🛑Holy crap, I am so glad you have that skin diagram thing. I feel like my entire life I’ve been living a lie after watching this video. Thank you so freaking much for educating me. This explains why I have chemical burns, I’m using too many acids mixed with chemical exfoliants and harsh bead exfoliants at the same time! My dumb butt stinks that when I get one or two pimples that I need to go to the store and literally buy every single acne spot treatment product there is and try all of them in one day and then I end up with a chemical burn. . Also I have a question, my skin was great through my teen years in early 20s I am now 33 and starting to get very weird acne not only on my face but my scalp as well, it’s like my water retention has slow down or some thing. Can you help with that? Thank you
I had a similar problem... Until a girl in a shop suggested me to cut sugar and dairy... It worked like magic! Its been 10 years since then and I never had to use a product again. Now I only get pimples (really bad cysts like the ones I used to have) when I eat sweets several days in a row.
you should use azelaic acid instead of multiple applications of exfoliating acids
@@anja6548 yes this or a chemical exfoliant in a cleanser or a separate method use the chemical exfoliant 2-3 times a week and search and do not layer them up!
@@jacks4705 Not for me, I've done literally all of this and now after a 3 month course of antibiotics, I am now on oral accutane, hopefully this will clear up my skin - perioral dermatitis and adult acne :(
Visit the dermatologist. Acne is caused by bacteria and hormones not dirt or oil or food or even cupcakes.
I love how you don't "demonize" wrinkles. Actually, it's healthier for our minds not to do so. We can't fight aging process but we can grow older in a better and smoother way. Don't be afraid of wrinkles, people. Let's make them look better. Nice tips. Thank you!
So true the only ugly wrinkles are from looking sour , so love yourself and get those smile lines!
Or… get some Botox. My mind loves my wrinkle-free forehead!
Fighting aging is trying to catch the wind with your fingers. I wish my wrinkles were not so noticeable but I know that growing older is a privilege many of us do not get to do. I've lost several friends , one was beat to death by her husband and another died at 32 from cancer. Every day we get is a gift. The grey hair and the wrinkles are just part of the process. I just laugh and be myself.
@@Littlewildone0 I’d rather die early than be unattractive.. JMO of course. Some people find life worth living at any age. Not me though. I was done with it at 35.
@@kateg1570 I hope not honey. I's a beautiful world out there and loads to explore and learn. My grand ma used to tell me Pretty is as pretty does. If you have an ugly heart no amount of physical beauty will make up for that. Amber Heard comes to mind :)
People love to hate on something, Cassandra just said you need to be mindful of what you use and don't overdo it. She literally praised retinols in this clip. Don 't stop using retinols or BHAs, they are good, tested ingredients. Use them wisely. Going to "natural" or replacing retinols with oils is not what she meant
The problem is the fear mongering click bait video title ...
@@jildergarcia2539 tru, but people really need to listen and discern
Hello Cassandra thank you so much for this video. Companies don't really care about the costumer they care about their profits and their shareholders. Some companies do create amazing products but there will always be someone that gets a reaction or the products do not work for them, WE CANNOT HAVE A MIRACLE product that works for everyone that is why there are so many companies and so many products to choose from.
This is so true. We also have many different companies bc in theory competition is what forces improvement and innovation. And who knows if that really works. Ultimately it always comes down to money no matter who you are. I wouldn’t be pessimistic sounding if more people had access to proper skincare routines and education on better self-care and ultimately proper nutrition. And while there is availability of all things to all people, they aren’t told or taught how to access it. Some end up not understanding their skin and instead spend what they have on cosmetics. Society as a whole needs a revamp on what it thinks is important in life. That’s why I love this channel. Cassandra is teaching and exposing her viewers of all ages to variety of things that truly matter when it comes to skin health and our self-identity to it.
