How many days does it take you to try a new skincare routine. Like say if I was had a skincare routine for about a month and didnt like it , could I just jump in straight away with a new skincare routine, like the next day? Or should I give my skin time to breathe before I start a new skincare routine?
@Kris R CeraVe is now paraben free. You might see that as a plus; I don't. I'm a hobbyist cosmetic formulator, and my research convinces me parabens are safe and effective. I'm not trying to convince anyone else, as Cassandra says, "turn and learn". However, when CeraVe removed the parabens, they completely reformulated. The Hydrating Cleanser, which my face loved, now stings, burns and squeaks - I had to return it. When I compared the ingredients with m old bottle, I saw they lowered the amounts of the ingredients my face liked and increased the ones I don't like. I'm trying to dupe the formula, no luck so far.
Hi beyoutiful!!! ☀️♥️ Thank you so much for all of your precious videos!!! I wonder if you would try this natural products that is a little bit expensive, ☺️ but just like 5,90€ for a day and night face cream made by natural Bulgarian clay and Bulgarian rose water. I used them at now by 6/7 months and I really have to say that mi skin is lit and thankfull when i got it. Im so curios to see what can be your thoughts about this products and if you will like it and used like I do. www.cosmeticsbulgaria.com/product/hidratirasht-dneven-krem-za-lice-s-naturalna-huma-i-bio-rozova-voda-za-suha-koja-avia/
There's a brand called Skin Functional in South Africa that has THE BEST stuff for really affordable. I wish more people know about them because they're not that popular Edit: they're cruelty free, have good ingredients and for fragrance sensitive people they're completely fragrance free
I'm from South Africa and I'm glad we have a brand like this here because the ordinary is so difficult to get and with shipping and customs its just so convenient
Honestly I'm kind of relieved that the pH of the 'peel' was too close to your skins pH rather than too acidic. I was terrified that you'd get severe chemical burns from it 😅
Me, a New Zealander, who gets most of my skincare through prescription (Differin, Aqueous Cream, Fatty cream etc...) and therefore has it all subsidised down to exactly NZ$5 to begin with, and then knocked down to free thanks to the pharmacy I use: 😮😮😮
I realized this comment was 3 years old, but if you still work with people on fixed income you HAVE TO check out Dr. Dray's series reviewing dollar tree skincare and beauty products. She talks about what common ingredients to avoid and I've used those as a guide when shopping for myself at the dollar tree and everywhere else.
I use that dollar store salicylic acid wash for my back. It’s hard to find a good body wash to help with backacne, yet I can always find this product. I wouldn’t use it in my face, but don’t mind it for my back. And I keep a tube of that horrid sunscreen in my car. That way I can put it on the back of my hands if I need to reapply & am away from home. No sunspots & I am over 50!
Great content Cassandra! This is a really big issue in Latin America. Here skin care is inaccessible to many people and also we don’t have good self care culture. It is very sad :( hopefully influencers like you can attract attention to this issues.
That 2nd face-stripping "cleanser" and the gigantic nose bubble it made had me in literal tears 😂 I was lmao because it just kept getting bigger and bigger, but crying for your acid mantle. 😭 So long, moisture barrier. 😳
my skincare routine used to be 3 steps that was around 10 dollars, the simple foaming cleanser, the walgreens version of the aveeno lotion and a walgreens sunscreen, the lotion and sunscreen was like 2.50 which was amazing since i was on a MEGA budget as a highschool student. i still use those products since now im a broke collage student
We use the sun block from the dollar tree in my family because it is affordable, comes in a small bottle, and gets the job done. Oddly, it can be found at tjmaxx or marshalls for like $8.
I use some dollar tree beauty products and love them! The oil free acne wash is a great alternative to the Neutrogena brand. (I've used both, a lot). Literally, there's actually a ton of fantastic skin care products at dollar tree, all you got to do is read the ingredient list and you'll be surprised on what you can find.
