imagine how easy our lives would be if their was only 1 kind of acne
JustSomeRando wish acne didn’t fucking exist
Imagine how easy like would be if their was NO acne 😂😂😂😂
JustSomeRando Imagine we all have perfect smooth skin forever 😢
This made me laugh. You're right. They say we're unique, and maybe, so is my acne😜
AADHUXO it’s such an asshole
I love your videos, please note that there are black girls watching you too (raises hands) so when you show pictures of what hives, flaking etc. looks like, it would be great to see an example of hives on brown skin too just so I have a reference when I start my new products. Keep up the awesome work, great to see qualified people speaking with knowledge, yes female scientists! X
What’s the difference on brown skin and white skin it’s about skin TYPE not colour! Ffs problematic af
JiVKook it helps us see what it looks like on our skin. calm down
@@naraa8768 damn, calm down karen
@@naraa8768 lol we need to see a reference. We are not asking for the world, just a picture. Calm down.
@@naraa8768 No it's not problematic at all. Some skin reactions /conditions can vary in colour depending on the colour of your skin. Asking for a picture isn't problematic, it's helping to have a low probability of misdiagnosis and incorrect treatment to these reactions.
Teenage me wishes I had a Cassandra to teach me all of this stuff!
Sharai Ann Bravo looove you Sharai!! 🦋💕
Me too..I'm here struggling with adult acne
Same sis, same :(
Right!? I remember reading teen magazines thinking they would HELP lol
Same here
Can’t believe you released this right after my skin started reacting to my ordinary products I just bought. I’m still not sure if I’m purging I hope I am..
Give it few days :) I had a looot of bumps during the whole first week but then my skin never was clearer!
Lmaooo omg same!
Marta Borkowska okay thank you!
Same (with the toner)
Oh yes me 2. From the niacinamide i think.
.
Niacinamide made me purge sooo much, and the salicylic masque makes me purge whenever I use it, glycolic acid also made me peel - but I noticed that all the tiny bumps that were hiding under the surface of my skin since high school have totally disappeared! I still get break outs of course but seeing how the skin works and what pulls things from the glands is just the MOST FASCINATING SHIT EVER.
Kat Krol ok NIACINIMIDE made me purge to the point to where I would literally feel embarrassed to show my face. The pimples went away ( I never picked at them) but they left spots. Is that normal?
@@alexalma6623 I think it is normal but also just depends on how sensitive you are and how much you're also exfoliating. Slowly adding vitamin c could help with the spot fading
I'll second that.
Oh my god same. I was scared that I was reacting to it wrong since after a week of using it my face started to look terrible and I didn't think niacinamide could cause a purge. It's really reassuring to see someone else had the same problem ❤️
Kat Krol yooo i used the niacinamide serum from the ordinary just two days ago for the first time and my skin is PURGING SO MUCh. Are ur 'purge pimples' also like mainly white and filled with puss?? and they come in groups lmao
Quarantine really made me don't know what to do with my skin
My skin is the worst it’s been in my life
Jessica Gaston mine too:(((
Jessica Gaston MINE TOO 💔😭
Trueee!!! The moment i look at the mirror it makes me cry!!!! Huhuhuhu my skin really don’t cooperate 😭
Same here :( :(
You literally made me calm down
She made us call down ☺️😊
YES I was about throw everything in the bin and just give up on my skin 😅
@@rainboweatingteddy I literally commented 8 months ago, finally found the right product for me
One tip is to not use the same product over and over again
Your skin might get too used to it which makes it's effectiveness weak overtime
Resting on a certaib product is fine too
Hope this helps have a great journey
Same here
@@rainboweatingteddy same 😭😭
That actually helped me a lot! I just started using The Ordinary products and got so scared when my skin suddenly got a lot worse. I thought that the product wasn’t for me, or even worse, I was allergic to it. Keep in mind, I started using it about 2 days ago. So this definitely helped me a lot, because nobody - and I mean NOBODY talks about this, so I thought that my skin will become so much better immediately when I started my first skin care routine. Wow, thanks a lot! 😊😊😊
I just have the same reaction 2 days after I started niacinamide+zink and squalane cleanser. What happened with you? Still using it? I am afraid that it is allergy... 🙄
Marija Martinovic I’m still using it and the reactions definitely went away! My skin has never been this hydrated and smooth... Although one specific product really irritated my skin: salicylic acid 2% masque. My skin is probably too sensitive for this type of acid, so every time I used it my skin got inflamed and red like crazy. I’m definitely not a skin expert, but if you have severe reactions after using the product, or really suspect an allergy, the same stuff happens over and over again it’s probably better to try something new. But I’m definitely not qualified to say that 😂😂 let me know how it goes for you! 🥳😊
@@agyvv242 Thank you so much for your response! 🌟
I will make a short break until my skin calms down, and then introduce one product at the time. I started abruptly and that adds to the confusion (I have a new sunscreen, I tried salicylic acid also last week...).