Except for vaseline lol, and silicone (if you're not allergic which is extremely rare.) (Silicone is used for scarring, even old scars, and in the ER for wounds.) Those are the closest miracle treatments there are, but they don't have a good PR specialist lmao. Also the second is in everything still or used as a callout ingredient... even though it's literally used for burns in the ER. (It's used mainly for texture in products as dimethicone and other -cones)
Thank you!!! For saying what I've been saying for YEARS! Retinol, benzoyl peroxide & a few others really damaged my skin when I was younger and didn't know what i was doing. From careless dermatologists to bad physicians, I damaged my skin to the point I have lots of fine lines at the age of 25 from ruining my skin as a teen struggling with acne. I was caking my face with harsh ingredients and none of my doctors or derms told me to even use a moisturizer with them.... #notalldermsaregood
I totally feel your pain, I took harsh medicine to cure my acne and my doctor didn't bother to explain anything to me, after 8 years I suffer from a lot of symptoms .
@@Erraiad they like to throw some pills at you, put you in a corner, and it all goes away right? They had me on antibiotics (on top of the creams) for years and now I'm resistant and had ulcers because of it. How a derm/Dr treats you really does depend on how much money you have sadly.... if they're not making serious cash of your ass you're f*cked. Plus how long it takes to get into a derms office is crazy (6-8 months for my insurance) and you might see them 1-2 times a year. That's BS
SAME BOAT!😭I'm only 27 but my skin looks so much more aged than my 54 yr old mom simply because of poor advice from doctors throughout my teens! I was on accutane from about 15- 17. NO-ONE told me about SPF, and I was an active sports person swimming and playing tennis in harsh, sunny South Africa. The amount of sun damage is wild. Disgusting that I only learn of proper skin practices and how ill-advised I was, only much later in my twenties🙌🤦🏿♀️
@@veronicaphiri7432 not all is lost. Laser treatments, religious sunblock use going forward and retinol should help. I’m also mad that sunblock wasn’t encouraged in my family but as an adult I learned to never go in the sun and my skin is great
@@kateg1570 unfortunately laser treatments are way above my pay grade.
One of the products I absolutely love to use especially if my skin is extra sensitive or I overdid it with my retinol or an exfoliating product is the Purito Centella Unscented serum. It has centella extract, peptides, ceramides, and niacinamide. It’s found on a lot of sites and it’s affordable. It’s just something that I’ll probably always have in my routine because it’s just that good and such a lifesaver for me.
Love it too!
My skin can't do niacinamide, but in the same line they have a hydrating toner that is really great too.
I've incorporated the uncented toner into my acne tretinion routine and it works like magic! so soothing. I am skeptical about the serum, would mind sharing specfic results you got?
@@thecarmen7182 it's really really good
I started a routine where ill use a glycolic acid serum one night and then the next night i dont use an active and then the following night I use a retinol serum and then the next night is another break and its been working great for me. I also put cerave healing ointment lightly around my eyes before putting on the actives because they used to irritate around my eyes and dry them out no matter what I did. This process has done wonders in a matter of a week for me. No more irritation and acne and dark spots are healing up really nicely. I wish it was talked or taught more on learning about your skin and whats its telling you and how to care for it. If there was I’d probably have realized much faster my irritation was a damaged skin barrier and not a chemical burn or allergy. Thank you for the information you give it really makes a difference.
Oh man, thank you so much for this video! I damaged my skin barrier while using retinol and a salicylic acne wash last year. I was using the salicylic acid twice a day and the retinol intermittently. The damage showed up not too long after I quit the retinol (the retinol was causing me acne in places on my face where it usually never happens). At first I thought I was getting super dry skin. When it wasn't going away in the summer, I realized I caused some damage. After I met with a dermatologist, my skin is finally starting to recover. He told me I have sensitive skin and mild rosacea, which makes so much sense now. I've eased off on the salicylic acid, and now I'm focusing on the basics (moisturizer, sunscreen, gentle cleanser). I only cleanse my face once a day, as you've recommended.
how much did you pay for a dermatologist?
I did this combo like 2 years ago ; I got break out everywhere , my skin gets so much worse , and my skin was peeling off and red ! Ehh . It was a nightmare !!!!!!
You know, I think you're the reason that I started being interested in skincare. Even my dermatologist said that she feels like I know what I'm doing, so thank you Cass!
I am on accutane so there isn't reason for me to dry out my skin any more, and since I started really taking care of skin barrier it looks amazing, it's so smooth.
