Hey Cassandra! I'm a translator in Korean, so I checked the back of the bottles, the pomegranate mist says "PET" inside the recycle sign, below it says the pump is made of some other material, and the lid is PP. The moisturizer is just the same material, but without the pump. Love your videos, love you 🥰
I cannot tell you how much my experience shopping for Korean skincare has lead me to wishing I could understand the language...Sometimes entire ingredient labels or product info panels are ONLY in Korean on sites like Yesstyle.
@@rhonaldcastiglionemcbriard2023 If it's just the site, then you can google it, but yeah, if it's on the product itself, it can cause headache for many! But in fact, Korean language uses a phonetic writing system, so you can easily learn to read it :) Korean ingredient lists use English expressions for almost all chemical ingredients, they just write them with Korean letters. Maybe it's worth to give it a try :)
Oh wow!! I am not familiar with this brand but this sounds so interesting - I would love to look into this! Do you by chance have a website for that brand I could look at? Or, do you know if they are vegan or cruelty free? I want to compare some of the formulas, prices, and other details!
www.dotandkey.com/?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIjreGnuij6wIVlAsrCh0_QAkKEAAYASAAEgLRS_D_BwE This is the website, their claims are cruelty free, 100% vegetarian (which isn't the same thing as vegan) and toxin free.

Also while you're at it do check out Herbis botanicals www.herbisbotanicals.com Which is a brand in India and a complete rip off of Herbivore
Omg please do Dot & Key. They are an upcoming brand in India. They look exactly like the products above! And yes they are vegan, cruelty and paraben free.
oh god I've used their products tho and they smell like perfume. let alone sensitive skin, if you have a sensitive nose I wouldn't recommend it to you :/
I love how you are not shy at all from talking about social issues on skincare topics :) And really love all your videos exposing all kinds of skincare brands. Hope you can keep doing more brands~
The “we saw people with smooth hands” backstory seems to be SO popular 😂🙈 I’ve heard literally the exact same backstory from 2 other brands but their main ingredient was something fermented. Makes me wonder if these backstories are legit and just happen to be the same or if it’s a marketing trick.
Chandra Cox SKII for sure and the other one I can’t recall but they both had the same fermentation/sake story. I mean it’s fine, I would still buy the product regardless of the backstory, I just find it silly.
Also recycling glass is using up A LOT of energy which doesn't make it that eco-friendly. The best thing imo would be to re-use the same glass bottles and fill them up again, however this would is a huge logistical issue.
Glass is infinitely recyclable with many uses. Plastic is downcycled rather than actually recycled. It has limited number of times it can be made into something else and many types of plastic have no market uses so are not recycled much if at all. Only a couple are really used at all. Most plastic on the market is still first use, and then landfilled. Even much placed in recycling schemes is unusable, or not able to be sold on for any industrial use, so again, is landfilled straight from the recycling facility.
Absolutely and also the carbon emissions from producing glass vs plastic is astronomically higher. Also, only clear and amber glass is recyclable everywhere. Glass tinted other colors isnt even recyclable at all in some municipalities and many formulas can’t be housed in clear glass.
That sunscreen is one of my faves! It does hydrate the skin, doesn't make My eyes itchy aaaand does its work. I recently tried the brightening mask and OMG, it's one the best I've tried so far⭐
I love this brand. It is great for my skin and I am 37. I also tried the small pots of face creams. They are so cute. The blubbery one is like a gel, and I think is better for summer and for people with oily skin. The pomegranate and avocado face cream is rich and is better for winter and for dry skin. I tried only these three. Thank you for the review!
I've been using Frudia products for 2 years now and I highly recommend this brand! The products I use on a daily basis are the blueberry hydrating toner, the citrus brightening serum, and the citrus brightening moisturizer. These products really do work for me. I have combo skin and these products work wonders for my skin. I used to use Ole Hendrickson Vitamin C Gel Creme as my daytime moisturizer, but I switched to Frudia's citrus brightening moisturizer when I received a sample of it when I ordered backups of the blueberry toner, and I automatically fell in love! Kept my skin moisturized all day and never felt like my skin was dry towards the end of the day, like how Ole did. A little goes along way with these products and the price point and packaging are amazing! I can't say one bad thing about Frudia lol.
How do you think the Blueberry Hydrating Toner would fair on acne-prone combination sensitive skin (like mine)? I've been trying to find a good toner lately, and I've tried Frudia's Avocado Essence Toner for the past month, and it's been very irritating to the touch as well as a hassle to get out of the bottle.
@@mary__simone Whenever I get a breakout, my skin doesn't get irritated. Mind you, I don't have acne prone skin. I have combo skin. You can always try the Blueberry toner and see how it works out for you.
Dr. Vanita Rattan is amazing she is on You Tube she actúa does go over the skin products and she said fragrance is not good for the skin. She also tells you what ingredients are bad in the creams or face wash . I ve have learned a lot from her. I like Cassandra but Dr. Vanita Rattan is amazing! You
hey Cassandra, the ingredient you’ve seen as “methoxycinnamate” in the sunscreen is octinoxate itself! european and korean brands choose to use longer names of american organic sunscreen filters (for example: avobenzone is written as butyl methoxydibenzoylmethane) in their ingredients list for some reason, so be aware of that please❤️
One of the reasons why i like kbeauty products is their packaging lmao. They make u be like "yeah idk if i need this but the bottle is cute so imma buy one". 😂 but packaging aside, they really work wonder on me. I use Some By Mi, Mizon, Innisfree and IUNIK. They're all amazing!