Marija Martinovic please give updates❤️ i’m thinking about getting the same product but i’m scared it’ll mess up my skin😔✌️
@@kiwianimation2709 I left my skin to calm down on its own and 3 days ago I continued with squalane cleanser. I am thinking to introduce 2% salicylic acid exfoliant. So, I will probably bring back niacinamide+zink next week or even in two weeks... I hope that is not too late, I will update anyway! xoxo
Sometimes, I wish I could fall apart in the shower tbh
r u ok? ❤️
@@florale1065 D'aaww, piggy... being ok is temporary, death is eternal :3
me too
@Helen _ Patrick we are the virus, Helen
U pressed af, go take that negative ass energy somewhere else. Positive vibes here only.🖤🖤🖤
I cannot wait until my skin has finished purging! I am trying so hard to keep from picking at the whiteheads!!
Hey did those whiteheads disappear??
@@iman8743 Yes actually! My skin is the clearest it's been in awhile!
Charlie Brown thankyouuu glad you hear! Also how long did it take for those whiteheads to go?
It takes up to 4 days I would say. I used acne spot treatment so that definitely sped up the process so I'm not sure how long it would take without spot treatment.
Charlie Brown ahhh thankyouuuu. Yes I’m using sudocreme over those whiteheads to make them disappear quicker
As a teenager that struggles with acne, I am honestly so so grateful for ur channel!!
I started The Inkey List salicylic acid cleanser a month and a half ago, at first my skin purged a lot but I kept telling myself "it gets worse before it gets better" and now it's almost completely clear
*yay*
i think the same thing is happening to me... it started about a week after. how long did the purging take for you?
@@averyteabo9995 did it get clear for you too?
Worried that's happening to me now!!
the little yay in the end sends me✋😭
@@maisharahman1368 sadly no :(. nothing worked for my skin so i went to a dermatologist and so far so good! if you can and nothing works i definitely suggest going. sorry for the late response!
28 days to figure out if the products works or not.
Breakouts - Rashes , Hives
Thank you! You posted this video at the right time for me. I JUST started using niacinamide and I felt bummed about it potentially making my skin worse. I think I’m going to stick it out because the pimples that popped up seem to already be fading quicker than they would without it.
Just keep at it- if you are prone to cystic pimples that take forever to actually come to the surface it pulls them up so quick! The main thing is to not pick the pimples that come up while purging (I sucked at that lol)
O my...same thing is happening to me...TO niacinamide is breaking me out somuchhhhh
Kat Krol It’s been about 20 days since I’ve started my new skincare regime with niacinamide and the stuff that’s popped up during the purging stage is FINALLY clearing up! Even the 2 HUGE cysts that popped up are close to being gone. Soooo happy.
@@aspenhoward1867 updates please?
Valentina Pisu unfortunately, I think my face was clearing up because where I was at in my hormonal cycle. My face is really broken out right now. :(
This video was uploaded at the PERFECT time. About to binge watch it now, I love you Cassandra! Hope you're doing well!
Finished and onto patch testing.. something I should have done! lol
My skin looked amazing from afar but once you got close you’d see SO MANY bumps. I’ve started the niacinamide 10+ 1% zinc from the ordinary. My skin is definitely purging. I hope it goes by fast >:(
EDIT: I have 0 pimples on my face. Unfortunately I do have some hyperpigmentation and scars but I can confidently say this made my pimples disappear. Be sure to exfoliate too! Exfoliating and soothing masks helped the process!
any updates? I just started using the same serum a few days ago and I am currently STRUGGLING.