These animations are awesome! I would love to see more of them illustrating how certain ingredients work in the skin.
i love the visual representation. i’m a visual, and hands on, learner so this rly helps. thank you so much!
As a day one butterfly cyst-er, the transformation your skin has gone through is truly incredible. And as a fellow esthetician I so love your approach to educating and not making it feel pretentious
She really looks flawless, doesn't she?
You’re my new favorite! I’ve been watching beauty vids on TH-cam for like 10 years but just recently became a skintellectual lol. I like how frequent you upload
Brilliant idea to discuss this topic. No one else really frames this information in the way you have done with this video. Thank you.
This is one of my favorite videos you've done. Very informative and simplified. Thank you! ❤
I am very grateful to have found your channel. Some of the products you recommended were game changers for me. My pores are clear and my acne has improved so much, I didn't believe it was possible. Also the educational value of your videos is so high and it has helped me so much. Thank you 🙏🙏🙏
You’re skin is glowing! You look fab☺️
A protected barrier is a must for the cysters!
Love this video so much, the model and animations of what is actually happening in your skin is amazing ❤️ thank you Cassandra
This video is exactly what I’m doing right now in my skincare game!!!
I upped my use of exfoliators ( I also use G&G Agame 5 retinal and facetheory’s Azelaic acid) so, I’ve actually been slowly getting antioxidants, ceramides and fermented ingredients.
I just got the Mary&May Idebenone + Blackberry complex. It comes in an amazing serum and a cream that has 5 ceramides and niacinamide.
I use Missha time revolution fist essence as well as Dr Ceuracle Kombucha essence and Pyunkang Yul calming cream/balm and I have some Illiyoon cream and I just started looking into CCLIMGLAM Cerabiotics and Numbuzin #3 serum. Looks promising. Lol that’s just so funny you decided to do this right as I embark on this goal. Thanks for the video!!! 💕
Ooo, super nice timing! Was just about to buy my first SA product this week 😊
I've really loved rosehip seed oil, I have cystic acne and it doesn't break me out.
yes me too!!!!!!!
Your videos are always so helpful. They’ve helped me learn more about my skin and honestly a lot of what you recommend has been helping. ☺️
Cassandra! I love you! Your presentation in this video was absolutely amazing. I really enjoyed it and learned so much from it. Thank you so much for all you do to educate us and at the same time make us roar in laughter.
Thank you for this Cassandra , don't stop making videos love you💕
Definitely learned some of this through trial and error. 🙈 It was a really helpful breakdown though, thank you! 🤗
LOVE your chanel😍 you speak so fluetly, without eeee, eeeeeemmmmm, you are not only skinteletual but also very inteligent😍 listen to you is a plesure! I grew up with acne and i remember crying with you while watching "foudation routine for acne". Tkank you very much Sister! LOVE and bless for you
Thank you for alerting us to this information!!! I feel like trusting my skin and how it’s feeling/reacting is much more important than pushing through the irritation. Wow. 🤯
Wondering if there are any layering best practices while using the barrier protective and anti-oxidants while using retinoids/acids at the same time. 🧚🏼♀️✨
I really look forward to the next video. We can google the ingredients but I'd like to know the products that have them and are not irritating for a sensitive skin or for people using acids and retinoids. Good video
I just found your channel. Yes, I've been living under a rock LOL! I am in awe! You are amazing. I just saw your reaction video of your younger self 10 years ago and I'm sending you a BEAR HUG!!! 💖💖💖
Yay, I love this scientific aproach ❤️😌
I've stopped doing anything for my acne, I discovered that if I kept my skin moisturized and healthy the acne decreased. I can't use most of the stuff others use right now, and my skin was just so horribly irritated and dry from the over the counter stuff I was trying, and once I gave it up the bumps on my forehead disappeared and within a couple of weeks the pimples and cysts stopped.
I’m so happy I found your channel. It had completely changed my skincare routine. I used to think I have to use all the actives like retinol, acids, …. And my skin got irritated and red. Now I have changed it entirely. Every evening I use a retinal 0.1% cream. I know it’s rather harsh but the formulation of the product I use is amazing. It actually gave me less irritation than basic retinols. Then I use the cerave thick moisturizer at night. That’s it.