It did? I can only find overpriced resellers who import from Korea with a massive markup in Hungary, do you have any tips on what stores I should be looking for it in?
@@splendid4512 same. I got a sample of the pomegranate serum and cream and while the fragrance didn't irritate my skin, I think I wouldn't like using one that smells so much. Although, totally eyeing the mist still😬😅
@@aquana I'm not sure about Hungary. In Estonia it's in Tradehouse and ILU but I don't think that helps, sorry. I hope it'll become more available in Hungary soon!
Imo K-beauty is so much much more advanced than most drugstore brands out there. And at a fraction of the price. The bigger brands really need to step up their formulations. K-beauty is becoming so big in, South Africa and I've personally seen a big improvement in my skin especially dark marks. Also their whole reason for the essence is that it hydrates your skin so that it absorbs the rwts of your serums or moisturisers better. I'm sure you can use a treatment toner and an essence. I do it atm and loving my skin
I use a few depending on the needs of my skin. They have products with BHA and AHA acids. The AHA is a chemical exfoliant and remove dead skin. So I'm sure it helps with dark marks. I am currently using the 8% AHA isntree essence. But I found I get blackheads if I don't use BHA so I use a 0.5% BHA toner from axis-y. I wouldn't suggest it because it has alcohol in it. But they do have other alternatives. And then I use Klairs Vitamin C serum with their Vitamin E Mask. Vitamin E apparently helps to let the Vitamin C absorb better and we all know Vitamin C is excellent for dark marks. I literally have amazing results within just a month
But you need to do your research first. You really do. And check what works for your skin. My skin can't take high concentrations of BHA or else I break out but the lower concentration does wonders at keeping my hormonal breakouts at bay
@@joeface8995 yeah! I mean I've tried diff korean sunscreens which are mineral sunscreens with some UV filters and they dont leave whitecast on, even for my medium-brown complexion. Plus, their serums really are great.
The blueberry cream was AMAZING for my skin! Im 24 btw. Now that it is winter im using the avocado cream and it is a lot richer, lets see what this one can make!
I used to buy this brand all the time in Spain, their SPF was my favourite in the drugstore. Now I moved to Paris and here is nowhere to be seen... I miss it!!!
I always thought essences were a bit useless until I tried the Missha pro ferment essence and it really smoothed my rough skin out. It’s very worth it and has no fragrance and is very light, like water almost! 💕
I use the avocado toner. It’s a nice product, first step after cleansing, skin feels refreshed, and recovered. Will buy again, I bought this product from a more recent video of yours.
Looking at the ingredients, it's a definite no for me and my sensitive skin... Fragrance, essential oils (including highly photosensitizing ones, like bergamot), a lot of good ingredients appearing after the preservatives (so minimal concentration with no impact) etc. It seems like a good idea that does not fulfill its promises.
Yeah I was confused too. Also, even if the ‘liquid’ part of the sprays etc is ‘fruit juice’ and not ‘aqua’, fruit juice is still water though right? Just with citric acid, sugar, and various antioxidants and other stuff in there. So saying it’s water-free seems a bit misleading to me
I just started using chemical sunscreen for the first time in my life! I started with 15 spf and it still burns my skin a bit but everyday it seems a bit less than the other. You changed my skin for the better. Thanks Casandra! ❤️
The minimum recommend spf is usually 30, if you find its stinging I should use a different sunscreen a great chemical one for sensitive skin is the Purito unscented green level sun! I can put it round my eyes and have actually got it in my eyes and it didn’t sting at all!
I'm so happy with the Blueberry line, I tried the pomegranate line but the blueberry is better for me. I just ordered the sunscreen, hope I like that one. I also love it's affordable.
I see Frudia products at TJ maxx/Marshalls sometimes and whenever i do i buy them! One of those lip balms were there and it is so balmy and SMOOTH. Their masks are very nice. Would rly like to try their sunscreen, toner, moisturizer💙
PUHLEASE make a video explaining snail mucin being used in skin care (especially k-beauty) . while i am not vegan , i only buy cruelty free and as of recently been trying to switch my products to vegan as well . companies will say that they collect the mucin after letting snails roam freely on a mesh in the dark for 30 mins , but i’ve also read that the only way to get the type of mucin that’s used for anti aging benefits , they have to irritate the snails because they release a certain type of slime?? lol not sure what’s true but i would love to hear ur thoughts & research on this topic. these products are gaining more hype lately and i think ppl should know the story behind how it’s actually made
It's both! Snail mucin is basically the slime snails produce, however some brands go the extra mile to collect the mucin that is released when the snail is irritated, frightening or in perceived danger. The secretion is mean't to repair and restore any damages the snail (or its') body might think its' subjected to which is why it's believed to be great for skincare as a moisturizing, repairative treatment. In either case, the process is generally cruel free, but what you can check for in each brand practices, is if the snails are well taken care of and allowed to reguvenate with time. Constant production/collecting of this slime can rightfully be taxing for the snail through longer periods of time.
I love this sunscreen, I've just finished my third bottle! It's really light on the skin, does not cause me breakouts, it's good under the makeup and it definitely helped me to develop the habit of applying the sunscreen everyday, because it is so light and lovely. For that price I recommend everyone to give it a try, because you might fall in love with it just like I did!
Is the scent very strong? I prefer unscented products, but this sunscreen and the pomegranate essence really made me intrested and I kinda want to buy em x"D
The scent is not very strong, at least not to me and I don't really like strongly scented products. I think it's worth giving it a try, also the avocado toner and their lip balms are really good.