Danny Kleina after 2 days I got yellow bumps everywhere (on my forehead especially). I used a mask (glamglow supermud) and my skin looks amazing. I can tell I’m still not done because I have pimples coming in on my cheeks and chin but until now it’s going great! Apart from the actual pimples, the rest of my skin looks great!
@@Hdidbi_3049 any updates?
Leila's Blog yes ofcourse! After 2 weeks I still get yellow heads, those are the ones that arent hard to pop AT ALL. A simple rub with get rid of those. I haven’t had a genuine pimple (you know the painful ones) in 4 days. When I got pimples, I did not pop them and they went away on their own. My scars have faded. My skin tone looks more even too. Sorry for the long comment haha.
@@Hdidbi_3049 thank you so much
Teenage me is grateful that I have Cassandra to almost solve all my problems
Me hoping im just purging 😭
Where you ? Same fear here lol
my skin is the worst it's ever been in my life right now. I'm using facial acids (going to switch to Retinoids when I see the derm next month). The areas where I wasn't erupting before as insanely smooth and luminous. I'm two weeks into the purge. Another way you can tell it isn't a normal breakout is by the length of time the new breakouts last. Purge pimples will go away in a few days, an opposed to 5-8 for normal acne. I can't leave the house right now but it's worth it - I suffer from so many closed comedones. There are few things more satisfying than seeing blackheads that have been stuck for ten years melting away! Worth the pain! Stay strong y'all 😔✊
Chickadee Emily Good luck :( stay strong..
Chickadee Emily good luck girl, you’ll see improvements and the wait will be worth it :) hey don’t forget to wear sunscreen or at least an spf tho even if ur staying inside ❤️
i think purging lasts more than a couple of days. maybe for some people.
Omg same. My cheek area is glowing and plump but my forehead and chin look really bad rn.
@@dianne.c hey did urs get better ?
I’m one of the women who breakout like a crazy when I first taking birth control pills. Took me like 6 months until everything settled and now my skin is definitely less oily (still but a lot less) and not having crazy huge pimples anymore which I’m happy enough. But the thing is, it makes you depressed like really bad. Talk to your GP before taking this medication is the best way.
I have hormonal acne so no matter what, I will have acne on my face, but what my goal is to minimize the damage my acne will cause like darkening and scarring and remove existing damage so that I can look somewhat even
She is right, i Never suffered from acne, never moisturized, just washed my face and that was all, fortunately my skin didn’t look bad then I decided well I’m getting much older I’m in my 50s I really need to start moisturizing and keeping my skin looking good before it goes downhill so I started using the products that Dray and Cassandra recommended and I started getting this little pimples but I know that those pimples is not a reaction it’s actually purging my skin because after a while they go away
Hello after two years! How did it go?
I’ve started a new skincare routine (I actually didn’t have one in the first place 😭, i would just wash my face with a face wash that turned out to be bad for skin anyways). I’m not even a week into the skincare routine and my forehead has broke out like crazy, pimples will disappear in a few days but then new ones will pop up in a different area 😂 after watching this video I can guarantee that it’s skin purging and I can’t believe I have to wait a month to expect it to be gone 😭😭😭
Did it go away?
christy k there definitely is a major difference! I still have a few little pimples on my forehead, only about 4. Which is a difference as my forehead was completely covered in them especially in my T-zone section. Just keep sticking to the routine and it should go away, if it doesn’t then you may have to stop a product/routine to determine what is causing you to break out x
I would suggest finding out your skin type first before choosing products. Then when introducing products, do that one by one when starting a routine and start with the basics like a cleanser, then add in a moisturizer and then a sunscreen. When you find the right combination of those products for your skin, the add in a toner (after cleansing) or a serum but remember a toner and serum are not essential, especially for teen skin. Even if all these skincare gurus are doing using the extras, like toners, essences and serums etc, remember they are older.
Random Rose thank you so much for replying !! how long did it take for the break out calm down?
Anna Same thank you for the suggestions, however I was already aware of this knowledge ☺️ my new skincare routine is only the basics of just cleanser, moisturiser and sunscreen, along with an oil based cleanser and serum at night x
I love her so much! Because she directly get to the point. No need intro. Haha
I love the science
Mushi Mushi I love that you love it! Thanks for being here and willing to explore the science of it all!🦋
Bless you. 😚 I don't have that much acne and just wanted to have a proper skin care routine. So I went to this spa and they skin care techs sold me the products 'i need'... Now, i am seeing these small pimples pop out of my skin. Now, i'll just give myseld about a month for these products. Thanks!