In the morning I use a niacinemide and galactomyces toner and a HA serum with sunscreen. Personally I tried the Mikey list vitamin c with egf and it rly didn’t do anything. Then I went and started with a really harsh vit C and it wrecked my skin. So if anyone has recommendations for vit c that aren’t too weak and not too strong I would love to hear them 😊
Now my skin is the best ever 😊 thanks so much ☺️☺️
You look absolutely stunnin in the thumbnail
I used to use a lot of acne products when I was in my teens, knew nothing about skincare, and I had to stop using most things because they BURNED my skin. At the time I really didn't know why that was, or if I was doing something wrong. I now know a lot more about how to care for my skin, but this is still very interesting to hear, I was completely damaging my skin barrier, and as someone who naturally has very sensitive skin... Yeah, it was not fun.
i feel this. there really wasn’t the best information out there for us to be able to make good choices for our skin back then. i used to think that if it burned and stung my skin a product was working. that if my oily skin was left dry as a bone, it was working. i tried all the home remedies you can think of too. from putting toothpaste and nail polish remover on my face, to a straight lemon 😂 skincare really has come such a long way!
@@laur83 oh my god saaame, if it stung it must have been working right? Nope, it was just really irritating out skin lmao 😅
we’ve really taken our skin to hell and back 😂
@@luchirimoya any update
@@luchirimoya same thing happened with me
Omg this style of content is awesome!!!!
This was very informative! Thank so much!
I can’t use AHAs BHAs and PHAs. Tried it consistently for months and it ruined my skin. I wish it was purging but It never stopped. Once I switched to Azaleic acid, ceramides, hyaluronic acid, and mild hyperpigmentation products like tranexamic acid, as well as low % of niacinamide and alpha Arbutin, my skin is finally calming down slowly. Once I stopped buying into trends and created a routine that allowed my skin to heal and get used to actives & mild chemical exfoliants 1-3 times a week instead of everyday, my skin was so grateful.
I love the ordinary retinol Squaline oil
Cassandra is awesome! Thank u girl!
I am learning so much from you every day, Cassandra. I am currently using a Salicylic acid wash in the PM (only washing my face at night) and I am still trying to find moisturising products that work for my skin, because my skin gets giant pimples when I try to add a moisturizing ingredient. Honestly a little frustrated with it but I am trying my best to find something that works for me
rosehip oil is SOOOOO good for my acne/rosacea skin!! Honestly it's a lifesaver :) x
Hi Cassandra! Great video! I love the way you talk about the skin. I suffer from adult acne but also dermatillomania, and I have a hard time recognizing my skin for the incredible organ that it is. On most days, it's nothing more than a source of frustration, disappointment and poor self image. But going back to the basics, learning about how it work, what it's made of, what it does for us is actually really helpful for me in fighting the urge to pick and adopting a more caring approach instead. So thank you for the efforts you put into those highly educational videos, they are truly making a difference in my life.
Love the knowledge you give to us. Thxs. 🥰
Such an INFORMATIVE and ENTHUSIASTIC piece! Thanks Cassie for having our backs! # Road to Healthy Skin#sendung love from sunny South Africa♥️♥️♥️🌼🌼🌼🌺🌺🌺🌿🌿🦄🦄
I love your videos! They are informative and educational. Watching from The Philippines.
Thank you for this very essential & informative video.
Thank you thank you thank you. My skin has been freaking the hell out thanks to my IUD and everything I have been doing to try and fight the horribly painful cystic acne I now have as an adult, has been drying out my already dry and sensitive skin. This has been such a struggle for me
Amazing video! You are truly the best!! Thank you so much!
I could've told you that! After I used ordinary's Vit C suspension serum I noticed my smile lines got WAY more larger and defined
Your best video ever! Learned so much!
Great video. Thanks!
I’m a huge fan of Krave Beauty great barrier relief, but I’m curious enough to try the Purito dermis’s sleeping pack.