@@bunnniel I do occasionally buy it when I get bored of trying new ones, I still think it's a good sunscreen, but I wouldn't say it's my all times favourite.
Talking about K beauty, I'm waiting for my Korean sunscreen! I read the ingredients and it seems pretty promising. It _is_ an organic sunscreen, but like you said, the UV filters are more advanced and photostable. Gosh, I can't wait!
Same, I’m so excited! Again this is my first time in years trying a chemical/organic sunscreen but oh my God the formula it is suspended and is so amazing. I honestly wonder why American and other companies aren’t doing this!
@@CassandraBankson *_I'm guessing_* American companies aren't following these footsteps are due to the markets. If they suddenly adapted the Korean trend and everyone liked it, then no one would buy the current American products that are sitting on the shelves. Some businesses might sink. Just assuming.
I saw this brand pop up on Amazon and was interested in it so I went on TH-cam to do some research and was pleasantly surprised to find that you had done a video on them.
that’s so sad when American influencers say that something is pretty cheap and drugstore, while in Poland same product is considered as more than drugstore. frudia isn’t the cheapest in Poland :(
LeRight?! I was a little bit skeptical but this stuff is amazing! It also feels like butter on the skin. Still a little bit nervous and reluctance just because it is an organic/chemical filter! But I am an open minded person and thought that this is one I can’t turn down!
Cassandra Bankson omg first of all, can we appreciate that you actually reply to your viewers! and second of all, I’m from Ukraine but I don’t live there so I go there like twice a year and I get to check out all of the stores and stuff. not really sure why, but there’s so much k beauty in the drug stores over there and that’s really how I found out about the brand. I bought a bunch of their stuff bc I thought it was really cute and the philosophy of “skincare from fruits” interested me.
If you buy these at cvs be very careful and check the expiration date. Almost every korean product I purchased from cvs was expired and I bought just about every korean skincare product that had available in stores. I am obsessed with asian skincare and when everything was shut down from covid cvs was my go to.
Dot and key founded 2018 and Fruida 2016 as said previously but also Fruida is actually 34yrs old as they renamed in 2016 from the original Kwailnara that means fruit land. Either way they might both have their own merit. Packaging is usually just something that can be purchased thru catalog or created. Both brands have nothing new in technology that I haven’t seen in other Korean brands including the extraction method it’s great but not new nor unique to this brand, the key really the stabilization, and delivery; very few lines can stabilize its too costly.
Im pretty sure you were trying to say '우리 시작하자!' which means 'lets begin!' so heres some tips from a native korean. 'Woo'(우) but take out the w. 'Lee'(리). Shi(시) but make it a soft 's'. Jak(작) but make the 'a' nice and short. Ha(하). Ja(자) but make the j sound softer.
Cassandra most of the plastic bottles used in Korean skin care would be considered "number 7" in the USA. Yes, they are accepted by most recycling plants in the US.
I ordered the brightening toner, have really been liking it. Also, I totally agree, Korean skincare and spf is sooo good. And the price! I use the missha sunscreen and it is awesome! Feels and wears more like skincare than spf.
But! Korean is actually a really fun language to learn! If you do want to learn it, study the alphabet for it and then you'll be able to read most korean words!
How wonderful - just as I start using Frudia Cassandra makes a video aboout it. SO EXCIED! One mishap I did notice during the video- in the beginning you mention the green mini being green apple for pore control, but it's actually grape. It's my all time favorite by now. *edit* apparently so excited, I can't even type correctly.
btw - Octyl Methoxycinnamate is also caled Octinoxate or Ethlyhexyl Methoxycinnamate. The filters they use that aren't approved in the US (even though they are far superior in all sorts of ways) are Uvinul a+ and Uvinul T150
James Welsh has mentioned that Pyunkang Yul sells their products in China, meaning that the products have to be tested on animals before they can sell them in the Chinese market. Please correct me if this information is outdated/wrong! 👍🏼
@@anastasiasabrinazuraimi6279 oh, i'm not sure about that but if it's true then that's disappointing :( Although, I did my research but it says Pyunkang Yul is a cruelty-free brand as of 2020?
Just ran a search and they're being sold over priced here in UK. That pink most in your hand is about 15 dollars here, and their 10g mini jars are about 8 dollars. Was hoping it was cheap as chips here too. Its rare so whoever sells it can charge loads.
Why does skincare stories started from a worker making something and the founder wondering what is in the thing they’re making. For example: SK2,Frudia,and some more brand i forgot 🤪
These idealistic stories gives you the impression that the products were made with love rather as opposed to a bunch of old businessmen trying to grab onto trends that will sell $$$🤑 (aka Kylie Skin)
I'm still learning Korean but what I do is use the Google translate app for foreign words in a product. You can do a live translation or take a picture and scan it through the app. 🙂
Hi ❤️ the story of this brand reminded me of Japanese Brand´s SKII and how they made their world famous essence, SKII Facial Treatment Essence Petra. They observed the hands of people who were making dough for breads with yeast. Their hands were younger looking than their faces, hence they brought the yeast to their skin care, and developed it to make it the groundbreaking "secret ingredient" in their products. I personally used that essence and is really nice on my sensitive, dry mature skin. Have you ever come across it? I am curious about what would you say about it. Thank you for always sharing the well needed knowledge with us ❤️
Hi Cassandra. Can you do an explanation on how climate affects you skin type? And how you would transition from a dry season to a more humid season or between cities that have different climates??