The good side to this quarantine is I can atleast wear my face mask when I go out to cover up this terrible purge.
Same but I feel like my mask is making me breakout but I have to wear it at work and I still want to wear it in public
@@Julhi_Verma19 I still am wearing a face mask because I'm just ugly without it.
The fact this video was free is insane lol. So much good information thank you!
i purged like crazy when i started birth control!!! such a crazy thing!
itsmechandler ahh I can imagine!! Birth control can have a major impact on the oil production and skin, which feeds those bacteria! Has it gotten better yet? Please keep us updated on your skin progress! Sending you hugs!!! 🦋
same! i still i got the scars
Was different in my case. It stopped my acne and when i stopped birth control i breakout like crazy lol
I broke out awfully due to starting the pill and I’m scared that my skin won’t get any better😫
I’ve started using the Microfoliant, and I think my skin is purging. Cause my skin is radiant but on the surface there’s so many bumps (I have acne prone/sensitive/oily skin)
Thank you sooo much for the skincare science!! I'm definitely guilty of being impatient when it comes to purging vs breaking out- my skin is sensitive so I naturally assume i'm just breaking out and then quick using the product a few days later! This is the first time i'm holding out on a product which is TO's Niacinamide (saw a couple of people on here say the same) and while i'm not breaking out all over, i've gotten an active blemish or a few every other day. So not MAJOR but still something. I'll give it another week or 2 before I make my decision! ♥
This helped me understand so much! I literally have been on TH-cam for the last 2 hours looking at skincare routines thinking am I supposed to do that? Will that work? Because I woke up this morning with skin peeling from my new prescription acne solutions I started like 3 days ago, and I was seriously thinking “okay this isn’t working” but when you explained purging and giving a product especially a prescription it’s 28 day chance to work I was like omg I never knew that! I wish my dermatologist explained that science of the skin to me that it’s just everything coming up, like the worst before better thing you said. Thank you for making these videos and helping my acne prone anxiety lol. I feel better and will stick with my routine and see how I look after the purging. :)
Was it purge and did your skin get better ?
Great video Cassandra as always. I hope you've had an uptake on that patch testing video. I was watching another youtuber using the AHA BHA Peel from the ordinary the other day and they had done it WITHOUT patch testing. She said that it really burner her skin within seconds and hurt badly (may have been overstatement as her skin had no redness next day by the looks of it). A lot of her viewers had the same reaction and stopped but after watching her video they were all talking about tolerating the burn for the after effects. I commented on almost every one of those comments with a recommendation that they visit your video on patch testing before doing it. It seemed to me like they were all reacting badly but ready to go again. I told them that their face could explode in blisters if it's too harsh so I really and truly hope that they have checked out the video first instead of marring themselves for life with a strong acid. I'm a week into skincare today. My face is starting to come up in little red patches (not itchy or irritating - didn't know they were there until I looked in the mirror) but I think that's actually from facial hair removal and not the treatments. However, I've been watching so many of your videos I was expecting a purge so didn't freak. That's why I love your channel. Even at my age (nearing 50) I'm still learning so much. Thank you so much Cassandra. You've really been a beacon of information for me in learning how to look after my skin and what it needs. As we say here in Ireland - you're a wee star and don't ever let anyone tell ya different!
I just started using the ordinary aha 30% and I think I’m purging from it, hopefully that is the case because I’m really loving how the texture of my skin looks when I apply makeup, as well as it leaving my face extremely soft.
drdrayaa me too
Natheema Kathoon did it go
christy k yes I guess ☺️ I have oily skin but I don’t get pimples or acne. So I cannot say how it works. I can see improvement in the blackheads on my nose
Wow this is so true! I just use a facial wash contained with AHA & BHA and my skin was breaking out after just a couple times using that. It makes me think that it isn't working for me. So I stopped. After a month I came back to it because I ran out my usual face wash, and I use it again. My skin never been betterrr
about a week ago i started doing the one minute oil cleanse method and a few days ago my skin started breaking out horribly. i’m so glad i’ve been binging your videos lately because i came across this at just the right time.