If you don't already have a kid or kids. You will be one fantastic and patient mother. Love your energy and overall spirit❤
You are so sweet, thank you so much for all you do!
I hope you have a wonderful day! Stay safe!!
Wow such a great discover you are, subscribed! 😄
The video is so helpful ♥️♥️♥️
Amazing video thank you so much 🙏
MEGA RECOMMENDED: Avocado ceramide serum from Glow recipe hits the mark on all of your points. My skin never recovered from acutane (always red and reactive) even 4 years later although is less now. My skin lovvvves it.
i can honestly say ive learned more about my skin and what products work for me in the last 2 years by watching your videos ( and james welsh) than i ever learned from ANY dermatologist. I use to feel so disappointed when ever id leave a dermo appointment cause it was always the same thing they would always say, give me stuff that was too harsh for my skin and just burned it and never solved any issues. i tried so much different stuff over the years and always felt disappointed that my skin would either burn, breakout, or just never look good. I wish i found you sooner cause here i am 32 years old and finally understanding my skin, knowing what products work, which to avoid and finally feeling like my skin is no longer a burden or something i need to hide! thank you so much for doing what you do and giving us not so perfect skin peeps REAL information that we can use!
had the same experience! used to go to a derm since i was 8 (got acne very early) and they all kept prescribing me products that burned my skin (as in, it hurt a looot) and made it extra sensitive and super oily. literally astringents/exfoliators/acids. they NEVER told me to use sunscreen or moisturizer. i’m so glad i stopped going when my parents realized this was going nowhere, and found out about proper skincare routines on the internet. now my skin has drastically improved, it’s basically clear except for the old scars and a few whiteheads that come out when i eat too much sugar. cleanser/moisturizer/sunscreen is a godsend! now i also added a retinoid product for the night routine and rose water for the day routine (makes my skin less oily somehow and i spray it on after makeup) and it’s great, skin is not as oily as before.
i feel like some derms just have a partnership with brands because they just kept prescribing the same products no matter what i told them and no matter how my skin reacted to it
so glad for you that you found something that works for you, it’s never too late!!
Sorry to nitpick but do you mean James Welsh? I watch both twins and James is the one who does skincare
Derms don't teach, they deal with issue presented. C.b is teaching
@@PeaceCharmer woops! i ment james! thank you!!
@@TheFaro2011 but they didn’t deal with it in my case. they made it worse each time i went to see a derm, and i went to different ones in a span of 10 years so that’s a lot
I just luv ur skin care tips..others techniques tnq luv u 🙂
This topic recently became relevant for me. I seem to have damaged my skin barrier with some of the products I was using, in combination with mechanical abrasion from wearing a face mask for long periods of time. It gave me some sort of an eczema on my cheek which wouldn’t go away for a few months now, no matter what I tried. I decided to go on a ‘product detox’ a few days ago and only use water until it heals. My aunt recommended chamomile tea (topically), so I’ve been applying tea bags on the cheek for a few days now, and believe it or not, it looks like it is starting to heal :) From now on, ‘less is more’ for my face, and will only be using moisturiser and oils once this thing heals.
OMG same..using products and masks ..I got horrible cystic acne..now just focusing on repair after which I will tone down skincare products too :(
No cleanser?
@@ameeraasif908 any update
Hi Cassandra! Thank you for making these videos. I'm learning so much. Could you please share where you got your 3d skincare diagram?
Shea butter , Colloidal Oatmeal, ceramides all help my barrier well
Thank you sooo much for the information
I stopped using Differin because it made my skin too fragile and was causing damage, especially because I live in a very cold and windy climate.
Ty for sharing ur vast and in depth knowledge with us. It is much appreciated 🙏🏼 HugsfromNYC 🍎
i just started a prescription tretinoin and had done a lot of research, as i am a nurse. i would LOVE a video that explains how to correctly use tretinoin products and how to take care of your skin through its purging (for myself, a lot of redness and dryness in my nose and mouth area) phase and how to strengthen the skin barrier or repair it while on topical tretinoin. thank you so much, i LOVE your videos!!
I'm having the same issues😭 did your skin got better?