I gave the frudia avocado essence toner a try and oh boy, I regret on that. Apparently it has coconut oil and clogged my pores so bad that my skin never looked worse, even worse than when I was a teen. I thought it was a different product and it took me a while to figure it out. 😬 Wouldn't recommend it at all
coconut oil is a good moisturising ingredient, it also can be harmful for acne prone skin. im sorry but if you have acne problems you should scan all the ingredients for their comedogenic ratings.its not the toner's nor brand's fault
Heeey! I tried this product for 3 fays and the 4th day ne skin was full of small pimples...The 5th i got badly swollen so i started talking pills and cut the product immediately.Did u have the same experience?
Korean questions I didn’t see answered in the comments: Let’s begin = 시작하자 (shi jak ha ja) Kwailnara 과일나라 -> gwa (like GUAva) ill na la Lee Shi-young is an actress. Most likely known in the US for Boys Over Flowers (Korean remake of Japanese Hana Yori Dango). Also in the Netflix show Sweet Home. Lady Jane is a singer but better known for her former relationship with rapper Simon D
I wish you talked about this brazilian brand that I love, too bad they don't sell in other countries. But they have a very interesting facial scrub that has three different types of exfoliation, chemical, physical and enzymatic! And I really wanted to know more about the formula
I am interested in Korean beauty and I never heard about Frudia... but I moved to Korea 1 year ago and through Instagram I won a set of their hand creams they were so nice and had so great scent ( the cactus one was amazing) happy to see that you like some products and I will definitely try it 🥰
Hi Cassandra, I'm writing to you from Istanbul, Turkey and to answer your question about Frudia customer profile; yes I've been using Frudia Pomegranate Toner since five months and I'm really happy about the result. To tell you more about the profile, no I'm not college skin; I'm 43, I've never had one single zit/acne in my life until 30. When I hit 30, adult acne came to my life and it was incredibly frustrating to me (no, my diet was quite good. now always super healthy but never a junk food junkie). Now everything seems fine, sometimes little blemishes on the chin area (like today for example), still very sensitive but mostly acne free. Anyway, during the pandemic I've wanted to try something new, something good but not influencer it-item. And I got it from the Korean cosmetic chain store Watsons which has more than 300 stores, here in Turkey. Well, here you have a Frudia customer profile from the other side of the pond. Cheers, take care .
In the future if you need to read packaging in a different language, try downloading the google translate app. You can point your camera at the word and the app can translate in real time. I’ve used it to read ingredients on instant hot pot packages lol. There’s also an app that translates audio. I saw it on 90 day fiance. You just talk into your phone/maybe hold it up to your computer & play the video. Then it can translate into english.
Can you dig up in Elizavecca as well? They have for example 100% centella asiatica essence in glass bottle. Also probiotics, hialuronic acid etc. and its even more inexpensive than Frudia. The prices are like 7-20$.
Hey Cassandra, I was wondering if you could do a video on how to repair a broken skin barrier (something I'm currently struggling with). I've done A LOT of research on my own, but would really like your scientific and trustworthy input! ❤️
If you want to try european sunscreens, ultrasun and P20 are fantastic brands. Cyrille Laurent here on youtube raves about the P20 kids sunscreen. Its uva protection is over 50 apparently.
But isn't it true that the ingredient lists are read differently in Korea and it's not based on the highest concentration to be on top of the list? In Korea from what I have researched, they purposefully be putting the Extracts first and the unknown ingredients last just for marketing strategies and it seems that it's working great.
funny if you go to korean cosmetic stores ..ALL the packaging in korea are cute, the presentation of their products 99.9 percent cute and just adorable , that’s why I love korean products so much!! well except older people’s skin care producta or cosmetics.
I live in Ukraine and one of our local drugstores recently started carrying Frudia. My skin is naturally thin with visible veins and capillaries, normal in terms of oil production but very prone to clogged pores. It also absolutely hates dimethicone and most of other silicones (even though they're not supposed to be pore clogging), so I avoid them in my skincare and makeup. I guess the're just too occlusive for me. That is why out of all of Frudia's moisturizers i picked the avocado relief. I was a bit catious of lavender oil and fragrance purely because of all this hate towards fragrance on YT. But guess what - my skin absolutely loved that cream. It moisturised my skin, calmed down my sometimes angry capillaries and reeeealy evened out the skin tone. That sunscreen though... It clogs my pores like heeeeel just in one single use ( and I`m definitely a double cleanse kind of girl). And it looks very shiny on me. I assume that's my skin hating dimethicone again but I just wanted to give it a go. I also liked those peel pads (the mitten shaped ones) because they are not too harsh on me. Now I`m on the hunt for avocado essence. For the price I think this brand is definitely worth a try (especially those cute little creams).
Love you Anna! Oh my goodness you would do so well at trying to learn Korean! I know you and I have spoken about learning Spanish a bit in the past - so happy for you and your linguistic journey! For Korean, do you know if I pronounced any of those words are places correctly? I am still hoping I did LOL!

Dr. Vanita Rattan is amazing she is on You Tube she actúa does go over the skin products and she said fragrance is not good for the skin. She also tells you what ingredients are bad in the creams or face wash . I ve have learned a lot from her. I like Cassandra but Dr. Vanita Rattan is amazing! You
hey Cassandra, the ingredient you’ve seen as “methoxycinnamate” in the sunscreen is octinoxate itself! european and korean brands choose to use longer names of american organic sunscreen filters (for example: avobenzone is written as butyl methoxydibenzoylmethane) in their ingredients list for some reason, so be aware of that please❤️
I think it's Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate, but yeah, most countries don't use the common names in the ingredients list.
UK and Eu use the proper chemical names too. I
This is probably what LUSH wish to be but can’t achieve.