Me tooooo. Ugh I got a lot of pimples around my nose and eyebrows.. hoping it's just a phase 🥲
I'm 99.9% sure my skin is purging but im so anxious bdbdbbdbd
I know boys don't do much on skincare but i tried so many skincare routine and it keeps me breakout. If i went to clinic and consume antibiotic for the rest of my life it's nearly ruined me and it costs alot of money. So I decided to try out products from Simple . I'm well prepared for purging. I hope it will treat my face and not breakout again.
I am new to both skin care and your channel and I am so very grateful I found it! You are an amazing tutor and an example to all influencers on how to do it!
I am in awe on how well you explain every topic in a way that is easy to understand.
Thank you very much!
From where is your Necklace? I had one exactly the same my husband bought me when We were in our honeymoon in Italy.. I lost it and till now trying to know the brand’s name.. it was real gold
PERFECT TIMING! thank you so much! I started AHA and niacinamid 2 weeks ago. I have had the best skin in years, but today i noticed more oily skin and All that comes with it. .. I Was freaking out AND was so sad i was about to throw out My New expensive products away and go back to acceoting semi-ok skin :( now i Will wait a couple more weeks and have Hope in Nice skin!
So purging does make skin oilier?Thank God! I thought I was doing something wrong with my skin care.
How’s your skin now?
How’d it go? Plz respond I just ordered aha and the Niacinamide
Talile you can
TheGeetjwm93 OMG I THOUGHT I JUST THE ONLY ONE HAHAHAH my skin is breaking out freaking bad n feel so oily when i wake up in the morning, i stop using the niacinimide for 2 days now, but after i saw this vid i will keep using it and be patience with it😂
That was incredibly helpful! Just started a skin care routine and started to see my acne appear more substancially! I fell educated about it now and will wait the 28 days and see! Thank you so much 😊
how is ur skincare going?
You uploaded this just at the right time it’s honestly like you read my mind sometimes! I’ve used niacinamide for the first time tonight and I’m very nervous about what’s going to happen! Skin has been getting worse for the last couple of months, oily and seemingly a new spot everyday when I never used to have any problems other than a bit of dryness so fingers crossed!
I know this is a whole 3 years later, but I'm desperate. Did it end up going away when you kept using the product?
When I began using the glycolic acid face wash my dermatologist suggested, my skin freaked out for two months! But after that initial purge, the face wash is my skin’s best friend and I don’t know how i ever lived without it.
I am loving your science based, factual approach to skincare!
I've was wondering if you had a video that could give me some insight as to why I continually break out in exactly the same spot!? This has been happening for years. Depending on the location, it's usually small closed condomones or larger cystic spots that will stay raised and inflamed for weeks. I would love any insight you could give me? 😁
I just started differin gel 2 days ago AND YOU TELEPATHICALLY KNEW. THANK YOU!
Why is it that you always make these videos at such a perfect time? Are you spying on me? If you are, I'm ok with that! My skin's fairy godmother.
This video seriously just helped me so much! I just started using the ordinary products and my jawline area is started to become a bit flaky and I was so worried but now I’m glad to know this is normal!! I haven’t gotten any red bumps yet but I hope this clears up nicely and these products do wonders!
Thank you SO much! I've suffered from hormonal acne since puberty. I'm in my 30's now and just started the Ordinary's Granactive Retinoid, and it's breaking me out so bad! I panicked and stopped using it, but now, I feel better about starting it back up and hoping for the best! 😮
I'm so happy I came across this!! I've been using The Ordinary's niacinamide and I'm not 100% on it just because I don't know if I'm purging or breaking out. I use it every PM along with my tretinoin to treat my acne and it seems to work thanks to the tretinoin, but I don't know if my skin likes niacininamide. I used it once alone without the tretinoin and I started to some acne. The other comments here mentioned niacinamide breaking them out, but they stuck through and it worked. I hope this is part of the "it gets worse before it gets better"!!
I've just started the same product 3 days ago and I'm purging like crazy, has yours stopped yet??
Sorcha Out It's calming down! I think it takes a while for the skin to decide whether it works for you and I'm slowly seeing improvements. I read on Reddit that Zinc can be an issue too so I thought about maybe looking into Paula's Choice niacinamide since I heard PC's achieve better results for those who "suffered" with The Ordinary's.