I use the Dermasil! Ironically I have sensitive infection prone skin. And so many of the Target or Walgreens shelf options rip my skin. Even Clinique or some Olay makes me break out. But this one, this one ... I like it. Used it for a couple years! Was just too embarrassed to tell you Hahaha. Not fantastic but gets the job done, a dollar, and zero break outs!! The sun screen I have used on my body a lot. My face it makes me break out ... but otherwise works good. :-)
I used the dermasil oil free night and day face moisturizer from the dollar tree and I like them because I don't wake up with oil drenching my face lol
@@lisarandolph Right! They are so effective and non greasy! I love having both on back up all the time so anytime I spend the night somewhere or I know I have an event the next day. I know the dermasil won’t break me out 😊.
The Dollar Tree has a retinol serum and a HA/Vitamin C serum and they both look promising and have good ingredients! For months I have been hoping someone would review them! Why couldn't your store have had them in stock?!?! Ahhhh!!! 😱😭
I’ve tried out the HA + vit C one and I actually really enjoyed it. It was hydrating, didn’t break me out, and no fragrance so I’m super happy with it!
oh god I would be too scared to try cheap dupes of skin care products! In my country we don't have affordable skin care stores like The Ordinary or Inkey List but they have become so trendy that local stores have started to manufacture their own formulas and is a big NO for me 💀 thank you but I don't want to burn me face off.
Okay, I do love to get Vasoline petroleum jelly from the dollar store for my under eyes. Been doing that for years and I’ve never had any dark circles, dryness, or puffiness. Works better than some eye serums
We are lucky to have decent low budget skin care brands here in German drugstores, especially one called Balea med which is completely targeted towards people with allergies and sensitive skin. No perfume/fragrance, but beautiful soothing ingredients like panthenol and urea, everything under 5,00 EUR. Nothing fancy, but for poor folks like me, it's a blessing.
I actually buy the balea urea foot cream everytime I'm visiting Austria. I stock up, love that stuff! I haven't tried much else, but next time I can travel I'll get more. I do notice a lot of stuff in DM is cheaper than the counterparts in the US. Especially things like deodorant!
@@gabitzakissy No, I haven't. I'll have to try the tea tree one next time I can travel back to Europe. Last time I was there was Christmas 19 and found one DM in Italy and had to stop there. They aren't very plentiful where I was staying.
You are one brave girl I’m cringing here as a sensitive skin sufferer but very informative and a bit funny I’m in Australia and we have Sukin Skincare which is similar price to The Ordinary and really good quality I’ve used for years but recently bit the bullet and trying an Ordinary regime so far very happy with the products I’ve tried
YEAHHH maybe she will discover that the ones on alibaba are fake? Or are they actually the same omg i wanna know even though im never gonna buy my skin care there 😂
Yea i wish she would compare the Kenzzi to the ones off Aliexpress. Cuz ive seen lots of comments saying they are the same and that the Kenzzi is a scam.
There's SO many things I've tried/seen from my dollar tree I would love to hear your opinion on that wasn't there! "Skin nutritions" for one, (retinol serum & Hyaluronic acid serum) and "Global Beauty Care" 's entire line! I mean they have this gold gel face mask (not the peeling one!) that I swear by, seems to have great ingredients, vitamin A C & E, and it's only $1!! But global Beauty Care alone has enough products that I'm sure many people would love to know more about! Not sure what is and isn't cruelty free or vegan exactly though. Love you Cass! Another awesome video so far!
I really enjoy the Skin Nutritions Hyaluronic Acid Serum! I find it works well for my dry, textured skin. I love that it has vit. C, & it's actually part of my daily routine. I've also tried the retinol serum, and found it to be pretty gentle & non-irritating. I can't speak to it's effectiveness, since I didn't use it consistently or for a long enough period of time.
actually here in germany drugstores have quite a few decent vegan cruelty free basic products under 5€. Like basic moisturizers, serums etc. No actives, but I mean for just the basic steps that's not too bad. Also one of my favourite sunscreens is actually 3,50€ and from the drugstore.