One of the reasons why i like kbeauty products is their packaging lmao. They make u be like "yeah idk if i need this but the bottle is cute so imma buy one". 😂 but packaging aside, they really work wonder on me. I use Some By Mi, Mizon, Innisfree and IUNIK. They're all amazing!
This brand came out in Europe also and i'm suddenly seeing it everywhere.
Yes, me too! But I'm kinda afraid to use them because of the fragrance they contain...
It did? I can only find overpriced resellers who import from Korea with a massive markup in Hungary, do you have any tips on what stores I should be looking for it in?
@@splendid4512 same. I got a sample of the pomegranate serum and cream and while the fragrance didn't irritate my skin, I think I wouldn't like using one that smells so much. Although, totally eyeing the mist still😬😅
@@aquana I'm not sure about Hungary. In Estonia it's in Tradehouse and ILU but I don't think that helps, sorry. I hope it'll become more available in Hungary soon!
@@splendid4512 also, the sunscreen though. It has fragrance but was heckin nice to use. That one I think i would actually buy again.
Imo K-beauty is so much much more advanced than most drugstore brands out there. And at a fraction of the price. The bigger brands really need to step up their formulations. K-beauty is becoming so big in, South Africa and I've personally seen a big improvement in my skin especially dark marks. Also their whole reason for the essence is that it hydrates your skin so that it absorbs the rwts of your serums or moisturisers better. I'm sure you can use a treatment toner and an essence. I do it atm and loving my skin
What specific products have you been using that helped lighten your dark marks?
Sam S i’m curious to know as well
I use a few depending on the needs of my skin. They have products with BHA and AHA acids. The AHA is a chemical exfoliant and remove dead skin. So I'm sure it helps with dark marks. I am currently using the 8% AHA isntree essence. But I found I get blackheads if I don't use BHA so I use a 0.5% BHA toner from axis-y. I wouldn't suggest it because it has alcohol in it. But they do have other alternatives. And then I use Klairs Vitamin C serum with their Vitamin E Mask. Vitamin E apparently helps to let the Vitamin C absorb better and we all know Vitamin C is excellent for dark marks. I literally have amazing results within just a month
But you need to do your research first. You really do. And check what works for your skin. My skin can't take high concentrations of BHA or else I break out but the lower concentration does wonders at keeping my hormonal breakouts at bay
Korean skin care really is so competetive when it comes to formulations.
Truth, honestly ever since trying their sunscreen I just dropped American skincare
@@joeface8995 yeah! I mean I've tried diff korean sunscreens which are mineral sunscreens with some UV filters and they dont leave whitecast on, even for my medium-brown complexion. Plus, their serums really are great.
The blueberry cream was AMAZING for my skin! Im 24 btw. Now that it is winter im using the avocado cream and it is a lot richer, lets see what this one can make!
I used to buy this brand all the time in Spain, their SPF was my favourite in the drugstore. Now I moved to Paris and here is nowhere to be seen... I miss it!!!
How was it? What skin type do you have?
I always thought essences were a bit useless until I tried the Missha pro ferment essence and it really smoothed my rough skin out. It’s very worth it and has no fragrance and is very light, like water almost! 💕
At this point I have watched so many of your videos that I automatically hit that like button before you even saying it! 😂
You’re amazing! LOL it’s such a pleasure to have you here! 🦋
Same.
This is the most real , intellectual , helpful skincare channel ! T H A N K Y O U Cassandra! 🎯
Thank YOUUU!! 🦋💕🥑
I use the avocado toner. It’s a nice product, first step after cleansing, skin feels refreshed, and recovered. Will buy again, I bought this product from a more recent video of yours.
Looking at the ingredients, it's a definite no for me and my sensitive skin... Fragrance, essential oils (including highly photosensitizing ones, like bergamot), a lot of good ingredients appearing after the preservatives (so minimal concentration with no impact) etc. It seems like a good idea that does not fulfill its promises.
@Anastazia Rose Probably sponsored.
@@traceytrotter9934 it is sponsored, by Stylevana who sell Frudia lol
Yeah I was confused too. Also, even if the ‘liquid’ part of the sprays etc is ‘fruit juice’ and not ‘aqua’, fruit juice is still water though right? Just with citric acid, sugar, and various antioxidants and other stuff in there. So saying it’s water-free seems a bit misleading to me
I just started using chemical sunscreen for the first time in my life! I started with 15 spf and it still burns my skin a bit but everyday it seems a bit less than the other. You changed my skin for the better. Thanks Casandra! ❤️
The minimum recommend spf is usually 30, if you find its stinging I should use a different sunscreen a great chemical one for sensitive skin is the Purito unscented green level sun! I can put it round my eyes and have actually got it in my eyes and it didn’t sting at all!
I'm so happy with the Blueberry line, I tried the pomegranate line but the blueberry is better for me. I just ordered the sunscreen, hope I like that one. I also love it's affordable.
I see Frudia products at TJ maxx/Marshalls sometimes and whenever i do i buy them! One of those lip balms were there and it is so balmy and SMOOTH. Their masks are very nice. Would rly like to try their sunscreen, toner, moisturizer💙
PUHLEASE make a video explaining snail mucin being used in skin care (especially k-beauty) . while i am not vegan , i only buy cruelty free and as of recently been trying to switch my products to vegan as well . companies will say that they collect the mucin after letting snails roam freely on a mesh in the dark for 30 mins , but i’ve also read that the only way to get the type of mucin that’s used for anti aging benefits , they have to irritate the snails because they release a certain type of slime?? lol not sure what’s true but i would love to hear ur thoughts & research on this topic. these products are gaining more hype lately and i think ppl should know the story behind how it’s actually made
Dr. Dray talks about this, if you upset the snails they actually secrete something that's not good for you or something like that. Go watch her video!
