Love that you're starting to embrace your curls. Your texture is gorgeous. I know it's been a struggle. It was for me with my curly hair, too. Gosh, what the media of the early 2000s brainwashed us into believing beautiful hair was. Or rather the "only kind of hair that was beautiful." I am happy to say today, that I wholeheartedly love my curls and I wish the same for you!
I love seeing people embrace their natural hair and I've been on a journey to reclaim my natural hair and use old fashioned hair care methods to enrich my longer locks (: Katherine (Kathryn*?) Sewing has some great videos about hair care if you're looking for historical context combined with someone who is reclaiming their hair care in the modern world (:
This is why I always find out my friends skin types and do research and buy them products around Christmas so they don’t use overpriced products that do NOTHING 😭
Same! A friend just started getting into skincare and I offered to get her a simple routine to start. She's asking me so many questions, which I love, and is getting excited to use the right ingredients for her skin.
I think Panoxyl is slowly becoming more mainstream, which suprised me because I saw in my Publix grocery store, They had a whole line of Panoxyl brand products. It suprised me but it had me pretty happy that I could try some stuff if I wanted.
Okay so I’m in Aesthetics school currently and I came across your reaction videos. Currently we’re learning “Skin Care Products: Chemistry and Ingredients” and when I tell you just by watching your videos is helping me study and memorize things for my test on Monday !😬 literally saying things I’m learning right now. Absolutely love your videos 🥰
❤ at 59, I have learned more from you in the last 8 months of watching your videos, then I ever knew about skin care. Some of your advice is too late for me….sunscreen really wasn’t a thing when I was younger! Thank you for all your advice! Please embrace your beautiful curls! So many of us paid for hair like yours for years during the 80’s! Curls are beautiful, especially natural curls.
I hear your sentiment, but I hope you're using sunscreen now - since they don't know the point at which cancer develops stopping ANY damage is better than none 😊
I know some people get irritated when a celebrity uses some skincare products that might be a bit expensive but the thing about is it that they’re not trying to sell us the products. Vogue Beauty secrets is literally just showing us what some of our favorite celebrities use for their skin, like they’re not telling us “you have to buy this product” or “you need to buy these products.” Even the ones that are sometimes ads where the celebrity is using products mainly by one brand….that’s not their fault, they’re being paid to use them and that’s how they make some of their money. At the end of the day, it really shouldn’t make a difference as to if some of these products are expensive or not….unless we’re truly thinking about buying some of them, Madelyn and any other celebrity using 1-2 expensive skincare products doesn’t impact any of us at all directly, like it’s their skincare meant for them and their faces individually….as long as it works for them, that’s all that should matter.
I'm surprised her skin hasn't fallen off 😅 you're not supposed to use a retinoid with the BR P50 (especially since she's using the strongest version). Then plus the vitamin c and BP. She must have super tolerant skin! And your hair looks amazing Cassandra!
@@realityvonqueef not familiar with that product, but a quick Google shows the A+ must refer to the azelaic acid. I still stand with my point that she uses a lot of actives with the BR. I know my face would be very angry with me 😅
@@realityvonqueef still a lot of actives 😅 i mean i use retinol and adapalene products together but at least those are all retinoids and i used them to target different regions
I was also wondering how is no one commenting on it,her skin is amazing tho,she used BP, P50 which is exfoliating, vitamin C which is an active,like give me your tolerant skin Mads 🤣
I love your videos, ur so real and since I’ve started following you I’ve done my darnest to change my skincare routine, i had horrible acne in my teens with painful cystic acne, my husbands was worse and was put on accutain , so I know my kids are probably in for a rough time when they hit puberty, now I’m 35 with textured skin and still have acne and on occasion cystic acne.. I’ve found a lot of the products u have recommended and I use now .. I’m more confident being natural faced than with makeup and I used to be that person who wouldn’t leave the house without makeup on and would buy the makeup that was “skin clearing” and wear ALL the time thinking it was helping .. but then would look 20 years older due to the makeup looking awful on my skin because of how textured it is along with having oily and dry skin and it settling and shifting ( it was so gross) .. so because of you I’m more confident in my skin and I’ll continue to watch your videos and when my kids hit the rough teenage years I’ll reference these videos and instead of spending way too much on expensive products I’ll look up the products u recommend first and hopefully get their routine started early before it gets too bad.. I just hope that by the time my oldest hit puberty.. acne is a bit more normalized.. I know growing up if u had bad skin you were like at like u had the bubonic plague .. and I remember being told to stop eating junk food like pizza and wash my face more often.. because i “dirty” it was soul crushing
All I can say is paring down my routine and having some simple days has save my skin. Panoxil every other day, peach and lily gentle cleanser, cerave, Rovectin Cica balm, and spf. Retinol 3x week.