Welche Sonnencreme ist das denn? Ich such ständig nach guten Sonnencremes aber ausser der roten von paediprotect findet man nichts was keinen krassen Whitecast hat
@@seraphinasenkmuller7792 das ist von der Eigenmarke von dm das Sun Dance sensitiv fluid, kommt in so ner Tube mit 50 oder 30 ml, die ist weiß mit türkisem Deckel und so türkisen Korallen oder sowas drauf
If you do decide to do this again you might wanna try checking out big lots. You could be surprised at the amount of product they have there for cheap.
I actually buy some skincare products at a pharmacy ,like retinoid creams,vitamin c and etc. It's much cheaper this way and I can get the actual thing, without additives and fragrances. Your videos also help me to pick out what ingredients I can get for certain skin problems
I am a massive fan of dermasil! I have the day and night moisturizer. I would compare it to Cerave or cetaphil, I used to use those in the past. I also use the big tube of the plain body lotion and their plain body wash. I have oily and acre prone skin on my face and body. It works for me and it’s extremely affordable. They also sell dermasil at target.
I love cheap but you usually have to accept diminishing returns so not everything can justify that. A gentle cleanser yeah, a good retinol or vitamin C? Probably not. Thanks for doing the leg work.
Why not try products from Marshalls, Tjmax or Burlington rather than buying things from iffy websites 99% of people haven't heard of and would never risk even testing? Dollar Tree stuff is a good test but those iffy websites aren't because most won't buy from them
Marshalls and TJ MAXX are awesome, but for anything you want specifically, I go with eBay. Of course you have to be mindful with any eBay purchase, check the country it's coming from, make sure it's not china, such as the ordinary and la roche posay products I ordered from WISH. Omg they were horribly fake. And check for expiration date in the listing, if there is none, but you're worried about it being old, you can email any skin care company and ask them to decipher ANY batch code. Most companies won't share HOW to read it but they will tell you if you're product is unsafe or not, even if it's after expiration. Some things can be used long after, such as cleanser's.
Dermasil has been around for a really long time. It used to be expensive and you could only get in pharmacies. It's pretty much the only decent thing at Dollar Tree. Some of the Bolero things aren't bad. I do like the skin polish for my legs and arms. I like their Facial gel too, it just smells nice and I use it more to relax than skin care, if that makes sense...lol. It's a sensory thing for me. :)
@@Winterliebende ich bin zwar nicht die von dem Kommentar aber incipedia finde ich super wenn's um skincare geht, sie macht zwar auch makeup Videos aber hauptsächlich Hautpflege (sie hat auch eine gute eigene Marke falls du an guter Naturkosmetik ohne Parfum und viele irritierende inhaltsstoffe interessiert bist)
The one thing I’ve never try to buy it for a cheaper price is skincare. Cheap quality and even counterfeit skincare products can be dangerous to your skin. That’s why I buy it from trustable websites and sellers.
Two of my absolute favorite affordable brands are Rohto and BCL. I never seek our products based on brand, but I always just happen to buy products from these brands.
Actually, Nicky didn't try yhat Foundation. They used her likeness in that video. She mentioned it in one of her videos. Btw: You looked really pretty with your glasses on and hair up.
You can find under $5 skincare at Target, Walmart, and 5 Below. A lot of it is the drugstore skincare brands in mini travel sized containers. However Walmart has its own exclusive skincare brands that do dupes/budget versions of popular products & trends (Equate, Cleen) and so does Target (Up & Up, Smartly) if you want to do a followup video talking about them. Dunno if they're cruelty free or not.
My mom has purchased and used the Dermasil several times before and loved it, and when I tried it I liked it too. I couldn't tell you if it's like CeraVe or Cetaphil but I can tell you it's a good product.