I think they just kill them...
Snail slime used to be all the hype in k-beauty.....then they moved on to venom bee for a while....
Keshini Pillay how do you think they extract it? Hugging and petting the bees and snails ? To get the bee venom you obviously have to kill the bee
It's both! Snail mucin is basically the slime snails produce, however some brands go the extra mile to collect the mucin that is released when the snail is irritated, frightening or in perceived danger. The secretion is mean't to repair and restore any damages the snail (or its') body might think its' subjected to which is why it's believed to be great for skincare as a moisturizing, repairative treatment. In either case, the process is generally cruel free, but what you can check for in each brand practices, is if the snails are well taken care of and allowed to reguvenate with time. Constant production/collecting of this slime can rightfully be taxing for the snail through longer periods of time.
I love this sunscreen, I've just finished my third bottle! It's really light on the skin, does not cause me breakouts, it's good under the makeup and it definitely helped me to develop the habit of applying the sunscreen everyday, because it is so light and lovely. For that price I recommend everyone to give it a try, because you might fall in love with it just like I did!
The chemical sunscreens will get to you at some point. Your face will start to burn.
Is the scent very strong? I prefer unscented products, but this sunscreen and the pomegranate essence really made me intrested and I kinda want to buy em x"D
The scent is not very strong, at least not to me and I don't really like strongly scented products. I think it's worth giving it a try, also the avocado toner and their lip balms are really good.
do you still use and love it to this day?
@@bunnniel I do occasionally buy it when I get bored of trying new ones, I still think it's a good sunscreen, but I wouldn't say it's my all times favourite.
Talking about K beauty, I'm waiting for my Korean sunscreen! I read the ingredients and it seems pretty promising. It _is_ an organic sunscreen, but like you said, the UV filters are more advanced and photostable. Gosh, I can't wait!
Same, I’m so excited! Again this is my first time in years trying a chemical/organic sunscreen but oh my God the formula it is suspended and is so amazing. I honestly wonder why American and other companies aren’t doing this!
@@CassandraBankson *_I'm guessing_* American companies aren't following these footsteps are due to the markets. If they suddenly adapted the Korean trend and everyone liked it, then no one would buy the current American products that are sitting on the shelves. Some businesses might sink. Just assuming.
I saw this brand pop up on Amazon and was interested in it so I went on TH-cam to do some research and was pleasantly surprised to find that you had done a video on them.
I heard the same "hands dipped in vats of something" story for soy ferment. Suspicious.
that’s so sad when American influencers say that something is pretty cheap and drugstore, while in Poland same product is considered as more than drugstore. frudia isn’t the cheapest in Poland :(
I loooove this brand, I always buy their sheet masks and they're the ones that worked best on my skin
PA++++ Sunscreen for under 10 bucks??? wtf I AM *SO IN!* THANK YOU! and shoutout to the fam using k-beauty in their regimen too!
LeRight?! I was a little bit skeptical but this stuff is amazing! It also feels like butter on the skin. Still a little bit nervous and reluctance just because it is an organic/chemical filter! But I am an open minded person and thought that this is one I can’t turn down!
@@CassandraBankson exactly!! and I hope this chemical KOREAN sunscreen really helps you build the confidence to use more often!!! 감사 !!
@@CassandraBankson chemical sunscreens burn on the face for so many of us. If not now, then they will in the future.
Hey guys! Whoever needs to be reading this right now, I hope you know you are loved and have the best day!
That is very nice!
These comments are beyond annoying.
FINALLY someone’s talking about this brand! I’ve been waiting for a video like this bc I’ve known about this brand for quite a while
Amazing! How did you first find out about them? I am really blown away and wish that I had dug into Korean beauty and Korean skin care sooner!
Cassandra Bankson omg first of all, can we appreciate that you actually reply to your viewers! and second of all, I’m from Ukraine but I don’t live there so I go there like twice a year and I get to check out all of the stores and stuff. not really sure why, but there’s so much k beauty in the drug stores over there and that’s really how I found out about the brand. I bought a bunch of their stuff bc I thought it was really cute and the philosophy of “skincare from fruits” interested me.
If you buy these at cvs be very careful and check the expiration date. Almost every korean product I purchased from cvs was expired and I bought just about every korean skincare product that had available in stores. I am obsessed with asian skincare and when everything was shut down from covid cvs was my go to.
Day 1 of asking Cassandra to do an under $100 skincare routine for the Inkey List
Looking at the thumbnail so similar to dot and key in India actually makes me wonder if they copied each other or are original !
These seem so similar
Just a tip, I think you should change the colour of your background so we can all see the products. I hope that doesn’t sound rude, I am a huge fan.
Girl! Your pumping out so much context. You are amazing
Thank you for being here, learning, and enjoying with the rest of us!
Dot and key founded 2018 and Fruida 2016 as said previously but also Fruida is actually 34yrs old as they renamed in 2016 from the original Kwailnara that means fruit land. Either way they might both have their own merit. Packaging is usually just something that can be purchased thru catalog or created. Both brands have nothing new in technology that I haven’t seen in other Korean brands including the extraction method it’s great but not new nor unique to this brand, the key really the stabilization, and delivery; very few lines can stabilize its too costly.
Okay, ordered from your links. I love what I already use for my face. I will use these for my body.