@@heatherrfeatherrrle oh that's helpful thank you! I'm gonna keep going with it for the moment and see how my skin reacts and then look into Paula's choice if I need to !
Katy C For TO's, it lasted 3 weeks for me to the point where I had to use it every other night. I'm currently trying The Inkey List's niacinamide and I feel my skin loves this version more than TO's, but I still get small breakouts (not as much as when I was using TO's). However, the breakout could also be from wearing a face mask during this covid era since it traps in oil and moisture which my acne-prone skin is not loving.
Overall, I'm relying on patience right now before discarding niacinamide completely from my routine. I know it's a skincare favorite ingredient and I do see some improvements. Hopefully in another month I can have a more definite stance.
you're the first person I actually understood when they were talking about skin purging
I love your explanation it makes everything so simple to understand
This video is everything. I just started wearing makeup every day at the age of 32 and I want to make sure I take care of my skin. So I started using Cetaphil and it made me break out in bumps as soon as I washed it off. I was truly about to call this produce off. Now understand, I’m the one that only washes my face with water so this is new. But knowing that it’s a process, changes everything. I know what to look for now. I’m forever grateful for this Video. Thank you♥️
LOVE YOUR VIDEOS GIRL!!! I Can't believe I haven't watched this before now!! Thank you for making this video! I am definitely reactive to Hyaluronic acid and Niacinamide! I started with Cerave and Ordinary products. Its been over a month and I can not put even one product on without hives/irritation ! Even using just pure HA acid serum causes inflammation to my cheeks!
i've been using nacinamide for a week and I was soo worried of all he purging, now I'm having some patience. after a long scrolling down to youtube recommendation, here I landed. thank you. this was really helpful!
Update ? Did ur skin get better ?
Thank you so much! I was thinking of giving up using paulas choice bha liquid since it’s breaking out my skin after using it for almost two weeks. I’m gonna stick with it for two more weeks before I give up. 🤞
how is your skin now
Thank you so much for teaching us the theory behind it in such detail! Understanding what’s going on makes me feel so much better about my purge 🥰
I started using the Aztec Indian clay mask and I started to breakout because of it😭 I hope my skin will get better
I know I’m late to comment, but you have such a clear and easy way of explaining this. I can tell you have a passion for skin care
Thank you for taking the time to approach this from a scientific perspective. Love this, hope you have a great day xx
This reminded me of me taking Accutane. The first like 3 months my acne was WAY WAY worse but then all of a sudden, boom, nothing, it all just went away over the course of a week or 2.
cassie!! would you be able to do a video on the science of korean skincare and how it works / or achieving 'glass skin'? like if it is worth all that time and money in the long run for the health and look of the skin? (ps. your vid came at a right time by the way!
Just be Asian
this has made me feel so much better. i reacted wrong with a product and it gave me acne but i realise it was probably just cleaning everything away.
I’m acne prone, so I’m bracing for a pretty big purge as I start slowly adding new stuff into my routine. But once I’ve determined that it is indeed purging, not a reaction, what’s the best way to care for it? Should I be backing off any other products that are a little harsh? Should I start incorporating a calming, moisturizing mask once or twice a week? Or should I just continue on, business as usual?
I've bought a sebamed cleanser months ago and my skin started getting dry and flaky around my nose and mouth area...
I thought it was because my skin was allergic to the product but now I know..
Thanks a lot for the information ❤️☺️
I LOVE how informative your videos are. Keep doing you Cassandra. This is great stuff xxx
This is the best video I have seen on the internet which can precisely explain the difference between purging and breakouts.Thanks alot
You are an absolute Dynamo in every video and you hit the mark every time...i would love to see you do a Vid on Salicylic Acid.. retinol and retinoid since it's usually prescription and retinol is a weaker version..im curious to know if The Ordinary can fair well with the prescription or "strongest" blackhead killer..lol🤗
I am here just because after starting completely new skincare routine I have a lot of happening on my skin🙈 so now I am to gradually add treatments, hope everything will be fine in a month.
Cassandra: “This is a section of your skin”
Me: the heck, put it back!!