I grew up with Dermasil. It was used in hospitals, and Dr.s offices. If used regularly it will soften elbows and knees enough to lighten the rough knees children get from playing on asphalt. It was at one time expensive bit it's in the Dollar stores. This stuff can heal rough feer put it generously on then cover with sicks for at least an hour. It is best used on bare skin.
That foundation that was on Nikki tutorials is actually on AliExpress. Please please try some skin care or make up from AliExpress. I don’t know why but you remind me of Daryl Hannah. Dying your hair blonde could be a look for you. LOL
Walgreens has this amazing sunscreen with zinc oxide that is oxybenzone free, fragrance free and oil free! It comes in a purple tube and is called “50 Sensitive Skin” is $2.99 but has been a part of buy one get one half off specials a lot
God I understand the STRUGGLE of finding cruelty free/vegan brands. Luckily online shopping has made it much easier to verify, but I’ve absolutely googled the brand before in the store.
When I wake up to your videos 😍😍 my entire day just gets better. Once again....hats off to your dedication and hardwork behind every single video. Thank you Cassandra😍❤Loadz of love❤
what is wrong with Dove bar soap, esp the sensitive skin bar that has no fragrance??? can you pulleeeeze explain. I began using it 3 years ago after giving up my expensive organic soap and believe it or not, my skin feels better and looks better. thank you Diane
I use a ponds foaming face wash from the dollar store & absolutely love it. It’s so creamy and makes your skin feel so nice. And it’s $1 so that’s always nice too 😂 I’m at the beginning of the video but I really hope you found this at your dollar tree and try it out. I’d love to hear your thoughts on it.
The Dermasil body cream has been nice for me. I have used it and liked it off and on for years depending on budget. I have not tried the other items. Not planning to try them except the liquid acne orange soap. Maybe. Also gonna try the smaller tube of Demasil shown. Thanks for this brave information.
Walgreens zinc clear sunscreen is awesome and around $4, not sure about the cruelty free vegan though. I pair it with the australian gold botanicals spf 50 and got my perfect finish
Cass, that ph tester you have is making my fingers tingle. 👀 Would you consider pH testing popular products to check if they are at the research-backed pH needed for the active ingredient to work? Eg: Naturium TXA serum, Hada Labo arbutin lotion (please!), etc.
Your black mouse ears headband make me so happy 😍😍😍 you’re literally precious and I love you so much Granted, they weren’t super effective, BUT you didn’t spend a ton of money so that’s a plus!
I freaking love glow recipes watermelon sleeping mask. I didn't think it was going to work out for me, but honestly I really love it. It's not an every week product, it's a treat and boy does it make my skin feel good
Giiiiirl, you missed the Skin Nutritions retinol serum and hyaluronic acid/vitamin C serum at the Dollar Tree. I'm loving them! I also really like the Global Beauty sheet masks, although I've been trying to move away from sheet masks lately. I love the Dermasil lotion in the larger tube (although it does contain petroleum).
omg hope you check out creme de skin nutritions from the dollar tree!! they have an awesome retinol serum and a hyalouronic acid serum. but then again i would totally stop using them if you said to LOL
In europe we have Cien (sold at Lidl supermarkets & online) and everything is pretty much under 5$. I prefer some of their products to more expensive ones I've tried!
I've used that Dermasil moisturizer from the Dollar Tree before and it worked well, but my ultimate goldmine, holy grail moisturizer that I SWEAR with MY LIFE by is the Creamy Petroleum Jelly from the Dollar Tree. I've used it on my face for over 15 years and it keeps it smooth and moisturized. I absolutely love it!
Under five I would say shop miss a is another sight to check or SHEIN they offer skincare also. I am not sure their products but they have some. Also five below where I live has really good skincare options
Your skin has such a natural healthy glow... You have natural demention, natural face highlights, naturally rosie cheeks and you can see your lips... Like who wouldnt trust what you had to say? Except for whats cruelty free. Honey can be good if its sourced with care. It can be really beneficial for bees who make too much honey.