Have been watching you for a while now, but finally prescribed today. This is the first comment I've ever left for you, but was compelled to comment to tell you how AMAZING your curls look today!!! 😍 You should wear your hair like that more often!!! Makes your eyes pop!
Was lucky to get sturm cream in a beauty bag and it is soooo good 😭😭😭 never tried anything better, i know ingredients are simple but they do work on extremely dry, irritated and eczema prone skin, and fixing any issue during one night only
Panoxyl has been my go to for 5 years now. Its affordable and considering I live in the middle of nowhere in the fingerlakes of NY, it's hard to find good skin care. Love Panoxyl!
$25 for 1.7oz/50ml is robbery though. You are suppose to use 1.7oz (only on the face) in 3weeks to a month. Robbery. You are not calculating properly. What about your arms? And your legs? Your abdomen? You people are spending too mucv thinking you are getting a steal. Go get you the Coola body spf at $28 for 5oz (around $9.5/1.7oz) or the avène children spf for 8oz at (if you can find it in the USA). Or, if your skin can handle it, the Sunbum chemical spf at $19 for 8oz
You're literally the big sister I always wanted, and the big sister I try to be. And I don't even have access to most of the products you suggest lol 😀 I am just learning the science to apply what I find on my country :):)
I love you in this video. Natural lightning, and we can clearily see your beautiful skin. You have zero redness, please share your current skincare rutine ! My skin is shiny, dry and red help :( no moisturizer seems to help and just clogs my pores
Biologique Recherche P50 (the big bottle) lasts a year if not more. All their products come in 2-3 different sizes so you aren't bound to the highest price point if you wanted to just try the product. I haven't broken out in 2 years from using this daily, twice a day.
I think this routine is pretty solid. Ofc you can get MUCH cheaper products that yield similar results but its so nice to see a celeb that is doing something right for their skin 🥹
P50 bottle last a very long time. It’s amazing… you can get it without the phenol, but it’s so much better with it. There’s nothing like p50 1970. 100% worth it. My large bottle lasts me about 5 months used twice a day.
Hi Cassandra, idk if u review indian skincare brands but recently theres been some really good brands coming up and one of them is called Pilgrim. They got a unique concept where they launch ranges of products with country specific ingredients like red wine from france, tea tree from Australia and they even have something called secrets of jeju island. If u don't mind, would u like to check it out maybe?
Hey cassandra, could you perhaps give some ideas on which sunscreens, both organic and mineral, are good for different skin types (and affordable)? Would love that, thank you 🫶🏻
The SPF correlates with how often you need to reapply??? I've never heard that, and people always say to reapply every two hours regardless of the SPF. How often should you reapply different SPF numbers?
Cassandra can you do a review of tbe star face skin care products are good for the skin??? especially all the star pimple patches they have in the collection
Clean & Clear has a moisturizer for Acne Control with 1.5%-2% Salicylic Acid which is the most you can buy OTC. Its great, they also have a toner with 2% Salicylic Acid which is also great. Equate which is Walmarts generic brand has an Apricot Scrub with 2% Salicylic Acid that I've been using for years.
So, A: stop shitting on the girl for using high end products; at the end of the day, it‘s her money and we shouldn’t be judging her for how she’s spending it. Also, if she wants to use eye cream, let her use the eye cream.