So at 31 I finally decided I needed a skincare routine and starting cleansing and moisturizing every day...and now I have full blown acne for the first time in my LIFE. Should I start over and treat my skin like it has a damaged barrier before trying to heal the acne? Nothing is working so I found your channel and now I'm here doing research 🤓🤩 I'd either like to try this, or the Phyla system you recommend.
Lovely Cassandra. You’ve always been so on point with the science of it!!
I love you so much, you are so infomative educational and calming😁 I was freaking out a lilttle bit, cause Ive started with ordinary products, and things turned around, my skin is breaking out, and is more red in some places, its like little red inflamed bumps its not the big cystic ones. I wast sure if its purging, but now I am quite positive. Thank you, keep making these educational videos, they are awesome😊
Dana Reháková i think i am having the same experience. I have the red inflamed bumps and the forehead was breaking out. I am just started using it and I trying it give it more time. I think i also made it mistake of applying too much

@@CassandraBankson Love the video btw 😍 I just HAD to comment about the thumbnail 😂 I love how your videos aren't like "products selling videos" but more educational and encouraging to do our own research 😍 So glad I found you again 💜💜
I TRUST THIS GIRL WITH MY LIFE !
Will you ever be making a video surrounding the deva curl situation? I thought it may be a correlating topic
amy wortz Ahh hey girlie excellent question! To be honest I really don’t know much about it. It’s a product that I’m not very familiar with and have never tried, but the science is interesting… What’s hard is that we don’t know what these other beautiful women were using. Perhaps it was only the product, or perhaps the product was reacting to something else in their routines. It’s a really tough call. Overall I think the brand is handling it very unprofessionally nonetheless
@@CassandraBankson Personally, I ONLY used the SuperCream for about 6 years and only last March or so and all of last year started experiencing insane amounts of hair loss, and I mean insane, like bowl of spaghetti visual every time I washed my hair, crazy matting, loss of density, so stupid me decided to wash my hair less; well I will let you figure it out... yes, I lost more, since now I understand it was sitting in my hair longer. I went to color my hair in November, hairdresser freaked out, sent me to the doctor's all my blood work was normal, was placed in hair vitamins 3x per day, and I opted to do Keratin and go straight. Since now I was not curling my hair as much, hair loss, breakouts in scalp and itching diminished, except I was opting to curl it once in awhile in the last month and the matting begun IMMEDIATELY, itching, and luckily for me and many.... the shitstorm broke - and I am so glad it did!!!!!!! I am 6 days in of NO DevaCurl, and intense treatments - and YES my hair feels so much smoother, curls are starting to bounce, and no itching!!!!!!!!
**** Might be unsolicited but another perspective, I think that is why this is different than Wen - I DO wash my hair with normal (Aveda & Olaplex) shampoo!!!!!!
Thank you for the feedback cassandra! I didnt know if that topic would be in your scope of expertise, i really love the explaination of the science behind all of your content! I found you from when the jaclyn hill lipstick debauchery went down and loved all the knowledge that you shared and continue to share, keep up the good work!❤️
Thanks for this !! I haven’t used any new products but I’ve gotten a really bad breakout!! I’ve never had this bad of a breakout this bad since I was like 16 I’m now 21 and feel absolutely horrible
this was awesome. Loved the skin diagram. This was like a textbook coming to life in a good way lol.
Thank you very much for sharing such an important information, Cassandra! You are my favourite youtuber/aesthetician! Because of your knowledge shared on every platform, I learn to know my skin better. Lots of love from India 💕
Thank you for sharing this knowledge you helped so many of us so grateful to have someone like you on this platform!!
So skin purge is normal when I use a new product
I don’t even care if I’m just purging but it’s been over week and I’m just getting constant new pimple everywhere. Like never before. It’s very depressing gl
Kali Marie Has your skin gotten better now?
how is your skin now ?
update?
Same 💀🤙
It takes 28 days for skin to renew, sometimes 6-8 weeks or 2 months for the purging to last. Patience is key. But it's your skin, your choice. ☺️
I started using paulas choice BHA exfoliant (replacing neutrogena benzoyl peroxide spot acne treatment) and klairs moisturizer it shockingly is breaking me out..and giving me red bump specially in jawline area...lets see for 1 month and I will update.
did it end up working I am using it now and it’s only been about a week and my skin is so bad!