As someone who is poor but would still like to have a healthy skin care routine. (I am 45 with sensitive combo skin. When I break out it is chin, nose area--especially between the nose and upper lip-- and occasionally my forehead. ) Can you do a video where you find products that WOULD work well that are $5 to $10? I would like to know what I can buy that is sort of affordable that would help with my skin.
Cassandra have you ever tried the Creme de Skin Nutritions Double Strength- Retinol Night Repair Serum or Creme de Skin Nutritions Hyaluronic Acid 1% + Vitamin C Serum? You should review those two products. I would be interested on what your opinion.
You, your personality, and your chancel gives me so much life. Wasn't a fan x years ago to be honest but wow you've grown so extremely in my eyes and you're my absolute favourite on RUclips. well, you and Hyram 😅. You're an absolutely fantastic young woman. Keep up the good work.
I was so worried for you during the first half of this video. I know a lot of companies private label and that there is a large markup in products. But that bring said there is so much crap out there. Things not made in good, clean factories. And a lot of countries don’t regulate ingredients (i.e. arsenic). Now, I don’t buy high end skin care, but I balance cost with what I’m looking for in my skincare.
Cassandra!!! Even though Cantonese and Mandarin are spoken differently, they are written the same!! That goes the same for all the dialects in China! XD Also would have liked it if you also mentioned patch testing new products even if you weren't!
Can we please turn 16:20 info a gif or a meme? Tiaaa.....

I've also tried the retinol serum, and found it to be pretty gentle & non-irritating. I can't speak to it's effectiveness, since I didn't use it consistently or for a long enough period of time.
actually here in germany drugstores have quite a few decent vegan cruelty free basic products under 5€. Like basic moisturizers, serums etc. No actives, but I mean for just the basic steps that's not too bad. Also one of my favourite sunscreens is actually 3,50€ and from the drugstore.
Welche Sonnencreme ist das denn? Ich such ständig nach guten Sonnencremes aber ausser der roten von paediprotect findet man nichts was keinen krassen Whitecast hat
@@seraphinasenkmuller7792 Das Sundance Sonnenfluid Sensitiv LSF50 ist ganz gut, ich habe es gerne verwendet, bis ich doch bei Purito gelandet bin.
Balea med has some great value products and they're even for sensitive skin 😍
@@seraphinasenkmuller7792 das ist von der Eigenmarke von dm das Sun Dance sensitiv fluid, kommt in so ner Tube mit 50 oder 30 ml, die ist weiß mit türkisem Deckel und so türkisen Korallen oder sowas drauf
@@awetistic5295 ja genau die meinte ich. Ich bevorzuge auch koreanische Sonnencremes aber ich benutz die trotzdem zwischendurch immernoch mega gern :)
Oof my sensitive ass would've burned for trying anything sus. Kudos to you Cassandra! Thank you for risking on burning your face off for us!
If you do decide to do this again you might wanna try checking out big lots. You could be surprised at the amount of product they have there for cheap.
I actually buy some skincare products at a pharmacy ,like retinoid creams,vitamin c and etc. It's much cheaper this way and I can get the actual thing, without additives and fragrances. Your videos also help me to pick out what ingredients I can get for certain skin problems
I am a massive fan of dermasil! I have the day and night moisturizer. I would compare it to Cerave or cetaphil, I used to use those in the past. I also use the big tube of the plain body lotion and their plain body wash. I have oily and acre prone skin on my face and body. It works for me and it’s extremely affordable. They also sell dermasil at target.
You are a brave woman Cassandra experimenting on your face with these products! Thanks for an informative and entertaining video ☺️
Can't believe you did this! You really love your viewers!