Hey Cassandra! Okay so would you please please please react to Kaia Gerber's skincare video? It's pretty old but i really think ud love it! Also, love love love watching your vids. They're my therapy on a daily basis ❤️🤌🏼
Hi Cassandra, I have been watching your videos for the past year and a half and they been so helpful in forming my skincare routine :). I was wondering if you knew and could make a video on shaving and beards. I prefer having the closest shave possible/zero stubble on my face and I have tried different ways of shaving and shaving against the grain gets the best results but if I do this too often in short periods my skin becomes irritated and gets razors-bumps and I was wondering If had any solutions to being able to this regardless if you have experienced it or not. Thank you for all the skincare advice it has helped my skin so much!😁
Another great informative video! I was wondering...I recently switched out a few of my Paula's Choice products for The Inkeylist. One was switching from the PC Retinol 1% to the Inkeylist Retinol 1% Scar and Wrinkle Solutions. I have not been able to find an in depth review of this particular Inkeylist product that was not a sponsored post or one by an actual Derm or Esthetician. I'm dying to know what your thoughts are on the product!
Your videos have been extremely helpful to me! First time commenting. Thank you for all the tips! I specifically clicked this one because it had the vitamin C serum I buy… long story short, 6 months ago it cost a little over a hundred. Then three months passed and the price went up to 162… and then just TWO WEEKS passed and it went up to 182 (as of Feb 2023 it is 182…).. my question is… how and why do these name brands like Skin Ceuticals charge this insane amount?
I can't say Panoxyl is vegan or cruelty free. I've reached out to them to ask if their products are vegan, and they have stated that they do not make the claim that all of their ingredients are vegan.
Hello Cassandra, what do you think about new pricey Ordinary Multi-Peptide Eye Serum? As a person with honest opinion about usefulness of eye creams, would you buy this new one? Or do you think Estée Lauder have started to steering the wheel and we can say bye bye to affordable cosmetics?
Zulily will sometimes have the Perricone MD Vit C at a really good discount. Also, I thought you weren't supposed to use Vit C and a retinoid in the same routine?
i want to use exact the same products but not the barbara sturm ones. Could i use the skinceuticals triple lipid cream instead and the eucerin oil control sunscreen? or ruines that the whole progress?
Cassandra, this is a retinol question. How do I use my Eucerin Duo Anti Pigment Serum with retinol? I usually use the Eucerin at night, and usually I’d use a retinol at night too.
Hi Cassandra) I love your video, been watching them over 2 years now maybe more😅) I have a question, is that true the liquid sunscreens do not protect in the same way as a creamy consistency? I been hearing this for a while, but not sure if that's true. Thank you❤️
It is not true - if the product has been tested as SPF 50, then it is at minimum SPF 50 regardless of the formulation. Some products fall down on their testing, but that doesn't change between formulas, its all to do with dodgy labs
I’m not so big on eye creams but I have been trying the same one as she is using and although I really hate the strong perfume smell that it has I like the free sample which I have been using for around 3 days now. I don’t have a lot of under eye wrinkles though. I will never understand why companies find the need to make skincare products smell like strong perfumes from the 1980’s.
Worried about all the actives...I added retinoids to my skincare routine that uses benzoyl wash and AHA BHA every night. Haven't found anything to keep the moisture up in my skin now that I'm older and it's more dry than oily, but not being able to use coconut means I can't seem to find a thicker, non-comedogenic cream to seal the deal.
Yeah that seems like a lot of actives. The only time I use multiple actives like that is with naturium’s vitamin c super serum. But that’s formulated together, so I dont get any irritation. It seems like her skin can handle all of the actives though
there's no retinoid in her routine. the SC phyto a+ is AzA and alpha arbutin, cassandra or her team should check these things before or during the recording.
Have you tried cutting down on all the exfoliation?? Using AHA and BHA every night with retinoids seems waaaay too much to me, especially with a drying face wash!! Most skincare people I watch recommend exfoliating 2-3 times a week, and never on the same days as retinoids. Alternate, and as someone with mature skin myself I'd say your skin will thank you for it! I can't use coconut either, and there are hundreds of good moisturisers out there, I live in New Zealand and use local ones at the moment - but I'd say there are more non-coconut than coconut moisturisers in the world!
@@cheekyb71 I'd love recommendations on moisturizers if you have them! And yes, I have tried cutting down on the actives, but it seems that even one night without my beautiful Some By Mi AHA BHA Cica gel or some other variation of AHA+BHA results in breakouts. The one I use is pretty gentle, but I do seem to need it every night.