A VIDEO WE NEEDED AND DESERVED!
7th day on my ACV toner testing And I am having breakouts. I calmed down after watching this. Thanks.
I used salicylic acid from April till June this year and just stared again a little over a week ago. The first time I started I didn’t notice it getting worse but my skin was already worse than it had ever been before. Right now it’s about as bad as it was in March and April. My skin didn’t start breaking out till my second use of the acid which was 5 days after my first use. I’m also getting a little bit of acne on my chest and back (where I didn’t put any acid) but it’s not uncommon for me to have random breakouts there. My acne is all over my face but it’s the worst on the right side of my face specifically my cheek(that side of my face is usually worse but not this part of my cheek). The pimples are tender and red they are relatively flat for their size, most don’t have any visible pus and the majority don’t have a visible head. I just started my period which could be the cause but that doesn’t usually effect my skin much. I have been sleeping better than usual but I have been more stressed than usual this past week. If anybody knows what I should do please help. I’m also in my early teen years if that makes a difference. Thank you to anyone who took the time to read this even if you can’t help I still appreciate it.
Howd it go
?
Cerave is doing this to me right now. I'm using both the cleanser and moisturizer, which had me worried af. I'm thinking of switching to Garnier if my skin does not improve in 28 days. Thank you for the vid that gave me this insight 💖😭👍
"So you don't fall apart in the shower... Not a good idea"
Me, having regular existential crises in the shower: Interesting 🤔
Im thankful to know abouy skin purging just now . I recently change my skin care products and i start to feel new breakouts in my face , also earlier i can see flakes and my faxe is dry . Im very scared because i domt want my face to become worse like when i was young . Im really scared
can’t believe I was about to give up on the product already!!🙈🤦🏻♀️
when i started using niacinamide i purged by flaking realllll bad. it’s honestly made such a difference in my pores and skin, so i’m not complaining too much.
I returned a retinol product this week and now I know it was probably great and my skin was just purging :(
Tanika C try the ordianry retinol. I love it and definitely noticed a difference. Ever since I started using it my my boyfriend always says how soft my skins feels :)
Lord, finally, someone who created a legit differentiation of skin purging and acne. Thank you so much, Cassandra.
I actually had a purge using AHA serum, and after that, my skin is now glowing. Will try the Ordinary: Niacinamide. Does anyone experience purging too?
Kristine Rico hi :) I've actually just started using the Lactic Acid Peel from the Oskia brand, it's just been a week and some new whiteheads have appeared and it's so frustratinggg, they're not painful at all tho but I guess this is jus part of the process :(
émilie jolie thats already give it a few weeks. That means your skin is pushing out all the dirt. I switched to The Ordinary Niacinamide today. Hoping to have a better result.
émilie jolie hey did the whiteheads disappear ??
This was a really great and informative video, I started using Lush products last year october and it broke me out constantly for 2 months, I kept thinking it was purging (it wasn't) and the moment i stopped, my skin started healing! I recently started using Niacinamide and got a bit worried that my skin is going to become a mess again but this video really put me at ease :D i even remembered to patch test lol
2:48 they better start paying rent if they wanna start behaving like that 😭
Im using this niacinamide product and for the first month, I'm like "hehe lucky me, no purging"
3weeks later, *looks in the mirror* UH NOOO!༎ຶ‿༎ຶ
My face: 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴
Why is that? ಥ‿ಥ
Brilliant! Thanks for the information. Really wonderful need to know stuff. You’ve helped me clarify what I’ve been thinking is a breakout actually most likely purging. Much appreciated, I’ll go a bit gently and trust.
This actually happens to me my face looks so glowy and my skin had never been better but the fungal acne came and i hit rock bottom again . For the fungal acne it didnt came from what im using i found this oil cleanising thing on the internet and tried . Bad decision
I know I’m late to the game but this video gave me life. So informative and helped me understand lots about the inner working of the skin. Keep em comin!
LOVED IT!!!! I have been trying to research this issue for weeks as I just started retinol at 52, you answered ALL of my questions and doubts!!! 😎👏🏻
***** Would you do an in-depth video about Korean skincare?? It is fascinating... and the price point!!!! Thanks! *****
Oh God this girl has my heart . Thanku so much for educting us ❣❣ Sending you loads of love and prayers