Nivea naturals and garnier has a natural range under 5 dollars each product. They are popular drugstore brands in UK.Please try them.
Who else is obsessed with this video! I love it you should totally do more WE LOVE YOU thank you for using your face 😘
"Feel this!"
"Can you feel this?!"
"Do you feel tha-oooh" 🤣🤣 no, we can't aha!
I love cheap but you usually have to accept diminishing returns so not everything can justify that. A gentle cleanser yeah, a good retinol or vitamin C? Probably not. Thanks for doing the leg work.
Sophia the first 😮
@@AD-cy4vj LOL, I am 6ft 1 so Her Royal Highness and not the true first since their have been Queen Sophias but details!
Why not try products from Marshalls, Tjmax or Burlington rather than buying things from iffy websites 99% of people haven't heard of and would never risk even testing?
Dollar Tree stuff is a good test but those iffy websites aren't because most won't buy from them
Marshalls is my jam!
More people will do it than you would think
That's a much better idea!!!
Marshalls and TJ MAXX are awesome, but for anything you want specifically, I go with eBay. Of course you have to be mindful with any eBay purchase, check the country it's coming from, make sure it's not china, such as the ordinary and la roche posay products I ordered from WISH. Omg they were horribly fake. And check for expiration date in the listing, if there is none, but you're worried about it being old, you can email any skin care company and ask them to decipher ANY batch code. Most companies won't share HOW to read it but they will tell you if you're product is unsafe or not, even if it's after expiration. Some things can be used long after, such as cleanser's.
Dermasil has been around for a really long time. It used to be expensive and you could only get in pharmacies. It's pretty much the only decent thing at Dollar Tree. Some of the Bolero things aren't bad. I do like the skin polish for my legs and arms. I like their Facial gel too, it just smells nice and I use it more to relax than skin care, if that makes sense...lol. It's a sensory thing for me. :)
Always have been curious about dollar tree skincare. There is so much skincare products at my local dollar tree. 🌲
You’re so brave for trying these products. I would never 😭
Catfish where? You’re so cute either way 😭
The nose bubbles and the squeaky face killed me ❤️😂
I would LOVE To see a dedicated video on dollar tree skincare when they are fully stocked! I’ve been tempted with dollar tree skincare before TBH.
Come to Germany! So easy to find good products under 5€ in the drugstores
Kennst du deutsche RUclipsr die wirklich gute Videos oder Hautpflege machen? Ich finde da so wenige bis niemanden 😂
*über Hautpflege
@@Winterliebende ich bin zwar nicht die von dem Kommentar aber incipedia finde ich super wenn's um skincare geht, sie macht zwar auch makeup Videos aber hauptsächlich Hautpflege (sie hat auch eine gute eigene Marke falls du an guter Naturkosmetik ohne Parfum und viele irritierende inhaltsstoffe interessiert bist)
That! And I just bought a large bottle of Cerave from my Apotheke for a tenner.
The one thing I’ve never try to buy it for a cheaper price is skincare. Cheap quality and even counterfeit skincare products can be dangerous to your skin. That’s why I buy it from trustable websites and sellers.
Gurl! Big ups to you for putting your acne-prone face through the ringer! 👏👏👏👏👏👏
Two of my absolute favorite affordable brands are Rohto and BCL. I never seek our products based on brand, but I always just happen to buy products from these brands.
Actually, Nicky didn't try yhat Foundation. They used her likeness in that video. She mentioned it in one of her videos.
Btw: You looked really pretty with your glasses on and hair up.
The moment when Cassandra testing out the PH of that RED serum, I was like 5.54? Are you kidding me? Lmao that’s not really an acid.
You can find under $5 skincare at Target, Walmart, and 5 Below. A lot of it is the drugstore skincare brands in mini travel sized containers.
However Walmart has its own exclusive skincare brands that do dupes/budget versions of popular products & trends (Equate, Cleen) and so does Target (Up & Up, Smartly) if you want to do a followup video talking about them. Dunno if they're cruelty free or not.