Finally someone is talking about Frudia cause it's been so long since I wanted to buy it but I havent bought any cause I had doubts
This is an interesting line. I ONLY use Korean sunscreen. My skin loves them!
I'm using pineapple juice on sheet masks and it's really brightening my skin!
Im pretty sure you were trying to say '우리 시작하자!' which means 'lets begin!' so heres some tips from a native korean. 'Woo'(우) but take out the w. 'Lee'(리). Shi(시) but make it a soft 's'. Jak(작) but make the 'a' nice and short. Ha(하). Ja(자) but make the j sound softer.
Cassandra most of the plastic bottles used in Korean skin care would be considered "number 7" in the USA. Yes, they are accepted by most recycling plants in the US.
I am simply amazed by your research and detective skills. Lol! It's always fun and informative to watch these videos by you.
I ordered the brightening toner, have really been liking it. Also, I totally agree, Korean skincare and spf is sooo good. And the price! I use the missha sunscreen and it is awesome! Feels and wears more like skincare than spf.
Which one do you use?
Mahfuza A I use the missha 50 waterproof sun milk.
But! Korean is actually a really fun language to learn! If you do want to learn it, study the alphabet for it and then you'll be able to read most korean words!
How wonderful - just as I start using Frudia Cassandra makes a video aboout it. SO EXCIED!
One mishap I did notice during the video- in the beginning you mention the green mini being green apple for pore control, but it's actually grape. It's my all time favorite by now.
*edit* apparently so excited, I can't even type correctly.
btw - Octyl Methoxycinnamate is also caled Octinoxate or Ethlyhexyl Methoxycinnamate. The filters they use that aren't approved in the US (even though they are far superior in all sorts of ways) are Uvinul a+ and Uvinul T150
Thank you Cassandra, I search for your videos before buying any new skin product
I use a lot of Korean beauty products. The best for me are iUnik, dear klairs, Cosrx, sulwhasoo, laneige, Innisfree and heimish.
This is the start that Cassandra will love Kbeauty like Hyram and James and Susan
Hellooo, have you tried Pyunkang Yul products yet? I wonder what you think of their low ph cleanser and essence toner! 😁
I haven’t but they sound super interesting!!
@@CassandraBankson yess I heard they're cruelty-free and vegan too! :)
James Welsh has mentioned that Pyunkang Yul sells their products in China, meaning that the products have to be tested on animals before they can sell them in the Chinese market.
Please correct me if this information is outdated/wrong! 👍🏼
@@anastasiasabrinazuraimi6279 oh, i'm not sure about that but if it's true then that's disappointing :( Although, I did my research but it says Pyunkang Yul is a cruelty-free brand as of 2020?
@@bangtanwasseo5948 they are not cruelty free and not vegan.
I've bought the avocado relief toner after watching your previous k-beauty video. Can't wait for it to get home and try it!
Just ran a search and they're being sold over priced here in UK. That pink most in your hand is about 15 dollars here, and their 10g mini jars are about 8 dollars. Was hoping it was cheap as chips here too. Its rare so whoever sells it can charge loads.
Why does skincare stories started from a worker making something and the founder wondering what is in the thing they’re making. For example: SK2,Frudia,and some more brand i forgot 🤪
These idealistic stories gives you the impression that the products were made with love rather as opposed to a bunch of old businessmen trying to grab onto trends that will sell $$$🤑 (aka Kylie Skin)
This brand is available in Eastern Europe (not sunscreen though) and I'm happy you did this video. Thank you❤️
Love Korean beauty products, hope you keep analyzing k-beauty!
cassandra i LOVEEE your hair in this video.. you look stunning!
I was interested in this skincare line, but all their products have a loot of fragrance , which I am not into
ikr so disappointing :( especially since everything else sounded great.
K-beauty has so many products which do not have fragrances in them though. Look around and find what suits you
Anyone else reminded of Winnie the Pooh by this line’s packaging???
I'm still learning Korean but what I do is use the Google translate app for foreign words in a product. You can do a live translation or take a picture and scan it through the app. 🙂
I think we should be informed when something is sponsored. These products are not great ingredient wise. I think they look cheap too.
Hi ❤️ the story of this brand reminded me of Japanese Brand´s SKII and how they made their world famous essence, SKII Facial Treatment Essence Petra. They observed the hands of people who were making dough for breads with yeast. Their hands were younger looking than their faces, hence they brought the yeast to their skin care, and developed it to make it the groundbreaking "secret ingredient" in their products. I personally used that essence and is really nice on my sensitive, dry mature skin. Have you ever come across it? I am curious about what would you say about it. Thank you for always sharing the well needed knowledge with us ❤️
Hi Cassandra. Can you do an explanation on how climate affects you skin type? And how you would transition from a dry season to a more humid season or between cities that have different climates??
I gave the frudia avocado essence toner a try and oh boy, I regret on that. Apparently it has coconut oil and clogged my pores so bad that my skin never looked worse, even worse than when I was a teen. I thought it was a different product and it took me a while to figure it out. 😬 Wouldn't recommend it at all
coconut oil is a good moisturising ingredient, it also can be harmful for acne prone skin. im sorry but if you have acne problems you should scan all the ingredients for their comedogenic ratings.its not the toner's nor brand's fault
Heeey! I tried this product for 3 fays and the 4th day ne skin was full of small pimples...The 5th i got badly swollen so i started talking pills and cut the product immediately.Did u have the same experience?