‼️❤️NEW VIDEO IDEA❤️‼️ Have the SKINTELLECTUALS (fans/subscribers) send in short videos of their skincare routines and react to them. Give us some constructive criticism and scrutinize us 😂❤️ Give us tips and tricks!! (BTW‼️ You are my biggest inspiration!!! I’ve been watching your videos for the longest time now, and I now want to go into esthe school I’m also going to study cosmetology and dermatology…hair, makeup, skincare, etc. are now my favorite things to study and look into because of YOU!!!)
Maybe it's just me, but the STURM line is the biggest racket I'm familiar with in skincare. More than Le Mer, hooey and all. I'm sure there are others, but damn, Barbara.
Hello Cassandra, now that you mentioned that she applied her eye cream in the wrong order … I sometimes use beauty of Joseon retinol eye cream do I apply it before my vitamin C serum or after my vitamin C serum? 😬
I honestly wish you could see my skin and help me with my skin issues. Texture and dryness doesn’t even begin to tell you where I’m at. Seriously.. please help?!
Can you please please please review Good Science Beauty Skin Brightening cream 004 🙏 I purchased it a while back as a duo vitamin c and moisturizer but for some reason I don’t know if I’m using it properly. It has amazing ingredients but sits on top of my skin, and pills if I try to wear sunscreen over it. I’m so confused with this one!
I’m a teen, and have been using the 4% creamy panoxyl acne wash for a couple months, and it hasn’t really prevented or helped my pimples. Do you think I should try the 10% one, or would that be too drying? I think I have combination (or acne prone and sensitive) skin, and I don’t know how sensitive, but when I get pimples (pretty often) they are red and inflamed, and last for MONTHS, leaving red pigmentation for so long. I still have red and very sensitive hyperpigmentation from a past breakout a year ago, and I get reoccurring breakouts in those same spots. Please help🥲I’m not even sure what I should be using anymore. And I have a very red and angry blind pimple on my forehead that won’t surface or go away, any tips? Thank you for reading my rant!
I suggest adapalene or any retinol/retinal products. Also, try sulfur maybe? I have personally never tried sulfur but I heard they're good for acne and pretty cheap.
I'd suggest getting in to see a doctor if possible to check what is going on with your skin, RUclips recommendations are one thing - custom knowledge is better. Apostrophe if you live in the states seems to be a great option that Cass recommends sometimes too. For your post inflammatory hyperpigmentation or PIH (fancy words for the marks left after spots go) look for niacinamide, licorice root extracts, and vitamin C products. I live in New Zealand so my product recommendations are not helpful, but Cassandra has several videos on dealing with PIH... and again, RUclips learning is great, but sometimes you need custom help! Good luck
Question on some conflicting information I’ve reviewed. Can vitamin C and retinol (any form) be used alongside a benzoyl peroxide wash/active? I’ve read information stating that vitamin C and retinol both are rendered ineffective if used after benzoyl peroxide. And also that using a retinol in conjunction with a vitamin C would render the vitamin C ineffective. If this is the case it seems like it would be a game of rock, paper, scissors of one active always canceling one or another out. Not sure if there’s anything new on pubmed or freely available online with updated information. But curious if using these three actives all in the same routine is actually retentive if their efficacy?

That Skinceuticals Phyto A+ is not a retinoid. It contains Azaleic Acid and Alpha Arbutin; so the A stands for those ingredients and not Vitamin A. ☺️

Yeah…get a good Japanese or Korean sunscreen. They’re $25 or less.
As a european, I can't imagine paying more than 15$ for those small tubes of sunscreen, it's already too much imo 😆
@Morgiana Sartre they are good big size Korean sun creams out there
@@morgianasartre6709 Asian sunscreen are more water/oil resistant and long lasting than western suncreens.
I can get better european sunscreens for that price...
$25 for 1.7oz/50ml is robbery though. You are suppose to use 1.7oz (only on the face) in 3weeks to a month. Robbery. You are not calculating properly.
What about your arms? And your legs? Your abdomen? You people are spending too mucv thinking you are getting a steal.
Go get you the Coola body spf at $28 for 5oz (around $9.5/1.7oz) or the avène children spf for 8oz at (if you can find it in the USA). Or, if your skin can handle it, the Sunbum chemical spf at $19 for 8oz

Then three months passed and the price went up to 162… and then just TWO WEEKS passed and it went up to 182 (as of Feb 2023 it is 182…).. my question is… how and why do these name brands like Skin Ceuticals charge this insane amount?