A five below video!!!!! Yessss
Obsessed w how frequently you’ve been uploading!!!
right I'm so happy she is 😍 she literally lights up my day when I see her videos pop up on my notifications. WE LOVE YOU CASS ❤
I hit up Marshall’s /tjmaxx and they have stuff for half or more off the retail price. Sometimes I can score good stuff for under 5 dollars.
You are soooo brave for trying all these on your skin all in one go! Great video ♥️
I've actually gotten a straight hyaluronic acid and retinol serums from the dollar store...they work nice too
My mom has purchased and used the Dermasil several times before and loved it, and when I tried it I liked it too. I couldn't tell you if it's like CeraVe or Cetaphil but I can tell you it's a good product.
I used this sooo many times I feel like it’s usually a bit thicker then CeraVe but as far as dry skin it’s perfect no fragrance just nice
I grew up with Dermasil. It was used in hospitals, and Dr.s offices. If used regularly it will soften elbows and knees enough to lighten the rough knees children get from playing on asphalt. It was at one time expensive bit it's in the Dollar stores. This stuff can heal rough feer put it generously on then cover with sicks for at least an hour. It is best used on bare skin.
in germany there is a great fragrance free cleansing oil from balea for only a few euros
Stuff here seems to less expensive in general when it comes to skin- and hair-care.
That foundation that was on Nikki tutorials is actually on AliExpress. Please please try some skin care or make up from AliExpress.
I don’t know why but you remind me of Daryl Hannah. Dying your hair blonde could be a look for you. LOL
Walgreens has this amazing sunscreen with zinc oxide that is oxybenzone free, fragrance free and oil free! It comes in a purple tube and is called “50 Sensitive Skin” is $2.99 but has been a part of buy one get one half off specials a lot
I was desperate for a moisturizer during quarantine and tried the aldi brand moisturizer and now I love it! It’s $3 a jar 😳
I like the dermasil face & body lotions. The body cream was first recommended to me by my doctor for eczema.
God I understand the STRUGGLE of finding cruelty free/vegan brands. Luckily online shopping has made it much easier to verify, but I’ve absolutely googled the brand before in the store.
When I wake up to your videos 😍😍 my entire day just gets better. Once again....hats off to your dedication and hardwork behind every single video. Thank you Cassandra😍❤Loadz of love❤
what is wrong with Dove bar soap, esp the sensitive skin bar that has no fragrance??? can you pulleeeeze explain. I began using it 3 years ago after giving up my expensive organic soap and believe it or not, my skin feels better and looks better. thank you Diane
This was my favorite video you’ve done. I was cringing when you were trying some of these!
Lmfaooo the hesitation on your face right before you used the cleanser 💀🤣😩 and the nose bubbles!!!
You should check and compare where two similar doup-like products are produced and manufactured. Often it's the same product with different lables.
I use a ponds foaming face wash from the dollar store & absolutely love it. It’s so creamy and makes your skin feel so nice. And it’s $1 so that’s always nice too 😂
I’m at the beginning of the video but I really hope you found this at your dollar tree and try it out. I’d love to hear your thoughts on it.
The Dermasil body cream has been nice for me. I have used it and liked it off and on for years depending on budget. I have not tried the other items. Not planning to try them except the liquid acne orange soap. Maybe. Also gonna try the smaller tube of Demasil shown. Thanks for this brave information.
Walgreens zinc clear sunscreen is awesome and around $4, not sure about the cruelty free vegan though. I pair it with the australian gold botanicals spf 50 and got my perfect finish
Thumbs up for “it puts the lotion on its skin” 😂😂😂
I'm dead 💀😂
We used to have our very verbal 1 year old say, “It puts the lotion in the basket.” Sooooo funny coming from a 1 year old
Cass, that ph tester you have is making my fingers tingle. 👀
Would you consider pH testing popular products to check if they are at the research-backed pH needed for the active ingredient to work? Eg: Naturium TXA serum, Hada Labo arbutin lotion (please!), etc.