Building muscle uses the same concept.
Work out to break them down, give the muscles time to rest and rebuild stronger than the last time, then repeat.
What an amazing video!!!
Thank you Cassandra
I've tried retinol, AHA's and BHA's for my acne. Retinol burned my skin really badly, AHA's seem to really irritate my skin. My skin absolutely LOVES BHA's though! My salicylic acid toner is the only thing that seems to work for my acne. I guess it really depends on everyone's skin :)
What about the adapalene? Does it irritate your skin too?
Yeah retinol does nothing for me other than smell weird and bead up.
Does not play well with others on me xD.
Does anyone know can AHA+BHA toner and retinol cream TOGETHER damage the barrier my forehead is peeling (for the 1st time ever my skin is mega oily + I have redness)
@@croatiankpopfan7709 pretty sure you aren't supposed to use salicylic acid with retinol, fact check that though
Totallly overused acids on my skin last night… and I had been doing so well! 🙄❤️💛💙
retinoids are so popular on social media, and even though regarded as the holy grail, i know so many people myself included where it just did more damage than good despite being very careful. It left a permanent discoloration on my tzone, constantly oily, peeling for years. my skin looks so much better off retinoids.
Can you make a video reviewing or sharing your thoughts on the Sol De Janeiro brand please? I’d love to get your informed opinion on the brand.
I love you videos by the way! I relate to your journey and even share the same name! Stay amazing 💕☺️
Thank you for this little list ^-^
I had a few issues after my third ordinary Aha Bha Chemical peel and was totally shocked x.x But the Pacifica ceremide cream, peptides and the beloved Ordinary pycnogenol helped me getting through this!
(It was a small dry patch on my cheek... but I was like: OM*G!!!!)
When I first saw the title, I was like oh no! Haha but this makes a lot of sense now! I've learned so much from this channel! 💙

Hello Cassandra🦋
Could you be interested in looking at and review some of the scandinavian brands?🤞🏼 As example: Lernberger-Stafsing, eCooking, Verso? .. and maybe big brands as Oskia or Filorga? I love your content! Hugs from rainy little Denmark.
Hey! I forget if you have a video on why the sun is bad for our skin? I get many confusing messages about it…it’s naturally good for the skin? Yet, it’s not? Only 15 minutes of sunlight? Need more clarification please😭. I’ve been watching your channel for years. You’ve helped empower me so much!! Thank you.
This was so helpful. Thank you! I've been using the Mochi Toner by TonyMoly and it has ceramides in it, along with the Beauty of Joseon Green Tea and Panthenol serum and they have been really helping my skin. I had a horrible outbreak of hormonal acne and was prescribed Monocycline along with tretinoin. Using the kbeauty toners, serums, and moisturizers has helped my skin to stay hydrated and healthy despite how drying tretinoin can be. This video really helped me understand my skin and the things I put on it so much!
I used BHA on my skin for about a whole year without using any type of moisturizer or hydrator, only sunscreen once a day. That was it for about a whole year. After I stopped using the BHA because it got rid of my acne, the areas where I used to apply it would become really red at random times. I had no idea why, until I did some reading and discovered that I indeed had completely damaged my skin barrier using the BHA without anything to balance it out. It's been about 3 years and my skin still gets super red in those areas (bringing out the acne marks too!). So yeah, be mindful and careful with your skin barrier!!!!!!
I was using TLC Framboos for years with no issues. Decided to "switch it up" and tried the Sunday Riley Retinoid Serum. It destroyed my skin and it still hasn't recovered. This was probably a year ago. And just recently I was diagnosed with rosacea. So I can definately attest to the title of this video!!!! 😣
I have acne rosacea! I've tried all the common products you see online. The ONLY products that feel good for my very very sensitive skin are simple micellar water, sukin sensitive rose face wash, rio rosa mosqueta rosehip seedoil and sometimes their intensive night treatment. I've never enjoyed going to bed and sleeping with anything harsher than that and my body and skin thank me for it in the morning :) x
I use three kinds of serums and alternate them, one day I use retinol, next day Niacinamide, and next day Tea tree serum, (obviously with all the skincare steps: cleansing-toner- serum- eye cream-face cream), it works fine for me, I have a friend that likes to apply retinol serum everyday and I think maybe it's too agressive, but to each their own.