Ya look gorgeous with that curly hair 🥰
your reaction to her showing the eye serum is so funny to me 😂
I can't say Panoxyl is vegan or cruelty free. I've reached out to them to ask if their products are vegan, and they have stated that they do not make the claim that all of their ingredients are vegan.
2:44 so that's basically how men's shave, but our brush is larger 😃
Hello Cassandra, what do you think about new pricey Ordinary Multi-Peptide Eye Serum? As a person with honest opinion about usefulness of eye creams, would you buy this new one? Or do you think Estée Lauder have started to steering the wheel and we can say bye bye to affordable cosmetics?
I’ve found Pacifica Vegan Ceramide Serum 29 ml (1 fl oz) in Marshall’s for $7 cuz they say it’s $10 retail.
The SkinCeuticals phyto A+ isn't a retinoid. It's Azelaic Acid.
“that’s a car payment!” 😂😂
Zulily will sometimes have the Perricone MD Vit C at a really good discount. Also, I thought you weren't supposed to use Vit C and a retinoid in the same routine?
i want to use exact the same products but not the barbara sturm ones. Could i use the skinceuticals triple lipid cream instead and the eucerin oil control sunscreen? or ruines that the whole progress?
Cassandra, this is a retinol question. How do I use my Eucerin Duo Anti Pigment Serum with retinol? I usually use the Eucerin at night, and usually I’d use a retinol at night too.
Hi Cassandra) I love your video, been watching them over 2 years now maybe more😅) I have a question, is that true the liquid sunscreens do not protect in the same way as a creamy consistency? I been hearing this for a while, but not sure if that's true. Thank you❤️
It is not true - if the product has been tested as SPF 50, then it is at minimum SPF 50 regardless of the formulation. Some products fall down on their testing, but that doesn't change between formulas, its all to do with dodgy labs
$360?! That was my equinox lease payment 3 years ago😬😬😬
I’m not so big on eye creams but I have been trying the same one as she is using and although I really hate the strong perfume smell that it has I like the free sample which I have been using for around 3 days now. I don’t have a lot of under eye wrinkles though. I will never understand why companies find the need to make skincare products smell like strong perfumes from the 1980’s.
I wanted to try the PanOxyl because of benzoyl peroxide, but as an adult and if it’s gonna make my skin dry…I’m gonna have to rethink it. 😢
Your hair shows that you have been following Mell's advice! 😎
Great video! How do I find the cheaper dupes
Can you review Clinique skincare?
Worried about all the actives...I added retinoids to my skincare routine that uses benzoyl wash and AHA BHA every night. Haven't found anything to keep the moisture up in my skin now that I'm older and it's more dry than oily, but not being able to use coconut means I can't seem to find a thicker, non-comedogenic cream to seal the deal.
Yeah that seems like a lot of actives. The only time I use multiple actives like that is with naturium’s vitamin c super serum. But that’s formulated together, so I dont get any irritation. It seems like her skin can handle all of the actives though
there's no retinoid in her routine. the SC phyto a+ is AzA and alpha arbutin, cassandra or her team should check these things before or during the recording.
Have you tried cutting down on all the exfoliation?? Using AHA and BHA every night with retinoids seems waaaay too much to me, especially with a drying face wash!!
Most skincare people I watch recommend exfoliating 2-3 times a week, and never on the same days as retinoids. Alternate, and as someone with mature skin myself I'd say your skin will thank you for it!
I can't use coconut either, and there are hundreds of good moisturisers out there, I live in New Zealand and use local ones at the moment - but I'd say there are more non-coconut than coconut moisturisers in the world!
@@cheekyb71 I'd love recommendations on moisturizers if you have them!
And yes, I have tried cutting down on the actives, but it seems that even one night without my beautiful Some By Mi AHA BHA Cica gel or some other variation of AHA+BHA results in breakouts. The one I use is pretty gentle, but I do seem to need it every night.
That sun screen is sadly the only one that doesn’t cause irritation to my face 😢
I would love to use this however I have a allergy to benzoyl peroxide, but I have been looking for alternatives.
‼️❤️NEW VIDEO IDEA❤️‼️
Have the SKINTELLECTUALS (fans/subscribers) send in short videos of their skincare routines and react to them.