Your black mouse ears headband make me so happy 😍😍😍 you’re literally precious and I love you so much
Granted, they weren’t super effective, BUT you didn’t spend a ton of money so that’s a plus!
I freaking love glow recipes watermelon sleeping mask. I didn't think it was going to work out for me, but honestly I really love it. It's not an every week product, it's a treat and boy does it make my skin feel good
Giiiiirl, you missed the Skin Nutritions retinol serum and hyaluronic acid/vitamin C serum at the Dollar Tree. I'm loving them!
I also really like the Global Beauty sheet masks, although I've been trying to move away from sheet masks lately. I love the Dermasil lotion in the larger tube (although it does contain petroleum).
Cassanda (to us, watching a video and not physically there) : "Omg, feel this! " LOL love it
omg hope you check out creme de skin nutritions from the dollar tree!! they have an awesome retinol serum and a hyalouronic acid serum. but then again i would totally stop using them if you said to LOL
In europe we have Cien (sold at Lidl supermarkets & online) and everything is pretty much under 5$. I prefer some of their products to more expensive ones I've tried!
I've used that Dermasil moisturizer from the Dollar Tree before and it worked well, but my ultimate goldmine, holy grail moisturizer that I SWEAR with MY LIFE by is the Creamy Petroleum Jelly from the Dollar Tree. I've used it on my face for over 15 years and it keeps it smooth and moisturized. I absolutely love it!
Under five I would say shop miss a is another sight to check or SHEIN they offer skincare also. I am not sure their products but they have some. Also five below where I live has really good skincare options
Your skin has such a natural healthy glow... You have natural demention, natural face highlights, naturally rosie cheeks and you can see your lips... Like who wouldnt trust what you had to say? Except for whats cruelty free. Honey can be good if its sourced with care. It can be really beneficial for bees who make too much honey.
yes it's true.. the brands are getting their source there in Alibaba
Umm a Queen for sacrificing her skin for science. As she said, don't let this flop y'all 😩😩😩❤❤❤
All my esthetic training kicked into over drive when you checked the ph and I LOST MY MIND!!! AHHHHHHH
As someone who is poor but would still like to have a healthy skin care routine. (I am 45 with sensitive combo skin. When I break out it is chin, nose area--especially between the nose and upper lip-- and occasionally my forehead. ) Can you do a video where you find products that WOULD work well that are $5 to $10? I would like to know what I can buy that is sort of affordable that would help with my skin.
I love my dollar tree hyaluronic acid serum and my retinol. Legit GREAT
Cassandra have you ever tried the Creme de Skin Nutritions Double Strength- Retinol Night Repair Serum or Creme de Skin Nutritions Hyaluronic Acid 1% + Vitamin C Serum? You should review those two products. I would be interested on what your opinion.
You, your personality, and your chancel gives me so much life. Wasn't a fan x years ago to be honest but wow you've grown so extremely in my eyes and you're my absolute favourite on RUclips. well, you and Hyram 😅. You're an absolutely fantastic young woman. Keep up the good work.
"When it is all said and moisturized..." 😋😁 Nice one, Cassandra!
I was so worried for you during the first half of this video. I know a lot of companies private label and that there is a large markup in products. But that bring said there is so much crap out there. Things not made in good, clean factories. And a lot of countries don’t regulate ingredients (i.e. arsenic). Now, I don’t buy high end skin care, but I balance cost with what I’m looking for in my skincare.
Cassandra!!! Even though Cantonese and Mandarin are spoken differently, they are written the same!! That goes the same for all the dialects in China! XD Also would have liked it if you also mentioned patch testing new products even if you weren't!
MISS A has this incredible Niacinamide + BHA moisturizer for $1! that is so good to my skin!
