom groups and sources like EWG. Like, I seriously had to delete my mom group app after I had my daughter because every day there was something new everyone was freaking tf out about. 🤦🏻♀️
There is nothing better than someone smart roasting people on tiktok
omg i cringe so hard when i see "dangerous chemicals" -____-
also the word "detox" arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
I'm always in a lot of "Fights" and Discussions with totally misinformated People! 😠😭😡👊
Same around the COVID Problem! Oh nooo, how can it be that adult People doesn't believe the Scientists?
I will never understand this! 😭😫😏
Thank you for calling this shit out!!!
I prefer to use more natural skin products, not because the ones that have "chemical ingredients" are going to kill me, but because my skin is very very sensitive to some of their products and I do not know to how many of them it is, so, I prefer natural brands because I know that they are not going to cause me any episode of allergy; everyone is free to choose what they consider is better for their skin, that is for sure.
It would please my evil little heart if you actually go onto Tik tok and call them out Cassandra and make a video doing it!
Just as someone that used sulfur to rid my acne… there are so many good sulfur masks out there that can help you spot treat breakouts!! But 99.9% sulfur def isn’t one of them
That's the problem with these platforms for sure. There isn't quality control so you have to be sort of educated to pick who to be educated by lol
7:29 that woman Reaally pissed me of for some some reason 😀. Especially when she said "EWG" and "Natural and safe" alternatives
Hi Cassandra. Could you possibly do a video on how you got into your career before TH-cam? Sorry if you already did so but whenever you mention medical aesthetician, I get so curious. Thanks!
spiritual aura healing always helps me for minor ailments
Please don’t hate on me but drinking apple cider vinegar really helped me with my rosacea 🙈