Give us some constructive criticism and scrutinize us 😂❤️
Give us tips and tricks!!
(BTW‼️ You are my biggest inspiration!!! I’ve been watching your videos for the longest time now, and I now want to go into esthe school I’m also going to study cosmetology and dermatology…hair, makeup, skincare, etc. are now my favorite things to study and look into because of YOU!!!)
Ughhh would love that!!
Maybe it's just me, but the STURM line is the biggest racket I'm familiar with in skincare. More than Le Mer, hooey and all. I'm sure there are others, but damn, Barbara.
I completely agree with you. She’s robbing people!!!
They also have been acting like big bullies for influncers that challenge them.
@@danaso2567 Wasn't aware of that, thank you for sharin.
The curls!!!!!
p50 totaly worth its money but should prescribed by sertificated esthetician. It could be too active for dry or allergic skin
Outer Banks in NC beautiful beaches 😅
Hello Cassandra, now that you mentioned that she applied her eye cream in the wrong order … I sometimes use beauty of Joseon retinol eye cream do I apply it before my vitamin C serum or after my vitamin C serum? 😬
The amount of condescension in this video, even though you agreed with almost her entire routine, reminded me of why I stopped watching you. Wow.
My mother toll me to watch u❤
Cass was really trying to be nice till dr strumme moisturizer and then she lost it ,you r so hilarious
please do a the truth About drunk elephant
I honestly wish you could see my skin and help me with my skin issues. Texture and dryness doesn’t even begin to tell you where I’m at. Seriously.. please help?!
Are used to panoxyl and
it actually works
Can you please please please review Good Science Beauty Skin Brightening cream 004 🙏 I purchased it a while back as a duo vitamin c and moisturizer but for some reason I don’t know if I’m using it properly. It has amazing ingredients but sits on top of my skin, and pills if I try to wear sunscreen over it. I’m so confused with this one!
Can we use that peeling toner with the vit C and vit A ???
I’m a teen, and have been using the 4% creamy panoxyl acne wash for a couple months, and it hasn’t really prevented or helped my pimples. Do you think I should try the 10% one, or would that be too drying? I think I have combination (or acne prone and sensitive) skin, and I don’t know how sensitive, but when I get pimples (pretty often) they are red and inflamed, and last for MONTHS, leaving red pigmentation for so long. I still have red and very sensitive hyperpigmentation from a past breakout a year ago, and I get reoccurring breakouts in those same spots. Please help🥲I’m not even sure what I should be using anymore. And I have a very red and angry blind pimple on my forehead that won’t surface or go away, any tips? Thank you for reading my rant!
I have pretty much the same issue. Pigmentation left by the pimples are a pain in the ass
I would say one thing to try is to use actives that stay on the skin not just on cleansers. Salicylic acid, retinol, adaplane, azelaic acid etc
You need azelaic acid
I suggest adapalene or any retinol/retinal products. Also, try sulfur maybe? I have personally never tried sulfur but I heard they're good for acne and pretty cheap.
I'd suggest getting in to see a doctor if possible to check what is going on with your skin, RUclips recommendations are one thing - custom knowledge is better. Apostrophe if you live in the states seems to be a great option that Cass recommends sometimes too.
For your post inflammatory hyperpigmentation or PIH (fancy words for the marks left after spots go) look for niacinamide, licorice root extracts, and vitamin C products. I live in New Zealand so my product recommendations are not helpful, but Cassandra has several videos on dealing with PIH... and again, RUclips learning is great, but sometimes you need custom help!
Good luck
Question on some conflicting information I’ve reviewed.
Can vitamin C and retinol (any form) be used alongside a benzoyl peroxide wash/active? I’ve read information stating that vitamin C and retinol both are rendered ineffective if used after benzoyl peroxide. And also that using a retinol in conjunction with a vitamin C would render the vitamin C ineffective. If this is the case it seems like it would be a game of rock, paper, scissors of one active always canceling one or another out. Not sure if there’s anything new on pubmed or freely available online with updated information. But curious if using these three actives all in the same routine is actually retentive if their efficacy?
I would like to know how many products you have at home Casandra :) Can you show it to us one time ?
What do you think about European sunscreens?
hey cassandra. can i use inkey list b c e moisturizer after diffrin adapalene gel