Please do a video on the new ordinary salicylic acids
Used appropriately, after a dermatologist consultation, these products are fine. Retinol is meant to be phased into, lowest concentration 2x a week, increase as tolerated. If you have any kind of skin concerns, best to visit an actual doctor, not google or Sephora.
I've found myself in the same predicament. I have sensitive skin and every time I try to incorporate chemical exfoliants or salicylic acid face wash, my skin ends up p1ssed. Add winter and all I can tolerate is Cerave wash and lotion, along with Glow recipe avocado serum and LaRoche Posay cica balm
question.. i want to try that glow recipe serum how does it feel on your skin? does it sticky & lightweight? i have large pores and I'm concerned if this thing will clog my pores.. thank you in advance..
I've realized less is better. I'm sticking with a micellar water, and vanicream cleanser (only if I have makeup on) and a simple moisturizer. I will use a dead sea salt to exfoliate my skin 1x a week. I might add a 10% chemical peel 2x a month. I don't think I'm going to use a retinol anymore.
Dead sea salt scrub sounds bad, use retinols, but do it wisely.
Dead Sea salt sounds horrific oh my god
I'm concerned about retinol but can't give up either. My mom noticed I have much more freckles and dark spots nowadys and it's because of sun damage. Ive only used tretenoin/retinol alternate days but now I've decreased it to every 3rd night. Ive used sunscreen diligently everyday but can't reapply often when I'm out. Im so torn.

Why does it sound "horrific" as you stated. I make sure it's somewhat dissolved without the particles scratching my face.
Cassandra, please please can you talk about granuloma annulare? Can retinoids help with it?
Hii cassandra.... Oh my gosh..I love you... Thank you for the video... Much needed. Love from india 🇮🇳, always a fan
I was so excited when I started using pixie glow tonic, and then tarte knockout (biologique recherche dupe), Ann’s then biologique rexherche p50 1970 a few years ago. Damaged my skin barrier and made it look so much worse than it did to begin with. I won’t use acids again, just not worth it to me
The neutrogena acne oil free wash made my skin very sensitive, dry and extremely oily.
What are the best products for rashes on the forehead especially in terms of exfoliating masks and overnight masks ?
Hey Cassandra,, seriously u r a saviour,, u r my cyst-er😉,, I have learned so much about skin and skincare from ur channel,,and I am so thankful to you for that coz I have started understanding my skin better,, I have a question though, I use sunscreen only when I have to go outside, do I also have to use it when I am indoors??
Hi Cassandra! When you say use things like green tea. Do you mean drink more of it or use it topically? I would like to know coz I am from a tea growing country and we have purple tea that has more antioxidants
My skin barrier is damaged currently and I’ve cut out all actives until it’s recovered. If I have a spot, I just put on an acne patch.
Omg 2 days before i bought retinol, im using bha/aha too and planning to have laser for my deep acne pimple. Although m skin care routine helped me a lot. Nd so far i have better skin. Im using sunblock everyday since my high school. Im taking collagen too.
Hi Cassandra. Thanks for your amazing and informative videos. I'm kinda new to skincare and I've been confused lately. Here's the question: Do I need to doube cleanse non-tinted SPF or is it just makeup that I need to double cleanse?
Yes, Spf is hard to get off the skin and requires a double cleanse
Thank you. You listed these 3 types of helpful substances. Should they be all on 1 product or is it only possible to get separately each? And are there any particular product for Day use? If overnight I use adapalene.
i use la roche posay effaclar serum and noticed my skin clearing up, but I developed dry itchy patches and some little red itchy dots. So after some research I found out it might be I have a damaged skin barrier. So I still use the serum, but I'm topping it with the la roche posay cicaplast baume and my skin is clear, smooth, hyperpigmentation free, blemish free and I dont get new pimples.
Cicaplast baume helped me too, i buy the one with spf 50 to use in the day time.
@@dlilwon okay thx👍🏼