Hi I am using missha and their skin care is fabulous,
I like Frudia Sun Avocado Greenery Relief, SPF 50+
Hi Cassandra can you make a video on what sunscreens are best under makeup and how its best to apply please
Korean questions I didn’t see answered in the comments:
Let’s begin = 시작하자 (shi jak ha ja)

Lee Shi-young is an actress. Most likely known in the US for Boys Over Flowers (Korean remake of Japanese Hana Yori Dango). Also in the Netflix show Sweet Home.

I wish you talked about this brazilian brand that I love, too bad they don't sell in other countries. But they have a very interesting facial scrub that has three different types of exfoliation, chemical, physical and enzymatic! And I really wanted to know more about the formula
I lived in Korea for three years. I love k beauty and Korean food. Korea is freaking amazing and I can’t wait to move their permanently.
I am interested in Korean beauty and I never heard about Frudia... but I moved to Korea 1 year ago and through Instagram I won a set of their hand creams they were so nice and had so great scent ( the cactus one was amazing) happy to see that you like some products and I will definitely try it 🥰
Hi Cassandra, I'm writing to you from Istanbul, Turkey and to answer your question about Frudia customer profile; yes I've been using Frudia Pomegranate Toner since five months and I'm really happy about the result. To tell you more about the profile, no I'm not college skin; I'm 43, I've never had one single zit/acne in my life until 30. When I hit 30, adult acne came to my life and it was incredibly frustrating to me (no, my diet was quite good. now always super healthy but never a junk food junkie). Now everything seems fine, sometimes little blemishes on the chin area (like today for example), still very sensitive but mostly acne free. Anyway, during the pandemic I've wanted to try something new, something good but not influencer it-item. And I got it from the Korean cosmetic chain store Watsons which has more than 300 stores, here in Turkey. Well, here you have a Frudia customer profile from the other side of the pond. Cheers, take care .
Perfect timing . I put that Frudia avocado toner in my basket
6:59 when Cassandra said "so we can get to the bottom of this!" I was so sure she was going to say bottle instead of bottom.
I'm using their SPF moisturizer and cleanser gel and I love them.
In the future if you need to read packaging in a different language, try downloading the google translate app. You can point your camera at the word and the app can translate in real time. I’ve used it to read ingredients on instant hot pot packages lol. There’s also an app that translates audio. I saw it on 90 day fiance. You just talk into your phone/maybe hold it up to your computer & play the video. Then it can translate into english.
Can you dig up in Elizavecca as well? They have for example 100% centella asiatica essence in glass bottle. Also probiotics, hialuronic acid etc. and its even more inexpensive than Frudia. The prices are like 7-20$.

No they are not the same shade!
Oh! Wait?
I have fallen for it 😂😂😂
Hey Cassandra, I was wondering if you could do a video on how to repair a broken skin barrier (something I'm currently struggling with). I've done A LOT of research on my own, but would really like your scientific and trustworthy input! ❤️
They’re so cute. I want to try this.
If you want to try european sunscreens, ultrasun and P20 are fantastic brands. Cyrille Laurent here on youtube raves about the P20 kids sunscreen. Its uva protection is over 50 apparently.
Thankful for reliable transparency about brands!
When I saw the Thumbnail I immediately thought about the company "Dot And Key" here in India. Their packaging is the same not kidding.
But isn't it true that the ingredient lists are read differently in Korea and it's not based on the highest concentration to be on top of the list? In Korea from what I have researched, they purposefully be putting the Extracts first and the unknown ingredients last just for marketing strategies and it seems that it's working great.
Big pharma in the West has been doing it for more than a hundred years, with ingredients that hugely vary from one part of the world to another
funny if you go to korean cosmetic stores ..ALL the packaging in korea are cute, the presentation of their products 99.9 percent cute and just adorable , that’s why I love korean products so much!! well except older people’s skin care producta or cosmetics.
Why was this video so much fun!
I live in Ukraine and one of our local drugstores recently started carrying Frudia. My skin is naturally thin with visible veins and capillaries, normal in terms of oil production but very prone to clogged pores. It also absolutely hates dimethicone and most of other silicones (even though they're not supposed to be pore clogging), so I avoid them in my skincare and makeup. I guess the're just too occlusive for me. That is why out of all of Frudia's moisturizers i picked the avocado relief. I was a bit catious of lavender oil and fragrance purely because of all this hate towards fragrance on YT. But guess what - my skin absolutely loved that cream. It moisturised my skin, calmed down my sometimes angry capillaries and reeeealy evened out the skin tone. That sunscreen though... It clogs my pores like heeeeel just in one single use ( and I`m definitely a double cleanse kind of girl). And it looks very shiny on me. I assume that's my skin hating dimethicone again but I just wanted to give it a go. I also liked those peel pads (the mitten shaped ones) because they are not too harsh on me. Now I`m on the hunt for avocado essence. For the price I think this brand is definitely worth a try (especially those cute little creams).
Thanks so much! Have you tried anything from the pomegranate line?
You Okay?
Ohhh my goshhhh... This is an exact look alike product of Indian brand dot and key
Really interesting. Those are so cute! I kind of want to try them. Im trying to learn Korean as well as relearning Spanish again.
Love you Anna! Oh my goodness you would do so well at trying to learn Korean! I know you and I have spoken about learning Spanish a bit in the past - so happy for you and your linguistic journey! For Korean, do you know if I pronounced any of those words are places correctly? I am still hoping I did LOL!
Cassandra Bankson it’s been a while since I’ve watched Korean dramas. I think you pronounced those words good. I try to listen to kpop bands and that’s how I’ve been learning even though my family makes fun of me but hey I love learning languages
